Kitchen floor problems we fix in Warrenville
New flooring changes how a kitchen feels underfoot. Our Warrenville 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.
Soft or bouncy spots
Soft plywood near the sink is a common find under old flooring. It is replaced, not covered.
Uneven or sloped subfloor
A floor that rolls under your feet needs flattening before any new material. We check it with a straightedge and correct it.
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.
Cracked or curling sheet vinyl
Old sheet vinyl that is torn by the fridge, curling at the seams or stained near the sink is pulled up and replaced, with the subfloor checked underneath.
Several layers of old flooring
Stacking another floor on old layers raises the height at the dishwasher and the doorway. We take them up instead.
Wood floor damaged by water
Cupped or dark boards by the sink and fridge mean water got under them. We replace the damaged area or the whole floor with a more water-tolerant material.
Squeaky floor
The best time to fix a squeak is when the floor is open. We fasten loose panels to the framing so the new floor is quiet.

Kitchen Flooring Installation questions from Warrenville homeowners
Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof?
Most rigid-core LVP is highly water-resistant on the surface, but water can still get under it at the edges, so spills should be wiped up.
What affects the cost of a kitchen floor?
The material, the size of the kitchen, tear-out, subfloor repair and how many transitions there are. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
How long does kitchen flooring installation take?
Plank floors are usually quick; tile and hardwood take more time, and subfloor repairs add a day or so.
Do I need an underlayment?
Plank floors need underlayment; tile needs a backer or membrane; condos may require sound-rated material.
Should flooring go under the kitchen cabinets?
It depends on the floor. Floating plank goes to the cabinets; tile and wood can run under them.

Garbage hauler is Groot (630-892-9294). Bulk items over 50 lb: first item free, additional items 5 stickers each. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
