Floor Preparation and Removal
in Fargo, ND
Why Preparing Matters
When it comes to flooring, what sits underneath matters just as much as what you see on the surface. In Fargo and across the Red River Valley, shifting temperatures, seasonal humidity, and older construction can all impact subfloor conditions. At Showcase Floors, our floor preparation and removal services are built to protect your investment from the ground up. We do not rush demolition or gloss over prep work. Instead, we focus on precision, cleanliness, and long-term performance so your new floors install correctly and last for years.
As trusted Fargo-Moorhead floor prep contractors, we treat demo and prep as a critical phase, not an afterthought.
The Real Difference Behind Professional Demo and Prep
Many flooring issues trace back to shortcuts taken during demolition or subfloor preparation. Uneven surfaces, leftover adhesive, and hidden damage can cause cracking, squeaks, and premature wear. Our approach to floor demolition in Fargo is meticulous and methodical.
We start by fully removing existing materials, including carpet, tile, vinyl, hardwood, and underlayment. From there, we assess what the subfloor is telling us. Subfloor inspection allows us to identify moisture issues, movement, or structural concerns before new flooring ever enters the space. This attention to detail is the foundation of our demo and prep difference.

Subfloor Leveling for Long-Lasting Floors
Flat floors are not optional. They are required for proper installation and long-term durability. We provide subfloor leveling in West Fargo, ND, and surrounding communities using proven techniques and materials.
Self-leveling compound allows us to correct dips, humps, and uneven areas while meeting strict floor flatness standards required by manufacturers. This step is especially important for large-format tile, luxury vinyl, and engineered flooring products that show imperfections quickly.
By leveling the subfloor correctly, we help prevent lippage, gaps, and stress points that shorten the life of your flooring.
