Are you overwhelmed by the constant battle against carpet stains, especially with kids and pets in the house? You’re not alone! We recently helped a family in Lincoln, California, transition from messy carpets to beautiful, practical luxury vinyl flooring. Let’s dive into how Dr. JS Hardwood Flooring made this transformation not just easy, but enjoyable.
The Challenge: A Family's Needs
Our clients reached out with a common concern: their upstairs carpets were not just hard to maintain but were also prone to pet accidents. With a new baby on the way, they needed a flooring solution that was not only stylish but also durable and easy to clean. After discussing their needs, we recommended luxury vinyl flooring (LVP) as the ideal choice—a perfect blend of elegance and practicality.
Day One: Preparation is Key
On the first day, our team prioritized dust containment. We set up plastic barriers to protect the rest of the home from dust and debris. Next, we carefully removed and labeled the baseboards, ensuring a seamless reinstall later.
Once the baseboards were out, we tackled the carpets, removing them from both the upstairs and the staircase. A clean slate was essential for the new flooring to shine.
Step Two: Preparing the Subfloor
After removing the carpets, we inspected the subfloor for any squeaks or imperfections. A well-prepped subfloor is critical to avoid future problems with the new flooring. We sanded and leveled the plywood, ensuring a flat, sturdy base. This attention to detail is what sets us apart.
Step Three: Installing Luxury Vinyl Flooring
With the subfloor ready, we eagerly moved to the installation phase. We meticulously laid each plank of luxury vinyl flooring, ensuring that no two pieces aligned. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces the floor’s durability.
Following the manufacturer’s guidelines, we maintained a quarter-inch expansion gap around all perimeters, allowing the flooring to move naturally with temperature changes.
Step Four: Baseboards and Finishing Touches
Once the flooring was installed, we carefully reattached the baseboards. It’s crucial to avoid pinning the LVP down too tightly, as this can cause future complications. We want your floor to move freely and last for years to come.
Next, we turned our attention to the stairs, applying the same meticulous process. We added stunning paint-grade white risers and skirtboards, elevating the entire look of the staircase.
The Stunning Result
The transformation was nothing short of remarkable! Our clients were ecstatic with their new Mohawk Stone Core luxury vinyl flooring. It not only enhanced the aesthetics of their home but also provided the durability they needed for their busy lifestyle.
