Flooring
Laminate flooring installation is laying click-together laminate planks as a floating floor over underlayment on a flat subfloor. AKA Remodeling provides laminate flooring installation and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) installation in Greenville, SC and within about 100 miles, with subfloor leveling, moisture barriers where needed and trimmed transitions between rooms.
Scope
Click-together laminate and luxury vinyl plank floated over underlayment on a flat subfloor, with moisture barriers where the slab calls for them and transitions trimmed between rooms.
Process
The same order every time, so you always know which trade is in the house tomorrow.
01
Rooms, doorways and stairs counted — transitions move the price.
02
Whether the plank is rated waterproof decides where it can go.
03
Old floor out, subfloor flattened — the seam-tightness decision.
04
Pad, or a vapor barrier under it where the manufacturer requires one.
05
Planks racked and locked, expansion gaps left, trim reinstalled.
Why us
01
Standard laminate is not a bathroom floor unless its maker rates it waterproof. We say so before you buy it.
02
Every material goes down the way its maker specifies — that is what the warranty is written against.
03
You get the plan before demolition and a review of the next day’s work at the end of each workday.

Good to know
Are you supposed to put anything under laminate flooring?
Yes. Laminate floats over an underlayment pad, and over concrete the North American Laminate Flooring Association calls for a 6-mil vapor barrier as well. Some planks come with pad attached, so the manufacturer's instructions decide whether more underlayment is allowed.
Is laminate or LVP better for kitchens and bathrooms?
LVP is the safer choice for bathrooms and kitchens because its vinyl-based core is not damaged by water. Standard laminate has a wood-based core and is not suited to rooms with excess moisture unless the manufacturer rates it waterproof.
How much does it cost to pay someone to install laminate flooring?
Removal of the old floor, subfloor leveling, stairs and the number of doorways and transitions change the price more than the planks themselves.
