Why You Should Always See Flooring Samples Inside Your Home?

You want to make sure the floor will rock the lighting. There’s no getting around it: Lighting in your home is going to look different than in a showroom.When you hold a flooring sample in your space, your specific collection of lighting will hit the sample just as it would your future floor.
Color samples allow you to coordinate with walls and furniture. It is important to coordinate the floor’s color and tone with existing walls and furniture. By placing a floor sample beside a painted wall, you can determine if they are a good complement. Holding the samples up to cabinetry and window treatments can give you insight into what will work. Also, try the samples against your couches, chairs and end tables.
Physical samples give you a necessary, sensory experience of the floor’s texture.

Moving Furniture and Appliances

We move most furniture for you. Whether we are installing hardwood, laminate, vinyl as well as carpeting, we will move your furniture and place it back.

Please move all personal belonging, valuable items, loose/breakable items as well as computer equipment/electronics, etc.
For extremely heavy or unusual items (e.g. granite tables, pool tables, grand piano, etc), it’s best to have a professional moving company
We don't move antique items, books, grandfather clocks, weapons, etc.
We don't move antique items, books, grandfather clocks, weapons, etc.
If the item requires disassembly – such as a bedframe – an additional fee may apply.
Royal Home will not remove oversized appliances from the installation area, so homeowners should make alternate moving arrangements as needed.

Removal and Haul Away Your Existing Floors

Royal Home will remove your old floors which can be a time consuming process depending on the job specifications. For example, removing an old wood floor may be faster than removing a floor full of tile and grout, or a glued down floor. Our installation crews are equiped with the tools necessary for tough jobs. Sometimes when we move your old floors, patching, leveling and, or skim coating might be necessary for a perfect installation. Royal Home will haul your old materials either to a dumpster located on the job-site, or bring it to our facility.

Toilet Reset

The preferred practice is for the toilet flange to sit on top of the finished floor, whether the floor is wood, vinyl, or laminate. Our crew will remove and reset your toilet. Whenever we remove a toilet, we will replace the wax ring seal between the toilet and the toilet anchor flange (sometimes called a closet flange) attached to the floor. If your toilets reset requires plumbing knowledge, you will be notified by our installation crew to hire a plumber before we start the installation of your new floors.

Padding and Underlayment

Underlayment

Underlayment is the layer between your subfloor and your new floor. Underlayment is usually made out of rubber, cork, rubber cork, felt or foam. Some floors come with an attached underlayment, otherwise we will provide your with a separate underlayment. Here is why we install underlayment underneath your new floors:

Minimizes the hollow sound caused by foot traffic
Provides support for your flooring
Protect your floors from moisture
Reduces transmission of impact sounds
Increases the longevity of your floor

Carpet Padding

A carpet pad is a thick layer of material that serves as a foundation for installing carpets. It comes in a variety of materials, thicknesses, and sizes. Here is why you need carpet padding:

Extends carpet life
Provides more comfort
Improves acoustics
Provide heat and sound insulation
Increases the longevity of your floor

The Royal Home flooring installation professionals and contractors are licensed, insured, and undergo a thorough background-screening process.
