Flooring and tile · San Dimas and nearby

Floors that start below the surface.

A good floor is mostly what's under it. We check the subfloor before we lay a thing.

Classic and quiet. The layout most homes start from.

Under the floor

Prep is where floors succeed or fail.

The finish is what you see. The layers under it decide whether it stays flat, quiet and dry.

  1. 1
    Structure

    Joists or slab. We look for movement, damage and moisture.

  2. 2
    Subfloor

    Flat, solid and clean. Low spots and squeaks get fixed here, not hidden.

  3. 3
    Underlayment or waterproofing

    The layer that matches the finish: sound, moisture or crack isolation.

  4. 4
    Finish floor

    Hardwood, engineered wood, vinyl plank, tile or stone, laid to a layout set before the first piece goes down.

  5. 5
    Transitions and trim

    Where one floor meets another, at doors, stairs and thresholds, so no tripping edge.

Room by room

What works where.

Entry and hallway

Hard, tough finishes handle traffic and grit. Tile and plank are common.

Transitions

Where wood meets stone.

At doors, stairs and thresholds, the edge matters. We plan it before the first piece goes down, so there's no tripping lip and no gap to chase later.

Transitions, trim, cleanup, walkthrough.

Your money

A written price, and changes in writing.

Written price

One fixed-price quote in writing before work starts. No surprise add-on fees.

Down payment, by law

California generally limits a down payment on a home improvement contract to $1,000 or 10% of the contract amount, whichever is less (Business and Professions Code section 7159.5).

Changes in writing

If we find a damaged subfloor, we stop, show you, price the repair, and you approve in writing first.

Flooring questions

Flooring questions, answered.

More answers on the FAQ page, or call (626) 991-8219.

Do I need a permit to replace flooring?

Not for finish work like carpeting in San Dimas. Changes to plumbing, mechanical or electrical do need permits.

Can you install over my old floor?

Sometimes. We check the old floor and the subfloor first. If it's not flat or dry, the new floor won't last.

What if you find a damaged subfloor?

We stop, show you, price the repair, and you approve in writing before we go on.

Who will I talk to?

Dallas or his team will reach out to you directly after you send the form, or call (626) 991-8219 and talk to the owner.
