Flooring Installation in Towson, MD
Flooring installation in Towson for rowhouses and older single-family homes, including LVP over uneven subfloors and new floors where the original hardwood is past saving.
Flooring Installation in Towson
Many older Towson homes still have original hardwood under carpet, and the first question is often whether to refinish it or cover it. Where the old floor is past saving, or in kitchens and basements, LVP is the usual choice. Rowhouse floors can run out of level from one end to the other, so we check with a long straightedge before quoting.
Towson runs to brick rowhouses from the 1920s through the 1950s, pre-war Tudor and colonial single-family homes, and postwar colonials and ranchers. Before we quote, we pull a vent or a section of base to see what is under the carpet. Rowhouse stairways are narrow and often turn, which limits how long boards and rolls of underlayment can be carried upstairs. Older floors can also run out of level, and the fix has to happen before new flooring goes down. Working one floor at a time lets a household keep a usable level while the job is underway.

Flooring questions from Towson homeowners
Should I refinish the hardwood under my Towson carpet or replace it?
It depends on how many times it has been sanded, how much damage there is, and whether boards are missing. We pull up a corner of carpet during the estimate and tell you honestly whether the floor is worth saving or whether new flooring makes more sense.
Can LVP go over an uneven rowhouse floor?
Yes, once the dips and humps are corrected. LVP needs a flat surface or the locking joints can separate. We check with a straightedge and quote any leveling as its own line before you approve the job.
What does flooring cost in Towson?
Typical installed ranges are $6 to $10 per square foot for LVP, $5 to $8 for laminate, $9 to $14 for engineered hardwood, $10 to $16 for solid hardwood, and $10 to $18 for tile. Removal, leveling, and stairs are listed separately in the written estimate.
