About
How we work
DK Flooring is owner-operated by , who manages every project directly.
Standards
What we commit to
The subfloor is assessed, not assumed
A flatness check is carried out before preparation is priced. If the slab requires grinding or leveling, it appears in the estimate rather than arriving later as a change order.
The estimate is itemized
Material, removal, preparation, installation, stairs, trim and disposal appear as separate line items, so scope can be adjusted deliberately rather than negotiated as a single figure.
Manufacturer specification is the minimum
Expansion gaps, fastener schedule, adhesive spread rate and acclimation time are followed as written. Shortcuts here save a day of labor and void the product warranty.
Stairs and trim are in scope
Many contractors price the field of the room and subcontract the stairs and baseboards. Both are performed by our own crew, under the same accountability as the flooring.
Daily cleanup
Dust containment where required, protected walkways, and the site swept before the crew leaves each day — the home remains occupied during the work.
Layout approved before installation
Starting wall, plank direction, seam stagger and cut placement are dry-fit and approved by you before anything is fastened.
Scope
Work we decline
Stating this in advance avoids a wasted appointment for both parties.
Installation over a failing slab
Where the slab is not sound and the necessary remediation is declined, we will not proceed. Installing over it means installing twice.
Installing over unsuitable flooring
Installing over an existing floor is often the correct approach and we will say so. Where it is not — door height, a soft or hollow substrate, unidentified adhesive — cost alone is not sufficient reason.
Products with a known failure record
If a product has failed in comparable coastal slab-on-grade conditions, you will be told before installation rather than after.
Licensing
Licensed in California
Our CSLB license number is on every estimate, every invoice and in the footer of this site. Verify it any time at cslb.ca.gov — with any contractor, not just us.
License information is available upon request. Ask and we will provide it with your estimate.
In California, any home improvement job over $500 in combined labor and materials requires a licensed contractor, and the license number has to appear in advertising. We recommend requesting it from every bidder and verifying it. It takes under a minute and is the most effective screening step available to you.
