What's included
- Existing floor lifted and hauled away
- Standard furniture moving included
- Subfloor inspected for leveling, repairs and moisture
- Careful cleanup and a final walkthrough
Carpet and cushion
The easiest removal and the one that most often reveals something. Carpet and pad lift quickly; the tack strip around the perimeter comes up with them, and the staples left in the deck have to come out rather than be flattened.
It is also where old pet damage shows itself. If moisture has been through the pad into the subfloor, we would far rather find it with the room empty than seal it under a new floor and have it find you later.
Leveling and repair
Where a subfloor is out of tolerance we level it — self-leveling compound over a slab, patching or sheeting over a wood deck, grinding down a high spot. Where a panel has failed or a joist has moved, that gets addressed as its own repair and we tell you what it involves before we start.
We explain the moisture readings too, in plain terms. A high reading is a specification decision, not a disaster, but it is one that has to be made before the material is on site.
Built for Hilliard homes.
Hilliard exists because of a railway. John Reed Hilliard bought farmland in 1852 and platted the town on 1 September 1853 around a station on the Piqua and Indiana Railroad, which made it a good shipping point for produce. It grew 823.4% through the 1960s and another 105.4% between 2000 and 2010, reaching 37,114 at the 2020 census. Old Hilliard is the original; the rest arrived in two waves of subdivision.
The growth came in two clear waves, and knowing which wave your house belongs to tells us most of what we need. Three large residential subdivisions in the 1950s produced 823.4% growth through the following decade. Then Interstate 270 was completed in the early 1970s and set off a second wave, with a further 105.4% rise between 2000 and 2010. The 2020 census counted 37,114 residents.
Old Hilliard along Norwich Street is the exception to both — a genuine mix of residential architecture from the town's early period, with the settled decks and individually-measured staircases that go with houses of that age.

Why does subfloor preparation matter?
New flooring performs best over a clean, dry, stable and properly prepared surface. We inspect the subfloor and explain any leveling, repairs or moisture concerns before installation begins, rather than covering a problem up.
