A 3-year workmanship warranty covers every job across Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Southlake, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Arlington, Carrollton, and Fort Worth.

Frequently asked
How much does flooring cost in DFW?
Installed price ranges in DFW: luxury vinyl plank (LVP) $4–$8 per sq ft, engineered hardwood $8–$14 per sq ft, solid hardwood $10–$18 per sq ft, mid-grade porcelain tile $9–$15 per sq ft, large-format or natural-stone tile $14–$28 per sq ft. Slab leveling, subfloor repair, and demo are scoped separately.
What's the best flooring for DFW homes?
For most DFW slab-on-grade homes, LVP or engineered hardwood handle slab moisture and seasonal movement better than solid hardwood. Solid hardwood works fine on pier-and-beam construction common in older East Dallas and M-Streets neighborhoods. Porcelain tile is the best choice for wet areas and high-traffic kitchens.
Do you handle slab prep and leveling?
Yes. DFW clay-soil movement leaves most older slabs with high and low spots that exceed the 3/16-inch-over-10-feet tolerance modern click-lock flooring needs. We grind highs and pour self-leveler on lows before any plank goes down. Slab prep is scoped after we measure with a 10-foot straight edge.
How long does flooring installation take?
A 2,000 sq ft LVP install over a flat slab is 2–3 working days. Engineered hardwood on the same area runs 3–5 days. Solid hardwood with sand-and-finish on site is 7–10 days including dry time between coats. Tile in a kitchen or bath is 3–5 days including thinset cure and grout.
Do you move furniture and remove existing flooring?
Yes. Furniture moves and old-floor demo are scoped as line items, not buried. Demo of glued-down vinyl or carpet pad bonded to slab is the slowest variable — we price it after we see it.
Why TrueForm for DFW flooring
Slab prep is the difference between a flooring job that looks right at handoff and one that looks right in five years. North Texas clay-soil movement leaves most DFW slabs with high and low spots that exceed the 3/16-inch-over-10-feet tolerance modern click-lock and glue-down flooring needs. We bring a 10-foot straight edge to every walkthrough, grind highs, pour self-leveler on lows, and check moisture with a meter on slab-on-grade before any plank goes down. Transitions, quarter round, and door undercuts are part of the install scope, not an add-on. A 3-year workmanship warranty covers every floor and manufacturer warranty on the product passes through to you at handoff.
