What to Expect During a Floor Installation: Step by Step (Literally)

Getting new flooring is one of the most rewarding home upgrades you can make. It instantly transforms the look and feel of your space, boosts property value, and gives your home a fresh start. But if you’ve never gone through a professional flooring installation before, you might be wondering—what exactly happens?

At Step By Step Floors Colorado, we believe an informed customer is a happy customer. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect before, during, and after your flooring installation.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Estimate

Before anything is removed or installed, we begin with a personalized consultation. We visit your home or business to:

• Measure the area
• Assess subfloor conditions
• Discuss your lifestyle, budget, and style preferences
• Show samples and recommend materials

We’ll then provide a detailed estimate with a timeline and material breakdown. No surprises, just clear communication.

Step 2: Material Selection and Scheduling

Once you approve the estimate, we help you finalize your material selection. Whether it’s hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), engineered wood, or tile, we’ll confirm availability and schedule your project around your calendar.

We also advise you on:

• Prep steps before installation
• Furniture moving plans
• Pet and child safety during the process

Step 3: Site Preparation

Proper preparation is key to a lasting floor. On installation day (or just before), we:

• Remove old flooring if needed
• Clean and level the subfloor
• Deliver and acclimate materials as required (especially for hardwood)

We’ll protect adjacent areas, cover vents, and ensure everything is ready to go.

Step 4: Professional Installation

This is where the magic happens. Our expert installers get to work using industry-standard tools, precise layout planning, and decades of experience.

Typical installation tasks include:

• Cutting and fitting each board or tile with precision
• Installing underlayment or moisture barriers as needed
• Seamless transitions between rooms
• Clean edge work along baseboards and walls

Installations can take 1–3 days depending on the size of the job and the flooring type.

Step 5: Clean Up and Walkthrough

We treat your home with care and respect. After the installation, we:

• Vacuum and sweep the area
• Remove debris and unused materials
• Conduct a full walkthrough with you to ensure satisfaction

We’ll also leave behind product care guides and explain how to maintain your new floors.

Step 6: Enjoy Your New Floors

Now the fun part—living in your beautiful, upgraded space.

Depending on the material, we may recommend waiting 24–48 hours before replacing furniture or rugs. We’ll guide you on cleaning products, maintenance tips, and how to extend the life of your investment.
