Kitchen floor problems we fix in Bolingbrook
New flooring changes how a kitchen feels underfoot. Our Bolingbrook installers help you choose between LVP, tile and wood, handle the tear-out and subfloor work, and put the fridge and range back when the floor is done.
Dishwasher trapped by the floor
A new floor that's too tall can trap the dishwasher. We run the flooring under it or shim the opening as needed.
Floor stops at the cabinets — or runs under them
Floating floors like LVP go up to the cabinets, not under them; tile and nailed wood can run under or stop at the toe kick. We plan it with your future remodel in mind.
Cold, hard tile underfoot
We can install radiant floor heat under new tile, or recommend LVP or wood for a softer, warmer feel.
Uneven or sloped subfloor
Humps and dips telegraph through vinyl plank and crack tile. We grind high spots and fill low ones with patch or self-leveler.
Cracked floor tile
Broken tile and crumbling grout often come from a floor that flexes. New tile goes over a stiffened, flat base.
Cracked or curling sheet vinyl
Torn vinyl and lifting seams collect dirt and let water under. We remove it and lay a floor made for kitchens.
Squeaky floor
Loose plywood rubbing on nails makes the noise. We re-secure it with screws before the new floor goes down.

Kitchen Flooring Installation questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Do you move the appliances?
We do. Appliances come out before tear-out and go back in when the floor is finished.
Can you match the floor in the next room?
We can often continue the same wood or plank into the kitchen, or choose a floor that meets it with a clean transition.
LVP or tile in the kitchen?
LVP is warmer, softer and quicker to install; porcelain lasts longer and resists scratches better. Tile needs a stiffer subfloor.
Can new flooring go over the old floor?
Over one sound layer of vinyl, plank flooring can work. Over loose, cushioned or multiple layers, it has to come up.
How long does kitchen flooring installation take?
LVP in an average kitchen often takes one to two days; tile usually takes longer because of setting and grouting time.
