How to prepare your home for flooring installation

A practical checklist so install day goes smoothly — furniture, appliances, humidity, and access.

We handle prep work and leave your home clean when we finish — but a few homeowner steps make the day faster and safer for everyone.

Before we arrive

  • Clear furniture and belongings from rooms being floored (or ask us about move-out help).
  • Remove wall hangings that sit near baseboards if they could interfere with trim work.
  • Plan pet and kid access away from the work area.
  • Confirm parking and entry for our crew and material delivery.

What we handle

Subfloor inspection, leveling where needed, underlayment, installation, transitions, and cleanup are part of the job. We won't cut corners on what's underneath — a solid foundation makes the difference.
