Flooring installed on a properly prepared subfloor
Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, and engineered wood, with the subfloor levelled and prepared before anything is laid.
Overview
A floor that is flat, quiet, and still tight in a few years, which depends almost entirely on what happens before the first plank.
What flooring installation involves
Almost everything that determines whether a floor lasts happens before the first plank goes down. The subfloor has to be sound, flat, and dry, and the layout has to be set out so the room reads correctly.
The visible part is quick by comparison. The preparation is what you are actually paying for.

What you get
Subfloor prepared first
Levelling and preparation are part of the job. A new floor laid over an uneven subfloor telegraphs every dip and can fail at the joints.
Layout planned before laying
Plank direction, starting line, and transitions are set out first, so the room reads correctly and cuts fall sensibly.
Transitions and trim finished
Thresholds, reducers, and reinstated baseboard or shoe are included, which is what makes an installation look complete.
Before & after
Completed flooring installation projects will be documented here with same-angle before-and-after photography.
Project photography is being prepared. In the meantime, see our before & after comparisons and recent projects.
