Renovations
The process of a home renovation will change from reno to reno depending on the scope of work. A full home renovation will look much different than a kitchen renovation which will look different from a bath renovation.
Are walls being removed or moved around, are cabinets being replaced or refinished, is there any concern of asbestos in existing flooring?
Those are only a few examples of things to consider when doing a home renovation. Unlike a new build, existing materials structure need to be taken into consideration as they will heavily influence the options available throughout the renovation.
When it comes to the flooring portion of your renovation, we’ve got you covered. We do a large amount of renovation and restoration work and therefore can provide you with the answers to questions you didn’t even know to ask 😊
The process of a renovation will look similar to a new build in the sense that we suggest bringing in any existing finishes that will not be changing in the space (cabinet colors, countertops, paint colors ect), and we will select from there. Some things to consider when doing a renovation when it comes to your flooring:
Flooring Heights
What is the thickness of the flooring being removed? All baseboards, doorjams and toekicks are set to the height of the current flooring. If the flooring height changes, this can leave you with a paint line, gapping under your door jams and toe kicks. There are ways around this such as: building up your flooring to the same height as before, painting your walls, getting new baseboards with a wider profile.
Baseboards
Cabinetry
Is the layout of the cabinetry changing? Does the flooring run under the cabinets? (With any floating flooring install, we do not recommend the flooring run under the cabinets)
Railings
Working around existing railing installation can be tricky, depending on how the railing has been originally installed.
Plumbing
Plumbing fixtures such as toilets need to be removed for the removal and install of flooring.
