What Is the Typical Process for a Flooring Installation Project?
A flooring installation project involves several steps to ensure a flawless finish. Tower Marble breaks down the typical process so you know what to expect when installing new floors in your home or business.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
The first step in any flooring installation project is a consultation with the contractor. During this phase, Tower Marble works with you to understand your style preferences, functional needs, and budget. You’ll discuss the different flooring options available, including hardwood, marble, tile, or engineered flooring, and decide which one best suits your space. The contractor will measure the area to be floored, evaluate the subfloor conditions, and provide an estimate for the project.
This is also a great time to ask any questions you might have about materials, timelines, and the installation process. Once you’ve selected your flooring type and agreed on the details, a timeline will be established for the installation process. The planning phase ensures that the entire project runs smoothly, with clear communication between you and the contractor every step of the way.
Step 2: Preparation and Installation
After the planning phase, the preparation for installation begins. Tower Marble’s team will clear the area of any existing flooring, furniture, or debris and make any necessary repairs to the subfloor to ensure a stable foundation for your new floors. Once the area is prepped, the actual installation process begins. For hardwood floors, this may involve laying the planks, sanding, and finishing. For tile or marble, the pieces are carefully placed and grouted.
Throughout this phase, the team ensures precise alignment and that the floors are installed to the highest standards. Depending on the flooring type, the installation could take a few hours to several days. Afterward, the floors will be cleaned, sealed, and left to cure, if necessary. Finally, the contractor will perform a final inspection to ensure that every detail has been addressed, and your new floors are ready to enjoy.
