How to Prep Your Home for a Flooring Installation at Altitude

A smooth installation starts before our crew arrives. Here's how to prep your Lone Tree or south-metro home so your project runs on schedule - and what we take care of so you don't have to.

What We Handle

Our crew moves the large furniture, removes and disposes of the old flooring, and preps the subfloor - leveling and any repairs needed for a flat, lasting result. You don't need a dumpster or to move the heavy stuff.

What You Can Do Ahead of Time

  • Clear small items, breakables, and electronics from the rooms
  • Empty closets if their floors are being replaced
  • Take down wall art near the work area
  • Plan a quiet spot for pets away from the crew
  • Keep a clear path and parking near the entry for material loading

Why Altitude and Dry Air Matter

This one's Colorado-specific: new hardwood and laminate need to acclimate to your home's actual indoor humidity before installation. In our dry, high-altitude climate, skipping that step is the most common cause of gapping later. We'll advise on running a humidifier during the driest months to keep your new floor stable.
