Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does Flooring Installation Take in Austin?
Carpet installation can often be completed within a day or two of purchase. Hardwood, LVP, and tile projects may require additional time for acclimation, subfloor prep, and drying. A specialist can give you a project-specific timeline when you call.
Do I Need to Prepare My Rooms Before the Crew Arrives?
Clearing furniture from the rooms being installed is typically required. The team can advise on any subfloor preparation needed, such as leveling or moisture testing, based on your space and flooring choice.
Is Professional Installation Necessary?
Professional installation is strongly recommended for most flooring types, especially hardwood, tile, and LVP over concrete slabs. Improper installation can cause uneven surfaces, edge gaps, and voided manufacturer warranties that often cost more to fix than professional installation would have.
What Flooring Works Best on Concrete Slab Foundations?
Engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and tile all perform well on the concrete slab foundations common across Austin and its suburbs. A local installer familiar with Central Texas building styles can help you choose the right product for your slab and climate.
