CTI Renovations also installs new hardwood flooring, including removing old flooring or carpeting, preparing for the installation of a new hardwood floor. First and foremost we take into consideration the location of the new floor, whether or not it is in the basement or on a subsequent floor in the hoe and if we need to add underlayment with sound dampening properties, some contractors may just lay a paper underlayment which will not dampen noisy footsteps. Unlike other flooring installation companies, we remove the surrounding base molding and allow for a ΒΌ inch of expansion space for the floor to move according to the weather, this eliminates the possibility of the floor from buckling. After the floor is installed, we replace all the surrounding base moldings.
