Floor removal & demo in Combine, TX

Yes, and the subfloor is usually the real job. Manufactured homes are decked in particleboard or thin OSB that swells permanently once it gets wet, so soft spots around the tub, toilet or back door have to be cut out and replaced with proper sheet material before anything new goes down. Skip that step and the new floor telegraphs every weak patch within a year.

We will. Combine is one of our closest towns, our showroom is at 10 Mustang Court in Forney, a short run up the road. The estimate is free and we bring samples to the house so you can see them in your own light. We'll also check that a delivery truck can get down the drive, which matters more out here than people expect.

Grit is what kills floors out here, not water. Sand tracked in off a gravel drive acts like sandpaper underfoot, so we steer toward a thicker wear layer, a rigid-core LVP or a tile with a harder surface rating, rather than a soft-finished wood at entries and traffic lanes. Pair it with a decent mat at every exterior door and you'll double the life of the floor.

Occasionally. A floating floor can go over sound, fully bonded tile in some situations. What stops it more often is height. Every inch you add changes door swings, thresholds, the transition into adjoining rooms, the clearance under a dishwasher and the fit of a refrigerator into its opening. You also inherit whatever is wrong with the old floor, flatness and cracks included.

With containment set up properly, most families stay. We build plastic barriers at the openings, seal the registers and returns in the work zone so nothing travels through the ductwork, and grind with vacuum attached at the tool. Expect noise, and expect the work zone off limits during the day. Demolition done without any of that is what people mean when the dust never seems to end.

It might be, and it should be tested rather than guessed at. Nine-inch tile and black cutback adhesive were both common then, and either can contain asbestos. Intact and covered, they are not a hazard. The risk comes from grinding or sanding them dry. We sample and test before anything is disturbed, and a positive result goes to a licensed abatement firm before we return to prep and install.
