Floor Removal & Demo in Kirkersville, OH

- Subfloor inspected for leveling, repairs and moisture
- Careful cleanup and a final walkthrough
Glued vinyl, tile and old laminate
Glued-down sheet vinyl and adhesive residue are the slow ones. The adhesive has to come off, not just the vinyl, because a new floor bonded or floated over old adhesive will telegraph every ridge of it.
Ceramic tile over a slab is heavy, dusty work and the thinset underneath usually needs grinding flat afterwards. We tell you when a room is a tile tear-out job, because it changes both the timeline and the amount of disruption in a way that is unfair to discover on the day.
Handover to the install
The subfloor is left clean, dry, flat and sound, and the new floor goes down on a deck that has been prepared for it rather than one that has been tolerated.
That is the whole point of doing this properly. Everything visible about a floor is decided by the part of it nobody will ever see again.
Built for Kirkersville homes.
Kirkersville was platted in 1832 by William C. Kirker and named for him, and it sits along the South Fork of the Licking River about nine miles from us. The 2020 census counted 471 residents — the village peaked at 626 in 1980 and has been slowly shrinking since. Small village, old houses, and floors that are usually being replaced for the second or third time. We bring samples to the house.
A village this size and this old has essentially no new construction, so every job here is a replacement in a house that has had floors in it before. That has a consistent pattern: layers. Carpet over vinyl over the original deck is common, each one added rather than the last one removed, and the accumulated height means casings, thresholds and door bottoms all have to be dealt with when it finally comes out.
The practical advantage of a village this small is that we can do the whole job in one go rather than in stages. Most Kirkersville houses are a few rooms plus a stair, and that is a project we can price properly at one visit and complete without the house being disrupted for a week.

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.
