Floor removal & demo in McLendon-Chisholm, TX

Nobody sets out to buy floor removal. It shows up on the estimate, it is not the part of the project anyone was picturing, and it is the line that decides whether the new floor sits flat and stays flat. What you are paying for is a substrate that is clean, sound, dry and level enough for whatever goes on top of it. Installed by our own crew across McLendon-Chisholm.

Built for McLendon-Chisholm homes.

McLendon-Chisholm was two places before it was one. McLendon was settled around 1870 on land held by P.A. McLendon, and Chisholm sits on ground the Chisholm brothers bought in 1856. They incorporated together on October 18, 1969 to protect their rural lifestyle through zoning, and it held for a long while: 914 residents in 2000, 3,562 in 2020. Then Sonoma Verde platted 1,095 lots across 550 acres off Via Toscana. We work two kinds of house here, often in the same week, and they need different flooring.

McLendon-Chisholm exists because two settlements decided to stay rural. McLendon and Chisholm incorporated together in 1969 specifically to preserve their large-lot way of living through zoning, and the town held at 914 people in 2000 and 3,562 in 2020, which is slow by Rockwall County standards. The housing that came out of those decades is custom: homes generally ten to forty years old, 2,000 to 4,000-plus square feet, on lots from half an acre to more than two.

Custom houses are not template jobs. Nothing is a standard dimension. Hallways run wide, rooms are out of square, and additions were built onto the original slab years later at a slightly different elevation and often over a different subfloor. We shoot elevations at every doorway before quoting so the transitions get designed in rather than improvised on the last afternoon. The stairs and trim in these houses were built by hand, and a floor that dies into them badly is the thing you will look at for the next twenty years.

Then there is Sonoma Verde. It is a 550-acre master plan platted for 1,095 lots between 7,200 and 20,000 square feet, with Highland, Perry, Bloomfield, CastleRock and Megatel all building in it. Same city, completely different work: fresh slabs, repeating floorplans, and builder-grade carpet upstairs that owners start replacing within a few years. Because the plans repeat, we can usually tell you what is under the carpet before we lift a corner of it.

Access is the other local factor. State Highway 205 and FM 550 are the two spines, with City Hall out at 1371 West FM 550, and many of the acreage properties sit at the end of long private drives. We work out how the material reaches the door before the truck rolls instead of carrying boxes a hundred yards in August. The upside of acreage is space: we can set up a cut station outside and keep the dust out of your house entirely. The city has also set aside 50 acres for its first major park, so expect more traffic on those roads over time.

McLendon-Chisholm FAQs

Floor removal & demo in McLendon-Chisholm, questions

Our house is on two acres at the end of a long private drive. Is that a delivery problem?

No, but we plan for it. We walk the drive during the estimate and decide whether the truck can reach the house or whether we shuttle the last stretch. Acreage properties out here actually make the job cleaner, because there is room to set up a cut station well away from the doors and keep the dust and noise outside the house.

Does a Sonoma Verde house cost less to floor than an older custom home?

The material does not change, but the labor can. Sonoma Verde floorplans repeat, so measuring and layout go quickly and there are few surprises. Older custom homes off FM 550 and Highway 205 have out-of-square rooms, hand-built stairs and additions poured at a different elevation, and all of that takes longer to do properly. We quote each house on what it actually is.

We are building new in Sonoma Verde. Should we use the builder's flooring or yours?

Either works. If you want something past the builder's standard package, it is often cleaner to take the base allowance and have us do the floors after closing. We bring samples to you, offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, and our own crew does the install with nobody subcontracted. Call (972) 564-5533 and we will talk through the timing around your closing date.

Can you install the new floor over the old one instead of removing it?

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.

How much dust will there be, and can we stay in the house?

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.

Our house is from the 1970s and has nine-inch tiles. Is that asbestos?

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.
