"I just had all the hardwood floors refinished in my whole house and I couldn't have found a better company to do them! The best of the best! From my first talk with Scott Schneider on the phone I knew he was a professional and I was in good hands. They asked how I wanted the floors to look, gave me opinions and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out. My floors are absolutely beautiful! Also, I was very impressed with their work ethic--always on time and hard at work with the best attitudes. I thought the price was very reasonable too. Really couldn't be more satisfied!"

"John responded quickly and cheerfully to my original inquiry. He arrived promptly to take a look and make an estimate. We agreed on a price and a date. On the project date, John arrived about 10 minutes early which I loved since my previous experiences with other people make me question their ability to tell time. John was very efficient and finished about thirty minutes earlier than he had estimated. Getting home projects done is an anxiety ridden experience for me and John made it less so."

"For the most part, I was happy with Mario's work. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was the oven was higher than the counter about a quarter inch while the back of the oven is flush with the counter. Before the kitchen floor was replaced with laminates, the entire oven was flush with the counter, and the reason was the laminate was installed under the front legs of the oven where the floor was bare before that caused the oven front to be elevated."

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.
