We stand out by professionalism obtained with each job that I performed in the last decade. My customers are very satisfied with the finish product that results from my attention to details and passion that I have for woodwork. After I complete the job, more satisfaction arises by leaving the house dust free, using dustless machines/equipment.
"My "new-old" floors are better than I ever could have imagined. George and his crew were on time, on budget, on target and created such beauty in my home that I don't want to move my furniture back in. I needed several patches, and all look seamless with the original floor. He brought new life to my 1936 fir, and created a continuous flow with the 2004 oak. He even came after hours to do a last-minute patch I needed. He is conscientious, respectful and gracious. His employees are the same. I would never go to any other floor team. Ever."

Removal timelines vary significantly based on installation method and room complexity. Professional teams can complete a standard bedroom (120 to 150 square feet) in four to six hours, while DIY efforts might extend across an entire weekend.
Factors affecting completion time include furniture removal, baseboard detachment, and underlayment condition. Glued installations require substantially more time than floating floors, potentially doubling the labor hours needed for thorough removal.
Essential equipment includes a pry bar, utility knife, hammer, and protective gear (gloves, eye protection, and dust mask). For areas with adhesive, you'll need scrapers and potentially a heat gun to soften stubborn glue. A shop vacuum helps manage dust and debris throughout the process. Knee pads provide crucial comfort during extended periods of floor-level work. Proper preparation with the right tools helps prevent both personal injury and damage to your subfloor during removal.
Subfloor damage risks increase with aggressive removal techniques and inadequate preparation. Working methodically with appropriate tools minimizes potential harm to the underlying structure. Particular care should be taken around edges and transitions where fasteners might be present.
Inspect the subfloor thoroughly after removal to identify any areas needing repair before installing new flooring. Pre-existing moisture issues often reveal themselves during laminate removal, requiring attention regardless of the removal method.
Stair removal involves more intricate work than standard laminate floor removal due to the complex shapes and limited workspace. The process requires careful attention to avoid damaging the underlying stair structure. Consider stair removal as part of a comprehensive flooring update, as matching new materials to existing stair components can be challenging.
Always inspect stair integrity during the removal process, as this presents an ideal opportunity to address any structural concerns before installing new materials.
