Flooring in Fate, TX

There is almost no old housing stock in Fate. The typical home here is between two and twenty years old and sits on roughly a seventh to a third of an acre, which shapes the work two ways. First, nothing is worn out. People are replacing builder-grade carpet and thin vinyl because they chose to, not because it failed, so the finish standard has to be higher than a rescue job. Second, the lots are tight and the houses are close together, so we settle where the material drops and where the cut station goes before day one rather than assuming there is a side yard to work in.

What is on these floors is predictable. Carpet through the bedrooms and up the stairs, a thin click or glue-down vinyl in the wet areas, and often a tile entry or a tile ring around the kitchen. The most common request in Woodcreek, Monterra and Williamsburg is to pull all of it and run one surface across the entire first floor. Removing tile is the part people underestimate. It is the demo, then grinding the thinset back to a flat slab, then re-cutting door jambs, base and toe kicks for the new height. We price that into the estimate instead of bringing it back as a change order.
