Flooring Installation in Harlingen, TX

• —A floor swap on its own does not usually need a permit in Valley cities. If the job grows into moving a wall or a bathroom, that changes. We check Harlingen requirements at your address.
• —If your Harlingen home sits in a park or an association, there may be a rule about hard floors. We ask for that in writing before any material is ordered.

Which homes has David Aceves helped build?

There is original wood under our Harlingen carpet. Refinish it or cover it?

Pull a corner and look before you decide. If the boards are sound and thick enough to sand, refinishing is usually the cheaper and better floor. If they were stapled through, patched in places, or cut around old registers, covering makes more sense. We check the thickness and the fasteners during the estimate and give you both numbers.

The rooms in our 1950s Harlingen house are small. Does that raise the labor?

Yes, and it is worth knowing before you compare bids. A thousand square feet split into eight small rooms takes longer than the same area in three big ones. Every doorway is a cut, a transition and a decision about direction. We price by the real layout rather than by a flat rate per square foot, so the number holds.

The new floor is thicker than the old one. What happens at the doorways?

We deal with it at the estimate, not on install day. A thicker floor can leave a lip at a doorway. That lip is what a walker or a toe catches. Depending on the room we undercut the jamb, plane the door, or use a low profile transition. Interior doors sometimes need a small trim at the bottom, and we say so in advance.
