The step that determines how your new floor performs
A new floor is only as good as what it's installed over, and in Greater Las Vegas Area that almost always means a concrete slab. Before any flooring installation begins, we remove the old flooring, haul it away, and get the slab itself into a condition that won't undermine the new material - because a floor installed over a moist, uneven, or contaminated slab will fail regardless of how good the material is.
This is also the stage where we find problems the old flooring was hiding - hairline slab cracks from foundation settling, moisture intrusion near exterior walls or old pool leaks, or adhesive residue from a floor installed a decade ago that has to come up before anything new can be glued down.
What our demo and prep crews handle
We scope demolition and prep as its own line item at your estimate, so you know exactly what's being removed and what the slab needs before new material is ordered.
- Tear-out and haul-away of existing carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate, or vinyl
- Slab moisture testing, required before hardwood or certain adhesives can be installed
- Self-leveling underlayment where the slab has low spots or old thinset ridges
- Adhesive and mastic removal left behind by previous flooring
- Minor crack repair and patching ahead of new material
Special Financing Available*
*Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See design consultant for details.
View financing optionsWhy slab moisture testing matters here
Concrete slabs can trap moisture from the ground even in a bone-dry climate like ours, and installing hardwood or certain adhesives over a slab that hasn't been tested is one of the more common causes of a floor failing within its first year. We run a calibrated moisture test before recommending engineered hardwood or glue-down products, and adjust the installation method or add a vapor barrier when the reading calls for it.
Scheduled to keep your project moving
Demo and prep are the most disruptive part of any flooring project, so we schedule them tightly against your installation date rather than leaving a torn-up subfloor sitting for a week. This is also the phase we handle most often for commercial flooring clients who need a space demolished and prepped after hours.

Floor Demolition & Prep - frequently asked questions
Yes - we recommend it before every engineered hardwood or glue-down installation, since a slab that reads high in moisture needs a vapor barrier or a different installation method to avoid the floor failing later.
We tear it out and haul it away as part of the demo scope, so you're not left with debris to dispose of yourself. If any of the removed material is salvageable, we'll flag that at your free estimate.
Yes, self-leveling underlayment is a standard part of our prep process wherever a slab has low spots or old thinset ridges left from a prior installation - it's essential for a flat, even result once your new tile or luxury vinyl plank goes down.
Yes, this is one of the most requested pieces of our commercial flooring work, since most businesses need old flooring removed and the space prepped overnight or over a weekend to avoid closing during business hours.
