How long should laminate planks acclimate before installation?
To prevent buckling or gaps, laminate needs 48 to 72 hours to adjust to your home’s specific temperature and humidity. We recommend delivering the material to your space a few days before we begin the work.
Do you install a moisture barrier under the laminate?
Absolutely. Especially in Florida, protecting your floor from slab moisture is critical. We use high-grade 6-mil vapor barriers or premium integrated underlayment to ensure your floor stays dry and stable.
What if my subfloor is uneven?
A flat subfloor is the secret to a perfect laminate floor. We perform a full subfloor assessment and use grinding or leveling compounds to eliminate any dips or humps, ensuring your new floor doesn’t “bounce” or squeak.
Is the laminate flooring you install waterproof?
We work with the latest waterproof and water-resistant laminate collections. While the planks themselves are highly resistant, our precision installation ensures that tight seams help protect your subfloor from occasional spills.
Will my new floor be noisy to walk on?
Not with our installation. We use advanced acoustic underlayment that dampens sound and provides a solid, quiet feel underfoot, eliminating that “hollow” sound often associated with DIY laminate jobs.
Can you install laminate over existing tile?
In many cases, yes, provided the tile is well-bonded and perfectly flat. However, we often recommend a full tear-out to ensure the best height transitions and long-term stability of the locking system.
Do I need to remove my baseboards?
For the cleanest, most professional look, we recommend removing and reinstalling baseboards. This allows us to hide the necessary expansion gaps behind the board rather than using “quarter-round” molding.
