"Sid's employee installed my hardwood floor a couple months ago. After having several issues with it bubbling up and caving in over the last several months, I ripped up a baseboard and noticed there was absolutely no room for expansion left between the floor and the wall - it butted right up against the wall very firmly. The same was done around the fireplace but I assumed they'd just forgotten about it there since the installer did pencil a line on the board to cut around the fireplace...but didn't cut it. I'll have to rip up all the baseboards and cut the floor around the wall so it can expand and contract like a wood floor does. Very disappointed that I'll have to replace a couple boards because of this, cut the boards, and redo baseboards."

Family owned & operated, majority of work is by customer referrals. Two employees, no criminal records or use of sub contractors. Owner is on the job site. Cost determined by the job. We do not have a showroom because we prefer to pass on the savings to our customers by keeping our overhead low. Quality Wood Flooring offers installation of wood flooring and also refinishing of existing floors. We can also provide and install Luxury Vinyl Products. We can provide the raw material with job site install and/or finishing. We also can provide pre-finished flooring, or you can provide the material and we install it. We prefer not to show color samples when bidding the job site finished flooring, instead we show the stain colors on your floor after sanding, in your lighting, to get the true custom color you desire. We are a member in good standing of the Better Business Bureau. We service the entire St. Louis and Metro east area. Free estimates over the phone, or in person, if you are within 50 miles. We are insured and most of our business is from word of mouth. We book up quickly, so please try to contact us as soon as possible to get on our schedule. We try to accommodate our customers as much as possible, and will work some weekends to fit people in, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee to be available for you, unless you give us adequate notice. We can be booked up at least a month in advance, but schedules change, and can be adjusted, so do not be afraid to call, and we will try and accommodate you.

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.
