New Floors for Clermont Homes, Installed Right

A large share of Clermont's housing sits in age-restricted communities built out over the past few decades, including Kings Ridge and Summit Greens, where original flooring and worn carpet are common in homes that have had the same owner for years. Replacing that flooring with vinyl plank or laminate is one of the most requested updates in these neighborhoods, since both hold up well to daily foot traffic without the upkeep carpet demands.

At the same time, Clermont keeps adding new construction south and east of Downtown Clermont and along the corridor toward US Highway 27, where slab-on-grade homes are the standard. Flooring work in these newer homes usually means installing straight onto a prepared concrete slab, with less demolition involved but still a careful check of the subfloor before the new material goes down.

Like the rest of Central Florida, Clermont deals with high humidity for much of the year and regular afternoon thunderstorms through the summer months. That moisture in the air affects how different flooring materials hold up indoors, which is part of why vinyl plank has become a common choice in bathrooms, kitchens and homes close to the water, including those near Lake Minneola and the Clermont Chain of Lakes.

Solid and engineered hardwood can still work well in Clermont homes, but it needs time to acclimate to the indoor climate before installation and benefits from a stable, dry subfloor. On slab homes, that often starts with self-leveling compound to correct any dips or unevenness in the concrete, so the finished floor sits flat no matter which material gets chosen.

MS Floors & Cleaning is based in southwest Orlando and travels out to Clermont for flooring work across the city, from homes near Downtown Clermont to communities along US Highway 27. The company carries liability insurance that covers the flooring side of the business, and Marcos leads every installation from the initial measurement through the final baseboard.

Because flooring and cleaning come from the same company, a flooring job in Clermont can be paired with a cleanup once the install wraps up, whether that means a post-construction cleaning after a new floor goes in or a deep clean before move-in. One phone call covers both halves of the work.
