"Moving to the city of Durham, NC from Los Angeles, CA, knowing nobody in this new city and having a very bad experience with the natural slate tile previously installed in my property in Los Angeles, I was very skeptical and cautious when working with any local installers for my request, again for natural slate tile installation for my new single family home construction in Treyburn Forest community of Durham. Julio, Mario and their tile crew at Santi Hardwood Flooring did the excellent tile job for the first floor with Brazilian Montauk blue 24"x24" natural slate tile and two shower rooms of this new construction. Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring teams continue to work on the second floor with Hickory solid hardwood planks. With his teams' great success in the natural slate tile installation, I have no doubt about his teams' skill on any solid hardwood installation which I believe, his teams are the experts. Absolutely, I would highly recommend Julio and his Santi Hardwood Flooring company to my friends and neighbors who would have any flooring requests for great installation service with a very competitive price.

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.
