Replace Floors That Show Every Step

Professional flooring installation in Pollok, Lufkin, and surrounding areas in East Texas for homeowners dealing with worn surfaces, uneven boards, or outdated materials that no longer hold up.

If your floors creak when you walk across them, show water stains near doorways, or have gaps between planks that collect dust and debris, the flooring has reached the end of its functional life. Older homes in Pollok or Lufkin often have original flooring that has been patched or covered multiple times, and underneath those layers the subfloor may have settled or warped from years of humidity and foot traffic. Duff Remodeling and Construction handles flooring installation in Pollok or Lufkin by removing old materials, preparing the subfloor to ensure it is level and dry, and installing new flooring that can handle daily use and the humidity common in East Texas.

Flooring installation is often part of a larger remodeling project, but it can also be done as a standalone service if the rest of the room is still in good condition. The work involves pulling up old flooring, inspecting the subfloor for damage or unevenness, and making any necessary repairs before new flooring is installed. In Pollok and the surrounding area, homes built on pier and beam foundations sometimes develop subfloor issues that need to be corrected before any new surface can be laid down properly.

Subfloor Work That Prevents Future Problems

The installation process in Pollok or Lufkin starts with removing the old flooring to expose the subfloor underneath. If the subfloor has low spots, soft areas, or squeaks, those issues are fixed before new flooring goes down. Leveling compound is applied where needed, and any damaged sections of plywood or planking are replaced so the new surface has a stable base. Flooring materials are selected based on durability and suitability for the East Texas climate, which means options that resist moisture and hold up under constant use.

Once the flooring is installed, you will notice a surface that does not flex or make noise when you walk on it, seams that line up evenly without gaps, and transitions between rooms that sit flush without tripping hazards. Flooring installed over a properly prepared subfloor will not develop squeaks or settling issues after a few months, and it will stay level even as the house shifts slightly with seasonal humidity changes.

The work is coordinated with any other remodeling tasks so flooring is not installed until dust-generating work such as drywall sanding or painting is finished. This prevents new floors from getting scratched or covered in debris before the project is complete. Debris from old flooring is removed daily, and the work area is cleaned so you can move through the house safely while the installation is underway.

Homeowners in Pollok, Lufkin, and surrouning areas often ask practical questions about flooring materials, subfloor condition, and how long the installation will take before they can use the rooms again.

You Probably Have These Questions

What flooring materials hold up best in East Texas humidity?
Luxury vinyl plank, tile, and engineered hardwood resist moisture better than solid hardwood or laminate, which can warp or buckle when exposed to humidity over time. These materials are also easier to clean and maintain in homes with pets or high foot traffic.
How do you know if the subfloor needs repair before installing new flooring?
Soft spots, visible sagging, or squeaking when you walk across the floor are all signs that the subfloor has issues. Once the old flooring is removed, the subfloor is inspected and any damaged sections are replaced or reinforced before new flooring is installed.

Why do floors in older Pollok or Lufkin homes sometimes feel uneven?

Homes built on pier and beam foundations can develop settling over time, which causes the subfloor to dip or slope slightly. Leveling compound or additional support is added during the installation process to correct these issues before the new flooring goes down.
How long does flooring installation take for an average-sized room?
Most single rooms take one to two days including subfloor prep and installation, though larger areas or homes with multiple rooms can take up to a week. You will have a timeline before work begins so you know when the space will be usable again.
What should be done with old flooring after it is removed?
Old flooring is hauled away as part of the installation process so it does not sit in your yard or garage. The work area is cleaned daily to keep dust and debris from spreading through the rest of the house.
