Floors That Look Clean and Feel Solid

Flooring in Gulfport takes constant wear from foot traffic, humidity swings, and the occasional water intrusion that leaves vinyl curling or hardwood cupping along the edges. You notice it when tiles crack underfoot, when laminate planks start to separate, or when the floor feels spongy near the bathroom. Gerard Construction LLC installs and repairs common residential flooring types, starting with subfloor prep and ending with trim that sits tight against the baseboard. The difference shows in how level the surface is and how long the finish holds up without gaps or buckling.

The work includes installing hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, and tile, as well as repairing sections damaged by water, settling, or worn underlayment. In Gulfport, subfloor condition is often the deciding factor in how well new flooring performs, so the crew checks for soft spots, replaces rotted plywood, and levels uneven areas before laying anything down. Flooring installation also involves coordinating transitions between rooms, cutting around door casings, and matching the height of adjacent floors.

If your floors need replacing or you are dealing with damage that is spreading, reach out to discuss what makes sense for your home in Gulfport.

A flooring project in Gulfport starts with removing the old material, inspecting the subfloor for damage, and making any necessary repairs before the new surface goes down. You will see the crew pull up baseboards, check joist spacing, and use a straightedge to identify high and low spots. If the subfloor is uneven, they will add shims, sand down ridges, or install a leveling compound depending on the flooring type and how much variance exists.

Once the subfloor is prepped, underlayment goes down for cushion and moisture protection, and the flooring is installed row by row with expansion gaps left at the walls. You will notice how flat the finished surface sits and how cleanly the seams line up. Properly installed floors do not have lippage between planks, gaps that catch debris, or squeaks that develop within the first few months.

Gerard Construction LLC coordinates with trim installation so baseboards cover the expansion gap without pinning the floor, installs transition strips where flooring types meet, and hauls away old materials at the end of the job. The service does not include moving heavy furniture or appliances, but it does include cutting around doorways and built-ins. The questions below cover what most homeowners ask before starting a flooring project.

People usually want to know how long the installation will take, whether their subfloor needs repair, and which flooring types hold up best in humid climates like Gulfport.
