Your Complete Guide to All American Flooring's Consultation and Installation Process

New flooring is one of the most impactful ways to change the look and feel of your home. The right flooring sets the tone for comfort and function. For many homeowners, the journey from idea to installation can be overwhelming. When you have to deal with measurements, budgeting and contractors, it can be even more stressful.

That’s where we stand out.

We have over 35 years of experience and a customer-first approach, which means a seamless process from start to finish. From the initial consultation to installation and beyond, our team will make sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Preparing for Your Flooring Consultation

A little preparation for your consultation will go a long way. These steps will help you get the most out of the experience.

Measure Your Space

Your measurements don’t need to be perfect, but simple length-by-width estimates help our flooring consultant to create an accurate estimate for pricing and quantities.

Customers often worry that improper measurements will complicate the project. Our consultants will perform precise measurements during the installation preparation phase. The initial dimensions help with cost expectations and estimation.

Set a Realistic Budget

Flooring options can vary in price depending on material, durability and installation needs. Having a budget in mind helps our consultant to recommend the best products that fit in your price range without overwhelming you.

We know that many homeowners fear upselling or hidden costs. At All American Flooring, we prioritize transparency and walking you through everything that factors into pricing. From materials, underlayment, transitions and cost of labor, we inform you so there are no surprises.

It’s important that you consider not just the initial costs but also long-term maintenance and lifespan. Sometimes spending more leads to decades worth of dependability.

Design Decisions

We’d love to see what you're envisioning so we can help bring your ideas to life. Be sure to save any photos of designs you like, swatches of the room's paint color if possible and even styles that you don’t like.

We will help you refine your choices and show you examples based on what you show us. Even if you're unsure of your style or overwhelmed by choices, inspiration gives us a clear starting point, and we can go from there.

Consider Your Lifestyle and Needs

We offer flooring products with different structures that fit a variety of lifestyles.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you have kids or pets?
  • Will this be a high-traffic area?
  • Do you prefer low-maintenance options?
  • Are spills or moisture a concern (kitchens, basements, bathrooms)?

All American Flooring's Installation Process

Once your materials arrive and your installation date is scheduled, the next phase begins.

Here’s what to expect:

Pre-Installation Preparation

We will confirm the schedule and review any last-minute questions. Before our installers arrive, you can remove valuable or fragile items and unplug electronics. We can help with any large furniture that needs to be moved.

When our team comes to install the flooring, we will arrive on time, in uniform and ready to work.

Removal of Old Flooring

We will carefully remove any old flooring and dispose of any debris. Then we will prepare the subfloor for a smooth installation.

A stable subfloor ensures long-lasting results. We will check for dips or humps, water damage, squeaky boards and concrete cracks. Any necessary repairs are made before installation begins.

Flooring Installation

Depending on your flooring type, we will perform some of these steps during the flooring installation process:

  • Laying moisture barriers
  • Installing underlayment
  • Aligning boards or tiles
  • Making precision cuts
  • Applying adhesives
  • Stretching carpet using professional equipment

Our focus is always on accuracy, appearance and structural integrity.

Cleanup and the Final Walkthrough

Before leaving, we will thoroughly clean the workspace area and perform a final inspection with you to ensure satisfaction. We treat your home with respect so it’s ready for you as soon as we're finished.

After the Installation

The experience doesn't end once we leave. We will continue to offer our support after your new floors are installed. We even have an extended warranty that lasts after installation. Additionally, your product will come with a warranty that varies depending on your flooring type.

Review Care Instructions and Maintenance Tips

Each material has its own care guidelines. We will explain the proper cleaning tools and safe products to use. Using the right products will increase the longevity of your floors.

Continued Customer Support

If you have any questions after the installation, we are just a phone call away.
