New Floors for Webster Homes, Laid on a Properly Prepared Base

Luxury vinyl plank and tile handle moisture best, since neither one swells. Engineered hardwood is the better wood choice on slab, because its layered core moves less than solid boards. Laminate works well too if it goes over a proper vapor barrier and is kept away from rooms that get wet often.

We measure your rooms, test the slab and then write a quote that lists removal, prep, material, underlayment and trim separately. Price depends mostly on square footage, the condition of the slab and the material you choose. We do not quote a final number until we have seen the floor.

A couple of bedrooms in carpet or vinyl plank often take a day or two. Tile takes longer, since thinset and grout need time to cure, and slab leveling can add a day. We give you an expected schedule with your quote.

Yes. Tearing out the existing floor and hauling it off is work we do ourselves, and it shows up on your quote as a separate line. We can move most furniture out of the work area and back. Please clear out small items, fragile pieces and anything inside cabinets before we arrive.

Yes. Wood and laminate take on or lose moisture until they match the indoor air. Installed too soon, boards can cup or open gaps once they adjust. We keep the material inside your home for the time the manufacturer specifies before we cut anything.

It does not rule out the floor you want, but it changes how it goes down. For floating floors we add a vapor barrier film under the underlayment. For glue-down vinyl or wood we switch to an adhesive rated for higher slab moisture, or apply a moisture-blocking primer first. We show you the readings and explain which option fits before anything is ordered.

Sometimes. A floating vinyl plank floor can go over old ceramic tile that is flat and stuck tight to the slab with no hollow spots, as long as the added height still clears doors and appliances. Carpet, pad and any loose or cracked tile always come out first. We check door clearances, dishwasher height and transitions during the visit and tell you which way makes sense.

Replacing floor coverings usually does not require a city permit. If your job involves anything beyond that, or your HOA has rules on materials or sound underlayment, we will point it out during the visit so you can check before work starts.

Yes. We provide a 1-year workmanship warranty on all installations. If something in how we installed your floor gives you trouble in that first year, let us know by phone and we will come take a look.
