Northglenn is a short run for us on the north side. We install luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile, hardwood, and stair flooring, and we remodel bathrooms from the subfloor up.
Northglenn is unusually uniform. It was developed as a planned community starting in the late 1950s and most of the city went up in a fifteen-year window, which means block after block of the same handful of ranch and split-level plans with the same framing, the same crawlspaces, and the same original oak strip flooring.
That consistency is genuinely useful. We can quote a Northglenn ranch accurately from a plan we have seen before, anticipate where the subfloor tends to loosen, and know what is likely under the carpet before we pull a corner. It also means the same problems recur: sixty-year-old subfloor fasteners working loose, and floors that have taken on a slight roll from decades of settling.
Original hardwood turns up often here and is frequently worth saving. Homes this age were built with solid three-quarter-inch oak, and where carpet went down early the wood underneath can be in remarkable condition.
The newer eastern edge near Fox Run adds some 1980s and 1990s two-story construction, but the character of the city is postwar and it dominates the work.
Water-resistant, wood-look flooring that holds up to pets, kids, basements, and Colorado's dry winters without the seasonal gapping you get with solid wood.
A cost-effective way to replace worn carpet across a whole floor, with modern styles and clean transitions between rooms.
Entryways, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, set over a properly prepared substrate so the grout lines stay where they belong.
New hardwood installation, plus honest assessment of whether the original oak under your carpet is worth refinishing instead.
Treads, risers, and nosing that match the floor they connect to, which is the detail most people notice first and most installers rush.
Shower surrounds, shower pans, niches, tub areas, vanities, fixtures, and the finish trim that makes the room look finished.
PLACEHOLDER — Orlando: describe one real Northglenn job. Neighborhood, what the home was like, what you installed, anything that made it tricky. Two or three sentences. This is the only thing on the page a competitor cannot copy.
Yes, and the right time is while the old covering is off and the subfloor is exposed. Squeaks in homes this age are usually sixty-year-old nails that have worked loose against the joists. Screwing the subfloor down properly costs very little when the floor is already open and is nearly impossible to do well afterward.
Frequently yes. Homes from that period were built with solid three-quarter-inch oak, which has plenty of thickness for several sandings. Where the carpet went down early the wood underneath is often close to original condition. We check thickness at a vent before recommending either way.
It makes the quote more accurate and usually a little tighter on material, because we can plan the layout with less waste when we already know the plan. It is one of the practical advantages of a planned community.
