Tampa, FL Flooring Installation by Sears Handyman

Home flooring plays a large role in the look and feel of your home. Sometimes, due to wear or significant damage, your flooring will need replaced. It could be that you may just want to update the look of certain areas of your home.

If you need new or updated home flooring, whether you're interested in hardwood, vinyl, or laminate, you can rely on Sears Handyman technicians to handle the installation of your chosen materials. Once you know the flooring style you prefer, a Sears Handyman will take care of the hard work of installing your new hard flooring.

Hardwood flooring adds style and sophistication to your kitchen, hallways, and family gathering areas. The problem? Hardwood flooring can be difficult to install for many homeowners, and it usually requires the experience of someone who has worked extensively in home repair and home improvement.

Installing hardwood flooring usually involves a variety of steps to complete effectively, including removing current flooring and base molding, cleaning the subflooring, installing vapor barriers, and correctly installing the floorboards and new base molding to ensure that the flooring is securely in place.

For many homeowners, installing hardwood flooring on their own can take the better part of one or more weekends, especially with other obligations, and others feel like they wouldn't know how to install hardwood flooring correctly.

When you're too busy or aren't sure how to make your hardwood flooring vision a reality, contact the technicians at Sears Handyman for assistance. Our staff has years of experience in home improvement projects and can tackle tough flooring installation projects that will make your home look great.

Laminate flooring is a synthetic flooring material that closely resembles wood, stone, or tile, based on a buyer's preference. Aesthetic appeal attracts many homeowners to laminate flooring. Several layers of composite material form laminate flooring, with the top layer being a high-quality photograph of the material the flooring reproduces, making it an excellent simulation. Laminate flooring appeals to homeowners not only for its beauty, but also its durability - laminate flooring resists fire, scuffing, and water damage. It is also easier to clean and care for than actual hardwood, making it great for homes with families and pets. Homeowners can save significantly on the cost as well: laminate flooring is typically two-thirds cheaper than the material it resembles.(1)

For durable, resilient flooring that makes any room look great, laminate flooring is a great option. Many homeowners find flooring installation too time consuming and troublesome to install on their own. When you need professionals to install your next flooring project, you can rely on a Sears handyman. Our trained, licensed staff are happy to discuss installation options and can schedule an appointment that's convenient for you.

Vinyl flooring derives from polyvinyl chloride, a chemical that forms the basis of many plastics. Used in a variety of products and materials, vinyl has been used in flooring since the 1930s. Relatively cheap and easily cleaned, vinyl flooring is often found in hospitals and laboratories.

Vinyl has also become a common flooring option for homes and apartments. Cheap and easily maintained, vinyl flooring comes in a variety of colors, designs, and styles. When you need assistance with flooring installation, count on a Sears handyman. Our technicians can discuss vinyl flooring installation options with you and provide a cost estimate based on the installation project you have in mind. (2)

Tile flooring and backsplashes can vastly improve the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Tile flooring and backsplashes come in multiple styles, and not only do they look great but they also act as an effective flooring material for rooms where water spillage is possible or likely. Due to the grout sealant between tiles and the non-absorbent nature of tile itself, tile floors have good resistance to water damage.

If you need tile replacement or installation, Sears Handyman can help. Some homeowners don't feel comfortable performing the intricacies of tile installation themselves, which include preparing your current flooring by leveling out high and low areas and smoothing imperfections, installing the appropriate sub-floor or backer board, laying the tile, grouting, finishing the grout, and then applying the grout sealant to prevent water from reaching the floor.

Professional handymen can help when you need tile repaired, installed, or replaced. Give your local Sears Handyman Services location a call. A representative will be happy to talk you through our service process and arrange a service call convenient to your schedule. Once your appointment has been arranged, you'll have a new tile floor or backsplash in no time.
