Trusted Flooring Installation in Kirby, TX

Flooring installation in Kirby usually starts below the floor. Many houses here went up in the decades after the war, and the slab or plywood under them has picked up cracks, dips and old adhesive along the way. We fix that first with subfloor repair, skim coating and patching, then install SPC/LVT plank, laminate or sheet vinyl.

Our own crews handle the prep and the install, and the warehouse stocks the patch, underlayment and trim they use.

Skim Coating and Patching Kirby Slabs Before New Floors

Thin floors show everything under them. A slab with old glue ridges, a crack from years of clay movement or a low spot near the back door will telegraph through sheet vinyl and can make plank rock and click.

Skim coating levels the surface. Patching fills cracks and holes. It is the least exciting part of the job and the part that decides how the floor looks in five years.

  • Old adhesive and residue scraped down
  • Cracks and holes patched
  • Skim coat to level the slab
  • New plywood underlayment where the floor calls for it

LVT Flooring Installation in Kirby Kitchens and Dens

LVT is the floor most Kirby owners end up choosing for kitchens and living areas. It is waterproof, quiet underfoot and comes in wood and stone looks that suit an older ranch house without pretending to be something it is not.

Our LVT flooring installation includes tearing out the old floor, prepping the slab, laying the plank and finishing with baseboards, shoe or quarter round and transitions. Compare LVT and SPC side by side on the showroom racks.

Sheet Vinyl Flooring for Kirby Laundry Rooms and Rentals

Sheet vinyl is still the most water-tight floor you can put in a laundry room or a rental bathroom, because there are few or no seams for water to find. We install glue-down resilient and sheet vinyl flooring with new plywood underlayment, skim coating and patching underneath.

Sheet goods are unforgiving of a rough subfloor, so the prep is most of the job. See how our crews prep and install every floor we sell.

Old Square Tile Hiding Under Carpet in Kirby Houses

Pull back the carpet in an older Kirby house and you may find small square tiles glued to the slab. Tell us before anyone starts scraping. Resilient tile from that era can contain asbestos and should be tested before it is disturbed.

Once that question is settled, the old carpet and pad comes out and gets hauled away, and the slab gets prepped for whatever goes down next.

Not sure what is under your Kirby carpet? Call and we will talk through the prep before we quote the new floor.

Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation for Kirby Homes on a Budget

Vinyl plank floats over a prepared slab, needs no grout and handles water, which is why so many Kirby homeowners on a budget use it in every room but the baths.

Vinyl plank flooring installation through the whole house also means one floor, one color and transitions only where they are needed, like at the bathroom tile.

Laminate Bedrooms to Round Out a Kirby Floor Plan

Bedrooms that stay dry can go laminate for a wood look on a hard surface. Our laminate work includes removal, subfloor repair and trim, same as plank.

For more on laminate and carpet choices, the Converse laminate and carpet page covers both in detail.

Garage Conversions and Step-Ups in Kirby Floors

A lot of older east-side homes have a garage that became a den years ago, often with a slab a few inches lower than the rest of the house. Floors in those rooms need subfloor work to come up to height, or a clean transition and a step if they cannot.

We work out the heights at the estimate, before anything is ordered. Flooring installation in Kirby goes smoother when nobody discovers that step on install day.

FAQ

Kirby Subfloor, Sheet Vinyl and Plank Questions

What Kirby homeowners and investors ask before plank, sheet vinyl or laminate goes down.

Ask us: (210) 227-3300

What is skim coating, and does my Kirby slab need it?

Skim coating is a thin layer of leveling compound that smooths out a rough or uneven slab. Floors like sheet vinyl and plank need a smooth base, so older slabs often need it. We check at the estimate.

Do you install sheet vinyl?

Yes. We install glue-down resilient and sheet vinyl flooring, including new plywood underlayment, skim coating and patching.

I found old square tiles under my carpet. What should I do?

Do not scrape or sand them. Resilient tile from older homes can contain asbestos and should be tested before it is disturbed. Tell us at the estimate.

Is LVT or SPC better for an older slab?

Both are waterproof. SPC has a rigid core that hides small slab dips better, while LVT is more flexible. Either one needs a properly prepped slab underneath.

Can you level a converted garage floor to match the rest of the house?

Subfloor repair and leveling are part of our installation work. Where the height difference is too large to level, we can finish it with a clean transition and step.

Do investors renovating Kirby houses get a discount?

Yes. Home investors and contractors get 10% off, as do commercial accounts, military personnel, senior citizens and repeat customers.

Do you haul away the old flooring?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old floor is part of our plank, laminate and carpet installation work.

When can someone come measure my Kirby house?

In-home estimates run Monday through Friday, and calls and quote requests get a response within one hour during showroom hours.
