Tile Removal and Floor Prep in San Francisco, CA

Tile removal is heavy, dusty work, and floor preparation is where a hard-surface project either succeeds or fails. Once the old floor is off, the subfloor has to be flat enough for whatever goes down next, and large format tile in particular demands a flatter surface than most people expect.

Hardline Surface Co. handles removal and preparation across San Francisco, CA, including self-levelling compound where the substrate needs it. Skipping this step is how tiles crack, corners lift and grout lines fail within a year of a job that looked perfect on completion.

Floor preparation is the line item people cut to save money and it is the one that causes the failures. If a quote has no preparation in it, the honest question is what happens if the floor turns out not to be flat, because that cost does not disappear, it just arrives later.

Tile Removal And Floor Prep FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tile Removal and Floor Prep

Questions we hear most often about Tile Removal and Floor Prep in San Francisco, CA.

Talk to a real person
What wear layer do I need for luxury vinyl plank?
12 mil for bedrooms and low traffic, 20 mil for pets, children and entry halls. Total plank thickness is not the number that matters, and a thick plank with a thin wear layer scratches within a year.
Do I need underlayment over a concrete slab?
You need a moisture barrier. Concrete passes vapour continuously even when it reads completely dry, and skipping it is how floors cup and adhesive fails months after a perfect installation.
What is the difference between SPC and WPC core?
SPC is rigid and handles an imperfect subfloor better. WPC is softer underfoot and quieter. Since very few subfloors are genuinely flat, SPC is the safer choice more often than not.
How long does a tile installation take in San Francisco, CA?
Longer than any other floor, because setting, curing and grouting each need their own time. We give you a day-by-day schedule at the measure rather than a single optimistic number.
Can you match my existing tile?
Sometimes. Discontinued lines are the usual obstacle and dye lots vary even within a current product. We will look before promising anything.
