Most people choose a floor based on the color and the feel. But as fitters, we know that the most important part of your new floor is the part you’ll never see. 🛠️
When we pull up an old carpet or laminate, we aren't just looking at the waste, we’re looking at what's left behind by the last person to touch it.
A poor fitting job usually hides three things:
1️⃣ Neglected Sub-floors: Laying expensive new flooring over uneven, un-prepped concrete or floorboards. It might look okay for a week, but it will eventually lead to creaks, cracks, and premature wear.
2️⃣ Crumbling Underlay: Re-using old underlay to "save costs." It’s like putting a brand-new engine in a rusty car - it won't provide the bounce or thermal insulation you’re paying for.
3️⃣ Lazy Edging: If the grippers aren't replaced or the tucking isn't precise, your floor will eventually "creep" and bubble.
At Sullivan's, we don’t just cover up your old floor. We inspect the foundation, prep the sub-floor, and ensure the invisible layers are just as perfect as the top one.
A floor that’s fitted correctly from the bottom up doesn't just look better - it lasts years longer.
Is your current floor feeling "bouncy" or looking uneven? It might be time to see what’s going on underneath.
