thank you all for responding. we are planning the same, remove all carpet (except for closets) & put down flooring, and i learned so much about the process. luv my village neighbors!:icon_wink:

I had my entire home, including closets and bathrooms, refloored with vinyl planking. They took two days but estimated it would take three. Ripping out the old flooring went quickly and they began putting down the new flooring on the first day. They removed the toilet in the guest bathroom on day one. Then a plumber reseated both of them on the second day.

Earlier this year we had LR, DR, Kit, Hall, Bath & UR replaced with Luxury Vinyl from Roberto's. A crew arrived early AM, worked all day and came back the next AM for a couple hours to finish. Then schedule a cleaning lady to come in and clean the house the next day (nice touch). I do not like 1/4 round, so they removed all the molding and reinstalled it, calked and touched up the paint. Because the new flooring does not go as high up your walls as carpet, I gave them the correct wall paint and they went around the walls before reinstalling the moldings and painted.
They moved and replaced all the furniture. Suggested we get some felt pads at the hardware store and they installed them on all the furniture legs to avoid any future scratches. We could have given them the keys to the house and come back the next day to a completed job. The work was all done in a very professional manner and could not be told from new.
We are extremely pleased with their work and just went back yesterday to discuss a new remodeling project.

We took out carpet in all three bedrooms and put new flooring in but also took out of closets and ran flooring in there as well. So glad we did that.

We had the tile removed in the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, hall, and guest bathroom. Since we were replacing it with LVP, they took up all the tile, then installed all the LVP, since it was the same for the entire area. You need to ask your question, when you are out looking for whatever you are putting in your rooms.

Had Floor Masters.
2 days 3/2 +lanai. 2 guys in house. 2 in lanai. Moved everything from room to room. Replaced everything and cleaned up everywhere.
Very pleased with the operation.

pdp07, what exactly did the cleaning person do?

And what type of flooring did you have replaced?

thanks!
