Flooring Types We Install
Different flooring products offer different combinations of appearance, durability, installation requirements and cost. HIL installs several popular flooring types for home improvement and renovation projects.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
LVP is a versatile flooring option available in a wide range of wood-look styles and finishes. HIL provides professional LVP installation with careful layout, fitting and finishing around walls, doorways and transitions.
Prefinished Hardwood Flooring
Prefinished hardwood provides the appearance and character of real wood with the finish applied before installation. Careful layout, fitting and installation help produce a consistent finished floor.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate provides the appearance of wood in a durable floating-floor system. Proper preparation, layout, expansion spacing and fitting are important to achieving a clean finished installation.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood combines a real-wood surface with a layered construction designed for dimensional stability. Installation requirements depend on the flooring product, subfloor and manufacturer's specifications.
Professional Flooring Installation
A successful flooring installation begins before the first board or plank is installed. Existing conditions, the subfloor, room geometry and the flooring manufacturer's requirements all affect the finished result.
Existing Flooring & Preparation
Existing flooring may need to be removed before installation depending on the new flooring system and existing conditions. The exposed subfloor should then be assessed for cleanliness, condition and suitability for the selected flooring.
Transitions & Finishing
Transitions, thresholds and related finishing details help create a clean connection between rooms and different flooring surfaces. Baseboard or trim work can also be coordinated where required.
Layout, Cutting & Fitting
Careful layout helps establish consistent board or plank placement through the room. Flooring must be accurately cut and fitted around walls, doorways, closets and other room features.
Final Cleanup
Once installation is complete, the work area is cleaned and the finished flooring is reviewed before the project is completed.

Why Choose Hardy Industries for Flooring Installation?

Preparation Matters
Existing flooring and subfloor conditions are reviewed so installation requirements and potential preparation work can be identified before the new floor is completed.
Attention to the Details
Layout, cuts, transitions, doorways and finishing details all contribute to a flooring installation that looks complete and works with the surrounding space.

Flooring Installation FAQs
What types of flooring does Hardy Industries install?
HIL installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate, prefinished hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring. The appropriate installation method depends on the flooring product, subfloor and manufacturer's requirements.
What happens if the subfloor needs work?
The subfloor should provide a suitable surface for the selected flooring. If preparation, repairs or leveling are required, those conditions should be identified before installation and addressed as part of the project scope where appropriate.
How do I get a quote for flooring installation?
Contact Hardy Industries with the approximate flooring area, flooring type and information about the existing floor. Photos, measurements and project details can help us understand the scope and determine the next steps.
Does the existing flooring need to be removed?
It depends on the existing floor and the requirements of the new flooring system. Some projects require removal of the existing flooring so the underlying surface can be assessed and properly prepared.
Can flooring be coordinated with trim or other home improvements?
Yes. Flooring projects can be coordinated with HIL trim, interior design and other handyman services when additional finishing or home improvement work is required.
