48 Months Special Financing — No Interest if Paid in Full in 48 Months!*A simple, step-by-step guide to your flooring project, plus a free checklist to get your home ready.
New floors can change the way your whole home looks and feels. But if you have never had flooring installed before, it is normal to have questions. How long will it take? Do you need to move out? What should you do before the installers arrive? This guide walks you through the full process, from your first estimate to your final walkthrough.
A design consultant brings large samples to your home, so you can see them in your own light. They measure every room and give you a clear, all-inclusive quote.
You pick your flooring and schedule your install date. Many in-stock products qualify for next-day installation.
On installation day, the crew moves furniture and removes your old carpet, tile or vinyl. Dust containment helps keep the rest of your home clean.
Most Phoenix homes are built on concrete slabs. Installers check that the slab is clean, dry and level, and fix any low spots or cracks.
Your new floors go down room by room, followed by baseboards, transitions and trim.
The team cleans up, moves your furniture back and walks through every room with you to make sure you are happy.
Timing depends on the size of your project and the type of floor. Carpet and vinyl plank flooring are usually the fastest to install, and a few rooms can often be finished in a single day.
Tile flooring takes longer because each tile must be set and grouted, and the setting materials need time to cure. Removing old tile and leveling the slab can also add time. Your Floor Daddy consultant will give you a clear timeline during your estimate.
Usually not. Most families stay home during installation. You will just need to stay out of the rooms being worked on. For tile projects, plan to keep foot traffic off fresh grout for the time your installer recommends. If you have pets, a quiet room or a day at a friend's house keeps them calm and safe.
A little preparation helps installation day go smoothly. Use this checklist to get ready. Tick each item as you finish it.

Even the best flooring can fail if it is installed poorly. Uneven slabs lead to cracked tile and gaps between planks. Missing expansion space can cause vinyl or laminate to buckle in the Arizona heat. A professional crew prepares the floor correctly, uses the right materials and stands behind its work.
At Floor Daddy, installations are handled by licensed, insured, in-house installers and backed by a lifetime labor guarantee.
Removing old flooring, especially tile, can create dust. Professional crews use containment and clean up when the job is done.
Carpet and vinyl plank can usually be walked on right away. Tile needs time for the grout to set, so your installer will tell you when it is safe.
