Unlike typical flooring companies or one-man operations, Footprints Floors isn’t focused on selling you products—we’re dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. Many other companies require you to buy flooring directly from them to use their installation services, limiting your options and potentially guiding you toward choices that may not suit your needs. At Footprints Floors, we install any flooring material you want, regardless of where you purchased it. This approach allows us to remain unbiased and genuinely focused on helping you choose the best solutions for your unique situation. We offer a comprehensive range of services including hardwood installation, wood floor refinishing, tile installations, backsplashes, bathroom remodels, carpet, sheet vinyl, exterior flooring, and more. Because we handle all types of flooring, we’ll never steer you away from refinishing an existing floor or combining different flooring types throughout your home. We have strong relationships with various reputable vendors such as Floor and Decor, ProSource, Shaw, Coretec, and others. This means we can assist you in sourcing materials at discounted prices, and we even offer pick-up and delivery directly to your home, further simplifying your project. Our commitment extends beyond just installation. My production manager visits your job site daily to ensure quality standards are consistently met. We’re dedicated to completing your project efficiently, showing up every day—including weekends—until the job is done to your satisfaction. In short, at Footprints Floors, we’re not just in the flooring business; we’re in the customer service business, dedicated to making your flooring project smooth and stress-free.

"Astounding work! I had a wooden parquet floor with water damage. Every other contractor I spoke to insisted that I couldn't possibly match the flooring and would have to redo the entire floor (which extends through the entire condo unit). Glowry Flooring insisted they could patch the damage and match the floors, and did so in well under a day."

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.
