Flooring and Tile FAQ
Do you move furniture?
We can move furniture as part of the project for an additional fee. Many clients prefer to move smaller items themselves and have us handle larger pieces. We discuss this during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Can we live in the home during installation?
Yes. We work room by room or in sections so you have access to living areas. We discuss the sequence upfront and keep work areas clean and contained.
How long before we can walk on the new flooring?
For LVP and laminate, you can typically walk on it immediately after installation. For tile, grout needs to cure for 24-48 hours before foot traffic. Hardwood may require 24 hours depending on the finish. We provide specific guidance for your installation.
Do you replace baseboards or quarter round?
Yes. We can replace baseboards, install new quarter round, or reinstall existing trim depending on the project and your preference. We discuss options and include this in your quote.
How do you handle subfloor leveling?
We inspect the subfloor before installation. If leveling is needed, we use self-leveling compound to create a flat surface. This prevents issues like hollow spots, cracking, or uneven wear. Leveling is quoted separately if significant work is required.
Do I need new baseboards with new flooring?
Not always. If your existing baseboards are in good condition, we can carefully remove and reinstall them. However, if they are damaged, outdated, or if you are changing flooring height significantly, new baseboards may be recommended. We can also add quarter round to cover expansion gaps if you prefer to keep existing baseboards.
What flooring is best for pets?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) and tile are the most pet-friendly options. Both are scratch-resistant, waterproof, and easy to clean. LVP is softer underfoot, while tile is extremely durable. We help you choose based on your specific needs.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the West Valley and Greater Phoenix including Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, Goodyear, Avondale, Phoenix, and surrounding communities.
Do you install shower tile and tub surrounds?
Yes. We install tile for shower walls, floors, tub surrounds, and niches. This includes proper waterproofing, backer board, and substrate prep to prevent leaks and ensure a long-lasting installation.
What's included in tile substrate prep?
Substrate prep includes removing old materials, inspecting and repairing the subfloor or wall surface, installing cement backer board where needed, and applying waterproofing membrane in wet areas like showers. Proper prep prevents cracked tiles and water damage.
Do you seal grout?
Yes. We seal grout on all tile installations to protect against staining and moisture. We also help you choose the right grout color and type (sanded vs. unsanded) based on your tile and application.
How long before we can use a tiled shower?
Tile adhesive typically needs 24 hours to set. Grout needs 24-48 hours to cure before exposure to water. We provide specific guidance based on your installation, but plan for 2-3 days before full shower use.
Can you match or replace cracked tiles?
In many cases, yes. If you have spare tiles or we can source a close match, we can replace cracked or damaged tiles. We assess the subfloor underneath to ensure the replacement won't crack again. For older tile, matching can be difficult. We'll let you know upfront if a full replacement makes more sense.
