Multi-Unit & Apartment Flooring in Rockford, IL
What Is Multi-Unit & Apartment Flooring?
Apartment and multi-unit flooring needs to stand up to heavy use, quick tenant turnovers, and the unique demands of property management. We install hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate, and carpet—each chosen for durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance in busy rental environments.
I’ve replaced carpet with LVP in a dozen units between tenants, working with property managers to meet tight move-in dates and minimize vacancy. Sometimes we’re in and out of a unit in a single day so the next family can move right in.

- Common areas and hallways

- Laundry rooms and amenity spaces

Step-by-Step Multi-Unit & Apartment Flooring Process
Assessment & Planning
We start with a walkthrough—checking subfloors, measuring spaces, and discussing timelines. For occupied units, we coordinate with tenants and management to minimize disruption. For vacant units, we plan fast, efficient installs to keep your turnover schedule on track. One project involved replacing hallway carpet in a 40-unit building—working floor by floor to keep residents moving safely, and always leaving common areas clean at the end of each day.
Material Selection & Specification
We help you choose the best materials—LVP for durability and water resistance, carpet for bedrooms, or engineered wood for premium units. We’ll recommend options for soundproofing, stain resistance, and pet-friendly finishes, and provide samples for approval.
Subfloor Preparation
We repair, level, and clean subfloors, remove old adhesives, and install moisture barriers as needed. For older buildings, special attention goes to squeaky or uneven floors.
Professional Installation
We use glue-down, floating, or nail-down methods as appropriate. For occupied buildings, we work in phases or off-hours to minimize inconvenience. Transitions, stairs, and common areas are finished to meet safety and ADA standards.
Final Inspection & Handover
We walk the job with management, check every detail, and provide care instructions. We’re always available for follow-up or repairs.
