Durable Floors Built on Properly Prepared Subfloors

K&R Construction and More installs LVP and tile flooring in Decatur for residential and commercial spaces that need water resistance and long-term durability.

When your flooring in Decatur is worn, water-damaged, or no longer suits the way you use the space, replacing it with LVP or tile can restore both function and appearance. You need a floor that holds up in high-traffic areas, resists moisture, and does not require constant upkeep.

K&R Construction and More installs luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, entryways, and commercial spaces. The team focuses on subfloor preparation to prevent future cracking, separation, or buckling. Each installation is backed by a three to five year workmanship warranty and begins with a free estimate that includes material options, square footage calculations, and timing.

If your floors need replacement and you want a surface that lasts without requiring frequent maintenance, contact K&R Construction and More in Decatur to schedule a consultation.

How Subfloor Prep Affects Long-Term Performance

The installation begins with removal of existing flooring and inspection of the subfloor. In Decatur, where older homes often have uneven wood subfloors or concrete slabs with moisture issues, the team levels surfaces, replaces damaged sections, and applies moisture barriers before new flooring is installed. Clean lines are maintained throughout the project to limit dust and debris.

After the flooring is installed, you will notice a surface that is level across the entire room, with seams that are tight and transitions that sit flush with adjacent flooring. LVP provides a softer feel underfoot compared to tile, while tile offers greater impact resistance and heat tolerance.

The scope includes subfloor inspection and repair, moisture barrier installation, LVP or tile layout and installation, grout application for tile, and transition strips. The team also handles baseboard removal and reinstallation if needed, and works with both residential and commercial clients where durability and code compliance are required.

We Make Sure You Know What to Expect

These are the questions homeowners and business owners in Decatur ask most often before scheduling a flooring installation, answered with information that reflects how the work is actually done.

How long does flooring installation take?
Most residential flooring projects take two to five days depending on square footage, subfloor condition, and whether furniture must be moved. Commercial projects may take longer due to layout complexity and business hours.
What happens if the subfloor is uneven or damaged?
The team inspects the subfloor after removal of old flooring. If unevenness, rot, or moisture damage is found, those areas are leveled, repaired, or replaced before new flooring is installed.
Why does tile installation require extra time compared to LVP?
Tile must be set in thinset mortar, which requires curing time before grout is applied. Grout also needs time to cure before the floor can be walked on or cleaned.
What is covered under the warranty?
The three to five year warranty covers workmanship issues such as improper subfloor prep, separation, buckling, or grout cracking. It does not cover damage from impact, flooding, or failure to follow care instructions.
What should I do to prepare before installation?
Remove all furniture, rugs, and items from the floor. Clear a path from the entry to the work area, and plan for limited access to the space during installation and curing time.
