A professional installer will use the right tools and techniques to get the best results. You can have us empty your room, remove your old flooring, install a new laminate floor, and even put everything back just the way it was, and we do it all safely and with no damage to your home.
Knowledge & Expertise
We have the knowledge and expertise to determine if your floors are still in good condition and to provide advice about when it should be removed and when you can replace it with laminate flooring.
Moisture and Unevenness.
They also want to make sure that the area where the laminate will be installed is free of moisture and unevenness.
Certified Flooring Technicians
Some flooring manufacturers label their product as a “Do it Yourself ” product, but in reality, many times this can lead into a real nightmare for someone who is not familiar with uneven floors, difficult room layouts, and tricky cutting. Richard’s has certified Flooring Technicians that will handle your complete job from start to finish and give you a finished professional look.
Cost Effective
Another reason to hire a professional is that in most cases, your area will be available for use in only a few days as compared to perhaps a week or more if you try to do the complete installation yourself. Of course, the time needed will always vary depending on how large your project is. By having your home or workspace ready for use quickly, having your laminate flooring professionally installed is a very cost effective way to use your time.

Laminate Installation Methods
Depending which laminate product you choose, one of these installation methods will be used:
Glue Method
The glue method is the most time consuming, and the new floor cannot be used until the glue has cured and dried completely. On the plus side, this method produces a very secure and stable floor.
Glue Less Method
Modern technology has given us a quality product that now can simply be snapped together. This is the easiest and fastest method of installing laminate flooring, but this process should still be put in the hands of a professional, like Richard’s Flooring.
Rotate & Click Method
To attach laminate flooring planks together using the rotate and click method, attach one plank of flooring to another at an angle, and then rotate down. Repeat this process for all planks. The panels are easy to assemble, simply click the panels into place and slide them in the desired position.
Horizontal Insertion Method
The horizontal insertion method is good for locking panels in place that are difficult to install. It works particularly well in corners and under door jams..
Slide & Click Method
This is a good method for doing installation of planks. Just need to slide a plank down and then click it into place. It’s a simple process, and it can save a lot of time.
The Process Of Laminate Installation
Project Estimation
Before taking on any job, the Richard’s Carpet + Flooring specialists will examine your property to determine the scope of work, and we’ll tell you what products are needed, how they’re applied and when it’s appropriate to use them. You’ll have all the necessary information to make the right decisions for your project.
Preparation Of The Sub-Floor
The laminate installer that Richard’s sends to your job site will inspect the subfloor to make sure that it isn’t uneven, damaged, or dirty. We will make it perfect for laminating. Before installing, we will level the floor to make sure the laminate lays perfectly, thus eliminating the chance for unsightly cracks or joints to show.
Underlay installation
In the next step, an underlay will be installed. The underlay helps in protecting the floor from moisture. It also reduces the noise generated by people walking on it.
Laminate floor laying
Laminate floor installation can sometimes be quite a messy project, but as part of Richard’s complete installation service, we always clean up properly and make sure your area looks beautiful.
Finishing touches
Once the laminate is installed and the flooring is finished, the finishing touch is to add laminate molding and trimming to make the room look seamless and beautiful.
Quality Laminate Floor Installation
The ultimate goal is to provide the finest flooring to all of our customers. We strive to be as thorough as possible, and our installation process includes a 72-hour adjustment period.

Some other flooring installation contractors will rush installation in a single day.

Rest easy when you choose the experts at Richard’s Flooring to give you the first class professional installation that you deserve.
