Revitalizing Your Floors

Installation and Repair Expertise at Iron Castle Construction

Your floors endure a constant barrage of everyday challenges, bearing the brunt of foot traffic  from bustling families, pets, heavy furniture, and even seasonal weather intrusions like tracked in snow, salt, and humidity that can warp or discolor materials over time. These normal wear and-tear factors—combined with accidental spills, leaky plumbing, or simply the passage of  years—can turn once-pristine hardwood, tile, laminate, or vinyl into uneven, creaky, or unsightly  areas that detract from your home's comfort and appeal. At Iron Castle Construction, we  understand these realities all too well and are able to provide solutions that restore durability  and beauty without adding to your stress.  


Whether your hard surface flooring needs targeted repairs like replacing a cracked tile,  toothing in hardwood flooring where a wall or column was removed, sanding and refinishing  scuffed hardwood, or replacing damaged sections of laminate or luxury vinyl plank, our team  handles it with precision and care. Our flooring expertise centers on installation and  replacement of resilient hard surfaces that stand up to Ohio's demanding climate—ensuring  proper subfloor prep to prevent future issues and finishes that enhance both functionality and  aesthetics. By blending our construction knowledge with a keen ear for your vision, we  transform worn-out floors into reliable foundations that support your lifestyle.

From Foundation to Finish - Our Expert Approach to Flooring Preparation and Installation

At Iron Castle Construction, we treat every flooring project in Chardon and throughout NE Ohio like a strategic mission —we begin by carefully removing the old flooring, then dive into a thorough inspection of the subfloor, hunting for signs of rot from seasonal moisture, uneven spots that could cause  tripping hazards, or loose sections prone to shifting under Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles. If we spot dips or high points, we apply leveling compound and give it ample time to cure for a perfectly even surface; in basements or humid-prone areas, we layer in robust moisture barriers to guard  against dampness, and roll out specialized underlayment to dampen noise and add that subtle  cushioning for everyday comfort.  


Once the groundwork is ready, we move to installation with precision that delivers floors you'll  love walking on—flat and gap-free, with seamless transitions to adjoining rooms and planks or tiles that stay firmly in place without a hint of shift or creak under foot traffic. This stability and  uniform beauty stem directly from our obsessive prep work and accurate techniques, ensuring your new surface handles pets, furniture, and family life with enduring toughness. Specializing in hard surfaces like laminate, vinyl, tile, and engineered hardwood, we also expertly repair  localized damage in existing floors to extend their life without full replacements. Finally, we reinstall baseboards and trim to conceal expansion gaps and polish off the room with a  professional flourish.

Things to Consider

Homeowners often have questions about which flooring works best, how long installation takes, and whether repairs make sense over replacement.

What flooring materials do you install?

We install laminate, luxury vinyl plank, vinyl tile, ceramic and porcelain tile, and engineered hardwood. Each material has different durability, moisture resistance, and maintenance requirements, and we will gladly help guide you based on room use and conditions.

How long does flooring installation take?

Flooring installation varies widely depending on the project's scope, the type of hard  surface material (laminate versus tile which requires drying time for thinset before grouting),  the extent of demolition, subfloor preparation like leveling or repairs, and any unforeseen  conditions in your home. Smaller, straightforward jobs might wrap up in a matter of days,  while more involved repairs or multi-room installations could extend over a week or longer to  ensure durable, high-quality results. We'll assess your specific space during an initial  walkthrough and provide a personalized timeline tailored to your needs.

What happens if the subfloor is damaged?
We replace or reinforce damaged sections before installing new flooring. Ignoring subfloor issues causes the new floor to sag, creak, or fail prematurely, so we address them as part of the prep work.
Can you repair part of a floor instead of replacing it all?
Yes, if the damage is localized and we can match the existing material. We remove the damaged section, prepare the subfloor, and install replacement planks or tiles that blend with the surrounding floor.
Why does moisture barrier installation matter?
Moisture from concrete subfloors or crawl spaces seeps into flooring and causes warping, mold, and adhesive failure. A moisture barrier blocks that transfer and protects your flooring investment.
