Flooring Installation
Smooth Subfloor Prep for Long-Lasting Floor Installation
All Star Home Services installs vinyl plank, tile, laminate, and hardwood flooring in Davenport with attention to surface preparation and durability.
Flooring that is installed over uneven subfloors develops gaps, creaks, and wear patterns that show up within months of installation. In Davenport, where basements stay damp and older homes settle over time, proper subfloor prep prevents these issues and keeps new flooring looking clean and feeling solid underfoot. All Star Home Services installs durable flooring options designed for everyday use and foot traffic, handling the prep work that makes the difference between floors that last and floors that fail early.
This service includes vinyl plank flooring, tile flooring, laminate flooring, and hardwood installation. Flooring upgrades are frequently bundled with kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodels, and material choices consider moisture, pets, and seasonal temperature changes. Free estimates help you compare flooring options and project timelines, and the team works around your schedule to minimize disruption during installation.

Your project in Bettendorf begins with templating, where the crew measures cabinets, walls, and appliance locations to create a precise pattern for cutting the countertop. If you are installing undermount sinks or cooktops, cutouts are marked and confirmed before fabrication. The team checks that base cabinets are level and adds shims where needed so the countertop sits flat without rocking or gaps.
Once the countertop is installed, you will see seams that are nearly invisible unless you look closely, edges that overhang evenly without variation, and cutouts that fit tightly around sinks and fixtures. The surface sits flush with backsplash tile, and there are no gaps where water or crumbs can collect along walls or corners.
The crew secures the countertop to base cabinets using brackets or adhesive, depending on material type and cabinet construction. If your project involves removing an old countertop, the team disconnects plumbing and lifts out the old surface before installing the new one. This service does not include plumbing work, but All Star Home Services coordinates timing with plumbers if your project involves replacing sinks or faucets at the same time.
Why Subfloor Prep Matters More Than the Material Itself
Homeowners want to know how material choice affects daily life
Before scheduling flooring installation in Davenport, homeowners typically ask about material durability, moisture resistance, and how long they need to stay off the new floor.
What flooring holds up best in high-traffic areas?
Vinyl plank and laminate resist scratches, dents, and moisture better than traditional hardwood, making them ideal for kitchens, hallways, and entryways. Tile is the most durable option but feels harder underfoot and can be cold in winter.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most rooms are completed in one to two days, depending on size and whether subfloor repairs are needed. You can walk on vinyl plank and laminate immediately after installation, but tile requires a day for mortar to cure before foot traffic.
Why does flooring creak or feel soft after installation?
Creaking happens when the subfloor is not level or when fasteners are not properly set. Soft spots indicate moisture damage or insufficient support beneath the subfloor. Addressing these issues during prep prevents problems later.
What happens if my basement floor gets damp?
Vinyl plank is the best choice for basements because it resists moisture and does not warp or swell like laminate or hardwood. The crew installs a vapor barrier under the flooring to block moisture from seeping up through the concrete slab.
How do you match new flooring to existing rooms?
The team brings samples to your home so you can compare colors and textures in your actual lighting. Transitions are installed where new flooring meets existing surfaces to create a clean edge without abrupt height changes.
