Professional Flooring Installation in Taylor, MS
TAV Construction brings trade-grade flooring expertise to Taylor and Lafayette County. From moisture-resistant LVP to real-wood engineered hardwood, every plank is installed right the first time.
Taylor's Choice for Hardwood and Luxury Vinyl Plank
North Mississippi's humidity and seasonal temperature swings demand flooring that can take it. TAV Construction has spent years learning exactly which products hold up in Lafayette County homes — and how to install them so they stay flat, quiet, and beautiful for decades.
Whether you're replacing worn carpet in a rental property or upgrading to real engineered hardwood in your forever home, our crew brings the same level of precision to every square foot. We don't rush the prep work, because bad subfloors are the number-one reason floors fail early.
- Precision LVP installation featuring waterproof locking systems engineered for North Mississippi's humidity swings.
- Engineered hardwood solutions that deliver the warmth and grain of real oak with superior dimensional stability.
- Comprehensive subfloor leveling and preparation to guarantee a lifetime of squeak-free performance.
- Full service area coverage across Taylor and Lafayette County with prompt scheduling and on-time crews.
Why Taylor Homeowners Choose TAV
Luxury Vinyl Plank is the go-to for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic living areas. Its 100% waterproof core means spills and pet accidents never reach the subfloor. Modern embossed textures replicate the look of real wood so closely that guests rarely notice the difference.
A real-wood veneer over a dimensionally stable plywood core gives you authentic hardwood character at a fraction of the solid-wood cost. Engineered boards handle Mississippi's humidity better than solid strips and can be refinished once or twice over their lifespan.
Today's premium laminate carries AC4 and AC5 wear ratings that hold up in busy households. Pair a high-density core with a moisture-resistant underlayment and you get a floor that looks sharp and performs long after cheaper options show wear.
The TAV Flooring Installation Process
A quality floor starts long before the first plank goes down. Our four-step process eliminates the hidden problems that cause floors to buckle, squeak, or gap within the first year.
Site Assessment & Moisture Testing
Before a single board is cut, our crew inspects every square foot of your existing subfloor. We use moisture meters to measure wood or concrete slab conditions, identify soft spots, high or low areas, and any existing damage. This data drives every decision that follows, so there are no surprises once installation begins.
Demolition & Haul-Away
Old carpet, staples, tack strips, glue-down vinyl, and damaged tile all have to go before the new floor can go in. We handle complete removal and haul-away so you're not stuck renting a dumpster or making dump runs. The goal is a clean, flat starting surface — not just a covered-up problem.
Precision Layout & Installation
Layout planning is where craftsmanship shows. We dry-fit rows to maximize visual flow, balance end cuts on opposite walls, and account for doorways, transitions, and focal points like fireplaces or kitchen islands. Careful planning minimizes waste and produces a floor that looks intentional rather than thrown together.
Trim, Transitions & Final Inspection
A finished floor means finished edges. We install shoe molding or quarter-round, cut and fit transition strips between rooms or at doorways, and re-set any base trim removed during prep. Before we pack up, we walk every room with you to confirm the floor looks and feels exactly right.
Flooring Materials We Install in Taylor
TAV Construction is not tied to one brand or product line. We work with the materials that best fit your home's conditions, your budget, and how you actually live in your space. Here's a closer look at what we install most often in Taylor and the surrounding Lafayette County area.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
LVP has become the dominant choice in North Mississippi homes for good reason. A rigid core construction — SPC or WPC — resists temperature-driven expansion far better than older floating vinyl formats. Wear layers range from 6 mil for light-traffic bedrooms up to 22 mil for commercial-grade durability in busy kitchens and mudrooms. We help you match the right wear layer to the room so you're not overpaying for protection you don't need or under-speccing for traffic the floor will actually see.
Installation is floating or glue-down depending on the subfloor type and the specific product. We always follow manufacturer acclimation and adhesive specs to protect your warranty.
Engineered Hardwood
If real-wood character matters to you, engineered hardwood hits the sweet spot between authenticity and performance. A genuine hardwood veneer — oak, hickory, maple, or hand-scraped options — sits atop a cross-ply plywood core that resists cupping and gapping through Mississippi's humidity shifts. Unlike solid hardwood, engineered boards can often be installed directly over a concrete slab with the right moisture barrier in place.
We cut to fit, not to cover — every transition point and doorway gets precise attention so the grain flows naturally from room to room.
Laminate
Premium laminate from brands with AC4 or AC5 ratings delivers impressive scratch and dent resistance for households with kids or pets. Modern print technology produces photorealistic wood and stone looks that hold up to close inspection. Pair a quality laminate with the right underlayment for your subfloor type and you get a comfortable, quiet surface that resists daily abuse.
Subfloor Services
No flooring product performs better than the surface underneath it. We offer full subfloor preparation as part of every installation project, not as an upsell.
Plywood Repair & Replacement
Soft, rotted, or delaminated plywood panels get cut out and replaced with properly nailed and glued structural panels before any new flooring goes in. We check for signs of moisture intrusion and address the source, not just the symptom.
Self-Leveling Compound
Concrete slabs with dips or humps out of spec for the flooring product get a skim of self-leveling compound. We feather edges carefully so transitions are gradual and invisible once the new floor is installed.
Moisture Barriers
Slab-on-grade installations in the South require proper vapor control. We specify and install the barrier that matches both the slab's moisture reading and the flooring manufacturer's requirements to keep your warranty intact.
Squeak Elimination
Noisy floors drive homeowners crazy. Before laying new flooring over an existing wood subfloor, we locate and screw down any panels that are lifting or rubbing against joists — a simple step that makes a dramatic difference in the finished product.
