Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical flooring installation take?
The timeline for flooring installation depends largely on the material and the size of the area. A standard 1,000-square-foot luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installation can often be completed in just two to three days. However, custom tile work for bathrooms or large-format porcelain floors requires more time for precision cutting and grout curing, typically taking five to seven days. We provide a specific project schedule during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Can you install new flooring over my existing tile or wood?
While it is technically possible to perform an “overlay” with certain materials like LVP or laminate, we generally recommend a full demolition. Installing over existing flooring can lead to height issues with doors and transitions, and it may hide underlying subfloor problems like rot or unevenness. By removing the old material, our flooring installation team can ensure the subfloor is perfectly prepped, resulting in a much more durable and professional finish.
What is the most durable flooring for pets and kids?
For households with high activity, we highly recommend Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Porcelain Tile. LVP is 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, and softer underfoot, making it ideal for pets and children. Porcelain tile is nearly indestructible and resistant to moisture and stains, making it the gold standard for kitchens and bathrooms. We can help you weigh the pros and cons of each material based on your specific lifestyle needs.
Why is subfloor preparation so important for tile?
Tile is a rigid material, meaning it does not bend. If your subfloor has any “give,” flex, or uneven spots, the tile or the grout lines will eventually crack. During our flooring and tile installation process, we spend a significant amount of time reinforcing the subfloor and using self-leveling compounds if necessary. This creates a rock-solid, flat foundation that prevents your investment from failing years down the road.
How do I choose the right grout for my tile?
Grout selection is both an aesthetic and functional choice. We offer a variety of colors to either match your tile for a seamless look or contrast it to highlight the pattern. More importantly, we use high-quality, stain-resistant grouts that don’t require frequent sealing. For high-moisture areas like showers, we use specific antimicrobial grouts to prevent mold and ensure your tile installation remains beautiful and easy to maintain.
Do you provide the flooring materials or do I?
We can do either! We have established relationships with top-tier flooring and tile distributors in San Diego and can source premium materials at competitive prices for you. However, if you have already purchased your own tile or planks, our flooring installation team is more than happy to provide the expert labor and professional prep materials needed to complete the project to our high standards.
