Installing floors in Orangevale homes
Orangevale grew out of the Orange Vale Colony of the 1890s and still has the large lots of a farm town: many properties are zoned for orchards and horses. 80% of its 14,108 homes were built from the 1950s to the 1980s.
77% of homes are owner-occupied and 80% are single-family houses. Typical jobs here: carpet and old sheet vinyl out, LVP or engineered oak in, sometimes over a raised wood subfloor.
Homes built before 1981 get an asbestos test on old vinyl tile and black adhesive before anything is pulled up; the result is in the quote before work starts.
Orangevale is unincorporated, so Sacramento County rules apply and replacing a floor covering needs no permit. Summers pass 100°F on about 21 days a year.
Orangevale flooring questions
Do I need a permit to replace flooring in Orangevale?
No. Orangevale 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 Orangevale?
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 Orangevale 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.
