Why it is in our price
The most common way a flooring quote goes wrong is that it covers the material and the labor to lay it, and nothing else. Then the old carpet comes up, the subfloor is not what anybody assumed, and the number changes on a day when the furniture is already in the garage.
We do it the other way round. We look under the existing floor at the in-home appointment where we can, we talk through what removal and preparation the house is likely to need, and we put it in the project price. Standard furniture moving and existing-floor removal are included on most projects.
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.
Built for New Albany homes.
New Albany was founded in 1837 in the center of Plain Township and incorporated in 1856, but nearly everything visible now dates from the 1990s onward. The population went from 414 in 1980 to 10,825 at the 2020 census, up 40.3% in that decade alone, and the median home value is $494,600. It is a high-specification town, and the flooring expectation matches.
The numbers that matter for a flooring conversation are the median household income of $203,194 and the median home value of $494,600. Houses at that level are specified rather than furnished, and the expectation is that the flooring will be too. Wider planks, better underlayment, stairs finished properly, transitions that are designed rather than picked off a shelf. That suits how we work, because the parts we insist on — subfloor preparation, individually measured stairs, a proper cushion — are exactly the parts that show at this end of the market.
Most of the housing is recent, which means engineered joists or slab and open-plan layouts. Flatness is the thing to get right: a continuous plank run across a large open floor reveals every deviation in the deck below, and on a wide-plank specification it shows more, not less, because a wider board bridges further. That check happens before the material is ordered.

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.
