Floor removal & demo in Royse City, TX

If it is pier-and-beam with a plank subfloor, yes, and that is exactly what solid hardwood was made for. It is an option the new houses south of I-30 do not have. We screw the subfloor down first to stop squeaks, check for spring between the joists, and add plywood underlayment where the old planks are not flat. Then the hardwood gets nailed down the traditional way.

We shoot elevations at every doorway during the estimate rather than assuming they match. In a house that has been patched, leveled and added to for a century, the differences are real and they are not always visible. Once we have numbers we can plan the transitions properly, whether that means feathering the subfloor, using a reducer, or resetting a threshold, instead of improvising on the last day.

Yes. Waterscape, Creekshaw, Verandah and the rest of the FM 548 corridor are all in our area, and we come out from the Forney showroom with samples in the truck. Because Royse City runs across Rockwall, Collin and Hunt counties, give us the full address when you call (972) 564-5533 so we route the crew and the material delivery correctly.

Occasionally. A floating floor can go over sound, fully bonded tile in some situations. What stops it more often is height. Every inch you add changes door swings, thresholds, the transition into adjoining rooms, the clearance under a dishwasher and the fit of a refrigerator into its opening. You also inherit whatever is wrong with the old floor, flatness and cracks included.

With containment set up properly, most families stay. We build plastic barriers at the openings, seal the registers and returns in the work zone so nothing travels through the ductwork, and grind with vacuum attached at the tool. Expect noise, and expect the work zone off limits during the day. Demolition done without any of that is what people mean when the dust never seems to end.

It might be, and it should be tested rather than guessed at. Nine-inch tile and black cutback adhesive were both common then, and either can contain asbestos. Intact and covered, they are not a hazard. The risk comes from grinding or sanding them dry. We sample and test before anything is disturbed, and a positive result goes to a licensed abatement firm before we return to prep and install.
