Leveling first, then plank or wood laid flat and tight, baseboards reset — Houston, Harris County.
Before a single plank goes down anywhere in Houston, the floor underneath it has almost always moved. The clay "gumbo" soil under most of this city swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and a slab foundation moves with it — not dramatically, but enough that a floor that was flat when the house was built usually isn't anymore. Harry works from a leveling process he sketched out himself: check the slab, find the low spots, build them up before anything gets laid on top.
Skip that step and it shows within a year — plank that clicks or separates at the seams, wood that cups along one edge, a floor that looks fine in photos but feels wrong underfoot. HM Flooring installs vinyl plank and wood flooring with leveling as the first phase of the job, not an upsell added after a problem turns up.
A recent job ran plank flooring wall-to-wall through a bedroom with the baseboards pulled and reset afterward, so there's no visible seam where the new floor meets the trim — the kind of detail that's only possible when the leveling underneath was done right the first time. It's a small thing to notice and a hard thing to fix after the fact.
One crew from demolition to the last coat of paint.
