Vinyl That Works in a Decatur Bungalow

Houses around Oakhurst, Winnona Park and Medlock were built long before anyone worried about flat subfloors. Boards have dipped, doorways sit out of square, and rooms rarely line up the way a plank floor would like. Vinyl copes with that better than most floors, as long as what is underneath is put right first. Where you still have hardwood floors in Decatur worth saving, we will say so. Where the wood is gone, patched, or in a kitchen that has been rebuilt twice, LVP gives you a floor that looks right and does not mind water.

We install vinyl and LVP across Decatur, from a single room in a rented bungalow to a whole ground floor in a renovation. Faust Flooring does not sell flooring, so we are never steering you toward a product we need to shift. You buy it, we lay it, and you pay us for the installation only.

Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile Installation

Luxury vinyl tile looks like stone or ceramic, luxury vinyl plank looks like wood, and either will outlast the room it goes in when it is laid properly. In an older Decatur house the work that matters happens before the first plank: flattening the subfloor, dealing with the soft patch by the back door, and checking the height still works with doors and thresholds hung decades ago.

Once you have chosen a color, we set the room out before anything goes down. Old houses are rarely square, so we work out where the pattern starts, where the cut pieces land, and how the floor meets the hall, so the finished job does not advertise the fact that the walls run out by half an inch.

Our Vinyl Installation Options in Decatur

We install four types of vinyl for Decatur homes and businesses. If you are weighing up which one suits the room, we will talk it through at the free visit.

VCT Installation

VCT is the plain, tough tile used in schools, churches and back rooms. It costs little by the square foot, it takes constant traffic, and a damaged tile lifts out and is replaced on its own.

In Decatur we lay VCT in churches, daycares, small offices and shop stockrooms, and at home in basements, laundry rooms and workshops where a floor has to be practical before it is pretty.

VCT is glued straight to the floor, so anything uneven underneath shows through and anything loose comes back. We flatten and clean the surface first, then set the tiles, which is what stops the seams lifting a year later.

Heat-Weld Vinyl Installation

Heat-weld vinyl is sheet vinyl with the seams welded shut, leaving nowhere for water or dirt to get in. It suits rooms that are cleaned hard and often: clinics, salons, daycares, kitchens and lab space.

We install heat-weld vinyl for Decatur businesses, and we can do the work outside your opening hours so you are not shut for a day.

LVT Installation

Luxury vinyl tile comes in squares and rectangles that copy stone, slate or ceramic. It suits Decatur bathrooms and kitchens in older houses, where real tile laid over a subfloor that flexes tends to crack along the grout sooner or later.

If the floor is solid enough for the real thing, we do that too. Ask about our floor and wall tile installation when we come out, and we will price both so the choice is yours rather than ours.

LVP Installation

Luxury vinyl plank is what most Decatur homeowners ask us for. It is a wood-look plank floor for living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and lower levels, and it is ready to walk on the day it is finished.

What is underneath decides how it looks. At the estimate we check the subfloor for movement, dips, damp and the two or three layers of old flooring that many Decatur houses have collected, then tell you what has to be dealt with before you buy anything.

How We Install
Your Vinyl Floor in Decatur

We come out first, measure, look under the existing floor where we can, and give you a written installation price. When you are ready to buy, we tell you when to have the store deliver so the flooring can sit in the house first. On the day we move furniture, lift the old floor if that is part of the job, and put the subfloor right before anything new goes down.

Then we lay the floor, cut around door casings rather than up to them, refit the trim and thresholds, and take the waste with us. Afterwards it is easy to live with: sweep or vacuum, damp mop with a vinyl cleaner, keep pads under the furniture, and wipe up spills as they happen.

Professional LVP and Vinyl Floor Installation in Decatur

A vinyl floor is only as good as the surface under it, and in Decatur that surface is usually old. Original boards, patched sections, three generations of adhesive and the occasional repair that was never quite finished all turn up. We look before we quote, and we tell you what we find.

Uneven Subfloors

Dips and humps in an old board subfloor are leveled so the planks lie flat and the seams stay shut.

Existing Flooring

Old vinyl, tile or carpet may need to come off, and in these houses there is often more than one layer. We tell you at the estimate what is coming up.

Damaged Subfloors

Soft boards by a bath or a back door are repaired before we start, so a problem that has been there for years does not reappear through the new floor.

Concrete Floors

Vinyl works over concrete, which is what makes it useful in Decatur basements and slab additions. We check the slab for moisture and flatness before deciding how the floor is fixed down.

Finding all of this before the floor goes down is the difference between a price that holds and a job that stops on day two. That is what the free visit is for.

You Buy the Flooring. We Install It.

Faust Flooring does not sell or supply flooring. You buy the product at the store's own price, from whoever you like, and pay us for the installation. There is no markup on materials tucked into our number, because there is no showroom for you to be paying for.

If you have not picked anything yet, we will meet you at the store. Having already seen the rooms, we can tell you what suits an older Decatur house: how thick to go over an uneven subfloor, which products cope with a basement, and where a thin wear layer will not last.

It is a simple arrangement: advice before you spend, one price for the installation, and more than 20 years of floors behind it.

How Much Does Vinyl Floor Installation Cost in Decatur?

The price depends on more than the size of the room. What moves it:

  • Size of the area
  • Type of LVP, LVT, or vinyl being installed
  • Condition of the subfloor
  • Removal of existing flooring
  • Leveling or preparation required
  • Stairs, transitions, and detailed areas
  • Baseboard or trim work

Because we install rather than sell, the flooring sits on your receipt from the store and our invoice is for the work. Nothing is rolled together, so you can see what you are paying for.

We give you a free in-home estimate in Decatur before anything is booked, so the number comes from your rooms and your subfloor rather than a guess on the phone.

Why Decatur Homeowners Choose Faust Flooring

We have been installing floors across Metro Atlanta for more than 20 years, working out of our own shop in Marietta.

What decides whether a floor still looks right in five years is not the brand on the box. It is preparation, straight lines, tight seams, clean transitions in every doorway, and being told what is happening before it happens.

Every job starts with a free visit to your Decatur home, before you have spent anything at all. We measure, look at the subfloor and explain what preparation is needed, so the price is for the job actually in front of us.

There are photographs of floors we have finished in the Faust Flooring gallery.
