Commercial flooring in Kemp, TX

Waterproof rigid core plank and tile, in that order. A Kemp lake house takes wet feet off the dock, sand off the boat and dogs through the back door, and many sit closed up midweek while the humidity swings. Solid wood gaps and cups under that. We put waterproof product where the water comes in and save wood or engineered for interior rooms that stay conditioned year round.

Yes, but the subfloor comes first. Older Kemp farmhouses and manufactured homes over a vented crawlspace usually need joists checked, loose decking screwed down and dips leveled before anything goes over the top. Skip that and a floating floor telegraphs every soft spot within a year. We put that prep in the written estimate rather than springing it on you the morning of the install.

We do, at no charge, and we bring the samples with us. Kemp is a straight run south from our showroom at 10 Mustang Court in Forney. Seeing a floor next to your own cabinets, in the light coming off the lake, beats guessing from a photo. Once you approve the estimate we can usually start within about two days, and financing is available through Synchrony and Wisetack.

Rarely for the whole job. Most commercial work is phased, so one zone is closed and worked while the rest of the space trades normally, or the whole thing runs after hours and across a weekend. What sets the schedule is usually adhesive cure time and how much furniture has to move, not the installation. Tell us your quietest days and the sequence gets built around them.

Wear layer thickness and core density, not the image printed on it. A plank sold for houses may carry a light wear layer over a soft core, while product built for commercial traffic runs a heavier wear layer on a stiffer core so caster wheels leave no track. The warranty says the same thing in writing: check what class of use it covers and for how long.

It has to be handled as one until it is tested. Cutback adhesive of that era can contain asbestos, so it is never sanded or ground, and the safest route is usually to encapsulate and cover rather than remove. Testing is done by a qualified party, not by us, and the result decides the method and the timeline.
