Key facts
- Supply and install, or install-only for flooring you already bought
- Moisture testing and subfloor leveling on every job
- Furniture moving, removal and haul-away
- Installed to manufacturer instructions to protect your warranty
Most flooring failures have nothing to do with the product. Peaking vinyl, cupped hardwood, cracked tile and squeaky floors almost always trace back to rushed installation. That is why Paradise Spaces treats installation as a craft. Whether you buy from our in-house discounted catalog or bring your own flooring, our crews do it right the first time across Dallas Fort Worth.
Our installation process
- Free estimate: we measure, check the subfloor and moisture, and talk through your goals.
- Product and layout: we confirm the product, plank direction, transitions and stair details.
- Preparation: furniture moving as agreed, removal and haul-away of old flooring, subfloor repairs.
- Testing: moisture readings on slabs and wood subfloors where the product requires it.
- Leveling: grinding, patching or self-leveling compound to meet flatness tolerances.
- Installation: to manufacturer specifications, with proper expansion space, adhesives and underlayment.
- Trim and transitions: baseboards, quarter round and thresholds.
- Walkthrough: we review the work with you and leave care instructions.
The technical details that protect your floor
- Flatness: most floating floors need about 3/16 inch over 10 feet; large format tile needs flatter. We measure with long straightedges and lasers.
- Moisture: concrete slabs are tested before wood or laminate; we choose vapor barriers and adhesives based on readings. Read why slab moisture testing matters.
- Expansion space: floating floors need room to move; we never pin them under cabinets or islands.
- Acclimation: we follow each manufacturer's acclimation rules.
- Subfloor fixes: squeaks and loose plywood are screwed down before new flooring goes in.

Install-only service
Already bought flooring? We install it. Before we start, we check that the product suits the room and subfloor and that you have enough material, typically 5 to 10 percent extra for cuts, and more for diagonal or herringbone patterns. Read how to measure a room for flooring.
Choosing the right floor for each room
Waterproof luxury vinyl and porcelain tile for kitchens, baths and laundry rooms; hardwood, laminate and carpet for living areas and bedrooms. We recommend based on moisture, traffic, pets and budget, not just looks.
Clean, respectful crews
We protect your home during the work, keep work areas tidy, haul away debris and communicate clearly if anything changes.
What drives the price
Flooring type, square footage, the amount of subfloor leveling, removal and disposal of old flooring, furniture moving, stairs, trim and transitions all affect cost. Leveling is the most variable item in DFW homes, so we measure flatness during the estimate rather than guessing.
Living through installation
Most installs happen while you live at home. Plan where pets will stay, empty closets if their floors are included, and remove fragile items from shelves near the work area. We keep a clear path open and tidy up at the end of each day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install flooring I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We offer install-only service after confirming the product suits your room and subfloor.
Do you move furniture?
Yes, we can move standard furniture as part of the job. Electronics, valuables and fragile items should be moved beforehand.
How long does installation take?
Most rooms take 1 to 3 days. Whole homes, tile and site-finished hardwood take longer.
What if my subfloor is uneven?
We level it with grinding, patching or self-leveling compound. It is the most important step for a long-lasting floor.
Will installation affect my warranty?
Installing to manufacturer instructions protects your warranty. That is our standard on every job.
How much extra flooring should I order?
Usually 5 to 10 percent for straight layouts and more for diagonal or herringbone. Keep a box of spares for future repairs.
