This is still one of the worst installs I ever went and looked at. The last two pictures are what it looked like after I took everything up and started over.

Not all contractors are created equally.

New flooring not only changes how your space feels in terms of warmth but also in size. Our recent client wanted something a little easier to maintain than their current carpet. Luxury vinyl plank was the fit for them. Not only can you be sure you are getting all of the dust out, but the protection you get for spills or pet accidents are great too.

Once the carpet was removed, the remove was prepped for the LVP installation. The new flooring not only warmed up the space but it helped the room to feel larger than it was once the furniture was put back in. While we were at it, the baseboards received an upgrade as well.

Illustrious Flooring specializes in the installation of LVP, Laminate and Engineered Hardwood. We also offer dustless tile removal, floor leveling, moisture mitigation, and accent wall installation services.

What's better than getting to help a client out with their flooring project? Taking care of two projects at the same time for them.

Illustrious Flooring was able to transform this Waukesha residents home by installing LVP throughout their entire home and we added an accent wall in the living room. The trim work was updated throughout as well.

With the replacement of the carpet, the home is able to stay cleaner with their dog and frequent visits from their grandkids. While the carpet easily stained and held hair, the LVP can get a quick sweep or damp dust mopping and the contaminants are gone. If one of the grandkids spills something sticky, or some juice, or if Fido has an accident, there's no need to be worried or alarmed. You can simply wipe it up and carry on with your day.

Illustrious Flooring is here to help you complete your home's transformation. We specialize in the installation of LVP, laminate, and engineered hardwood flooring. Other services include moisture mitigation, floor leveling, accent walls, and floor repairs.

Our client wanted to go from standard builder grade stairs with carpet to something that would make them more eye catching upon entering their home. Custom skirting was created for the steps, as well as, adding the white risers to really help make the treads pop. Finally, to bring it all together the landings were installed at a 45 to not only go with the flow of traffic up and down but to just stand out and be a little different.

We think they turned out great. What do you like about them?

Of course we could install your riser on your stairs with the gap beneath it. That’s not how Illustrious Hardwoods solves problems though. Scribing the pattern of the step to the riser and making an extra cut always gets you a better result.

Finding a reliable contractor can be difficult and it shouldn't be. You would expect that a company would be professional just based on the fact that they are in business. Illustrious Hardwoods would like to warn to please use a licensed, bonded and insured company for your safety. Saving a few bucks is not worth it when the project fails and costs two to three times as much to do it over.

Now, more than ever with the advent of click together flooring products, everyone thinks they can install. While I will be the first to admit that installation is the easy part, it is the prep work that matters most and many do not understand what they are getting in to.

The pictures below document a few cases where we have come in and had to completely redo a project. In the first few pictures, the "installer" had absolutely no idea what they were doing. They floor was missing planks in the middle of the install, had weird fill pieces with the grain going the wrong direction, and they didn't even remove the block for the closet door guide after taking up the carpet.

The next project picture shows a piece of luxury vinyl plank with a cork backing that has mold in it. Yes, cork is supposed to be antimicrobial, but when there is that much moisture moving through your concrete slab, it is a great breeding place. Please make sure your installation crew is doing proper moisture testing and using at a minimum a 6 mil plastic v***r barrier. Even better if you go with the slightly more expensive roll on moisture mitigation system. No slab is dry and the biggest problem in Arizona is bad drainage against a home. The water pools up against the slab and absorbs in after a good monsoon rain. Your floor may be find for a few years and then bam, it is failing because you are missing the moisture mitigation aspect.

This set of stairs was done by the builder and would have been fine had they just cut them tight to the drywall and did not caulk the edges but the client was very upset at how bad it looked .We came in, removed everything, installed skirting on the sides, put in new treads with flush mount noses and white risers. The look is so much cleaner and really helps the stairs pop. The flush mount noses also make the stairs easier to use. No caulking was needed when we were done as things were installed tight.

Please do your due diligence when hiring any company and check them out thoroughly. Illustrious Hardwoods is committed to providing you the education you need to make an informed decision whether you choose our company or not. If you would like to discuss your project, please give us a call at 602-888-3361 or send us a message today.
