Installing floors in Carmichael homes
Carmichael is one of the older suburbs we serve: half of its 33,117 homes were built in the 1960s and 70s and another fifth before 1960, going back to Daniel Carmichael's Colony No. 1 of 1909.
Older houses mean more raised wood subfloors, original oak under carpet, and sheet vinyl over black adhesive. We check what is there at the measure, and anything from before 1981 is tested for asbestos before removal.
Nearly half of Carmichael homes are rented. LVP with a 12 mil wear layer is a solid rental floor; owners replacing carpet in a 1960s house often choose engineered red or white oak.
Carmichael is unincorporated, so Sacramento County rules apply, and replacing a floor covering needs no permit. Summers pass 100°F on about 20 days a year.
Carmichael flooring questions
Do I need a permit to replace flooring in Carmichael?
No. Carmichael is unincorporated, so Sacramento County issues permits, and the county follows the California code that exempts painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work. Replacing a floor covering falls under it.
How much does it cost to install 1,000 sq ft of flooring in Carmichael?
With our rates and carpet coming out: about $7,090 for LVP, $7,320 for laminate and $13,160 for engineered hardwood, including material, installation, baseboard, transitions, haul-away and delivery. 2,000 sq ft of LVP replacing builder tile runs about $19,880. The final number comes from the measure.
Do you remove the old floor?
Yes. Carpet and pad, sheet vinyl, LVP and laminate come out at $0.50 per sq ft; tile is $3.50 per sq ft. Haul-away is $150 per truckload of about 600 sq ft.
How much do I pay up front?
Nothing on the website. For installation, California caps the down payment at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, and the rest is paid as work is done.
Is LVP a good idea with Carmichael summers?
Yes, if it is rigid-core and installed with the expansion gap the maker specifies. Floors next to big west- or south-facing glass get the most heat; shades help any floor last.
