Laminate Floor Installation
Expert Laminate Flooring Installers
Laminate flooring is designed to be easy to install, which appeals to many DIYers, but there are many important things to consider before installing laminate flooring.
Have you accounted for the width of the last row of planks? Will the row be wide enough, or do you need to start by trimming the first row to ensure the last row is of sufficient width? Do you have a circular saw for cutting planks and an oscillating saw for undercutting door frames? How do you level a subfloor? How do you install around existing plumbing?
Although laminate flooring snaps together and requires fewer tools than traditional hardwood flooring, installation is still a job best left to the professionals. Rest assured all of these concerns and more will be taken care of by our expert laminate flooring installation team with over 50+ years of combined experience.

Finally, your consultant will schedule your flooring installation and let you know any actions you need to take to prepare for the installation day.
