Our Laminate flooring installation process
We follow a clear five-step process for every project:
- Consultation: We start with a phone conversation to understand your needs and set up a time for an in-home assessment;
- On-Site Measurement: Our specialist visits your location in Barnstable to measure the space, inspect the subfloor, and discuss details. We then provide a firm quote;
- Scheduling: Once you approve the quote, we schedule the installation at a convenient time for you;
- Installation: Our team arrives on the scheduled day and installs your laminate flooring efficiently. This includes any necessary subfloor prep, laying the underlayment and laminate planks, and installing trim or transitions;
- Walk-Through: We clean up thoroughly and walk through the finished project with you to ensure everything is perfect and you are satisfied with the result.
Preparation before laminate flooring installation
- Acclimate the flooring: Have the laminate planks delivered to the install area at least 48 hours in advance. This allows them to adjust to the local temperature and humidity;
- Finish other projects first: Complete any messy renovations (painting, drywall, plumbing) and let them dry before we start the flooring work;
- Clear the area: Remove furniture and personal items from the rooms to give installers a clear workspace. (If you need help with heavy items, let us know beforehand.);
- Subfloor readiness: If you suspect any subfloor issues (uneven spots or damage), tell us during the estimate so we can plan to address them. A clean, dry, level base ensures the best result.
Benefits of laminate flooring
Laminate flooring is a popular choice for homeowners in Barnstable because it offers an excellent balance of beauty, durability, and value:
- Budget-Friendly: Laminate gives you the high-end look of hardwood (or even stone/tile designs) at a fraction of the price. Both the material and the installation labor are typically more affordable than traditional hardwood flooring, so you can upgrade your floors without breaking the bank;
- Durable & Scratch-Resistant: Quality laminate floors have a robust wear layer that resists scratches, dents, and fading. This makes laminate ideal for busy households with pets, children, or lots of foot traffic. It maintains its appearance under daily wear and tear;
- Low Maintenance: Laminate is very easy to care for. Routine sweeping or vacuuming and the occasional damp mop are all it takes to keep it clean. There’s no need for polishing or refinishing over the years. Spills and stains can be wiped up easily thanks to the floor’s protective top layer;
- Eco-Friendly Options: Laminate uses a high-density fiberboard core made from wood byproducts, so it maximizes the use of renewable materials. Many brands offer low-VOC, eco-conscious products that are healthier for your home’s air quality. You get the look of natural wood without using solid hardwood, which can be a more sustainable choice.
