What to Expect for Your Flooring Installation with FH Flooring 

When you’re ready to transform your home or business with new floors, it’s natural to wonder what the installation process will be like. At FH Flooring, we’ve helped countless Golden and Denver Metro homeowners and business owners upgrade their spaces with beautiful, long-lasting flooring. To make your experience as smooth as possible, we’ve put together this simple checklist, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your flooring installation. 

Step 1: The Initial Consultation & Estimate 

The first step in any flooring project is choosing the right product for your space. At FH Flooring, we make this easy with our mobile showroom. We bring flooring samples directly to your home or business so you can see how they look with your lighting, décor, and style. 

Checklist for your consultation: 

• Review flooring samples in your space. 

• Ask about which options best suit your lifestyle (kids, pets, high-traffic areas, etc.). 

• Get a detailed written estimate. 

• Confirm the estimated project timeline.

Step 2: Preparing Your Home 

A little preparation goes a long way toward ensuring a smooth installation day. 

Checklist to prepare your space: 

• Remove furniture and personal belongings from the installation area. 

• Take down wall hangings or fragile items nearby. 

• Plan for pets and children to stay out of the workspace. 

• Ask about whether FH Flooring’s team will move larger furniture pieces for you. 

• Arrange for a temporary walking path if the installation is in a high-use area. 

This step helps installers work quickly and safely, reducing the risk of delays. 

Step 3: Installation Day 

On installation day, our crew will arrive on time, prepared with everything they need. The process may vary slightly depending on the flooring type you’ve chosen: 

• Hardwood and Laminate: The subfloor is prepped and leveled, underlayment installed, and planks acclimated for proper fit. 

• Carpet: Old carpet and padding are removed, tack strips installed, and the new carpet stretched into place for a seamless finish. 

• Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Click-lock systems are carefully aligned and cut to fit perfectly against walls and fixtures. 

Checklist for installation day: 

• Confirm arrival time with the FH Flooring crew. 

• Ensure the work area is clear and accessible. 

• Ask about the disposal of old flooring. 

• Be available for questions if needed, but you don’t need to stay on-site the entire time. 

Step 4: Post-Installation Care & Cleanup 

Once the floors are installed, there are a few final steps to wrap up the project: 

Checklist after installation: 

• Walk through the finished project with the installers to ensure satisfaction. 

• Learn the best care and cleaning methods for your specific flooring type. 

• Allow hardwood or laminate time to settle if recommended. 

• Ventilate the area to minimize odors from adhesives or finishes.
