When it comes to transforming your home with new floors, professional installation makes all the difference. At Floors for Less, we specialize in delivering top-quality flooring solutions across Wisconsin, ensuring every step of the process is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. If you’re planning a flooring upgrade, here’s a clear step-by-step guide to what you can expect during the installation process with us.



Step 1: Initial Consultation and Selection

Every successful flooring project begins with choosing the right product. During your consultation, our team helps you explore options such as hardwood, tile, carpet, laminate, or vinyl flooring. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each based on your lifestyle, budget, and design preferences.

Step 2: Accurate Measurement and Cost Estimate

Once you’ve chosen your flooring, our experts will take precise measurements of your space. This ensures a perfect fit and helps us provide a transparent, detailed estimate that covers materials, labor, and any additional services like underlayment or removal of old flooring.

Step 3: Preparing the Space

Before installation begins, we ask that furniture and valuables be removed from the work area. Our team can handle old flooring removal if needed. Preparing the subfloor is a critical step—whether that involves leveling, cleaning, or adding moisture barriers, we ensure the foundation is ready for a flawless installation.

Step 4: Professional Flooring Installation

This is where our experienced floor installers in Madison bring your vision to life. Depending on your chosen material, installation methods may vary:

• Hardwood & Laminate: Carefully placed with expansion gaps to prevent warping.
• Tile: Installed with precision alignment and professional grouting.
• Carpet: Stretched and secured for a seamless, soft finish.
• Vinyl Planks: Locked together for a durable, water-resistant surface.

Our team works efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Step 5: Finishing Touches and Cleanup

Once the installation is complete, we finish edges, transitions, and trims to ensure a polished look. We also clean up the worksite, so your new floors are ready to enjoy right away.

FAQs

What should I expect on installation day?
On the day of installation, our team arrives with all the necessary tools and materials. They prepare the subfloor, ensure it is clean and level, and then begin laying the flooring according to the chosen design. You can expect some noise and movement in your home, but our professionals work efficiently to minimize disruptions.

How long does flooring installation usually take?
The time required depends on the size of your space and the type of flooring. For example, laminate or vinyl can often be installed within a day, while hardwood and tile may take longer due to additional preparation and finishing. On average, most residential projects are completed within one to three days.

Do I need to remove furniture before the installation?
Yes, it’s best to remove all furniture and belongings from the installation area beforehand. If assistance is needed, you can let us know, and our team may help with moving heavy items safely. This ensures a smoother and quicker process.

What happens to my old flooring?
Depending on the agreement, we can remove and dispose of your old flooring for you. Some customers prefer to handle this themselves, while others let our team take care of it. Either way, we make sure the surface is properly prepared before laying the new floor.

How do I maintain my new flooring?
Maintenance depends on the flooring type. Hardwood requires refinishing over time, tile may need grout cleaning, and vinyl or laminate needs simple sweeping and mopping. We provide tailored care instructions to help you keep your floor in perfect condition for years.
