Updating Taylorsville Homes

Modernizing the 1980s

Taylorsville is filled with solid, well-built homes from the 70s and 80s. But let's be honest—flooring styles have changed. The golden oak kitchens, the carpeted bathrooms, and the squeaky plywood subfloors are ready for an update.

At South Valley Flooring, we are renovation specialists. We don't just lay new floors; we fix the underlying issues that plague older homes so your investment lasts for the next 40 years.

The Squeak Repair Process

If you walk down your hallway and it sounds like a haunted house, you aren't alone. This is caused by the subfloor nails loosening over decades. Many installers just carpet over it.

We fix it properly. When we rip out your old carpet, we perform a "screw-down." We drive 2-inch screws into the floor joists every 6-8 inches. This pulls the subfloor tight against the frame, eliminating movement and silencing the squeak. It adds time, but the silence is golden.

Kitchen Renovation Flooring

The kitchen is the heart of the Taylorsville home. We install high-performance waterproof LVP that flows seamlessly from your entry into your kitchen and dining area. This visual continuity makes your home feel 30% bigger than chopping up rooms with different flooring types.

We can also install new 5-inch baseboards to replace the tiny, painted-over 2-inch molding from 1985, giving your rooms a crisp, modern definition.

Split-Level Entry Solutions

Many homes in Taylorsville are split-entries. The entry landing is a high-traffic zone that gets wet every winter. We install durable, waterproof tile or LVP on the landing and coordinate it with custom stair nosing that is safe and stylish. No more slippery metal strips—just solid, integrated construction.

Rental & Kitchen Renovation Tips

LVP for Rentals: Taylorsville has a strong rental market. We install 20-mil glue-down LVP for landlords because it is virtually indestructible. If a tenant damages a plank, we can replace just that single piece, saving thousands over replacing a whole room.

Flooring Without Cabinet Replacement: You don't need to replace your cabinets to get new floors. We can undercut your cabinet toe-kicks to slide the new floor underneath for a seamless look, or install quarter-round molding. You get a brand new floor look without the $30k kitchen remodel price tag.
