What's included in demo and prep

Dust and debris control

Tear-out can be messy, so we cover vents, seal off doorways, and vacuum as we go. Ask us about dust protection for your home.

Dust and debris control

Subfloor leveling

Older Piedmont homes often have slight dips and humps. Leveling them before installation prevents gaps, squeaks, and hollow spots, especially for tile and vinyl.
