Project Overview

This laminate flooring project in McKinney, TX replaced the home’s glued-down wood floors with one continuous, waterproof floor across the main living areas. The new flooring runs through the entry, kitchen, breakfast area, living room, pantry, and connecting hallways, so the home now feels brighter, larger, and connected from room to room.

Why They Chose Mohawk RevWood

The homeowners selected Mohawk RevWood Plus Hampton Villa in Tulip Shell Oak, a light oak tone with warm beige undertones and understated grain. RevWood flooring is Mohawk’s American-made laminated wood line, and Hampton Villa adds a few features that made it a good fit for a busy household. It has wide 7½” planks with an embossed-in-register texture that follows the printed wood grain, a waterproof construction, and a 2mm pad already attached to every plank for a quieter, softer feel underfoot.

The soft oak color is also easy to design around. It pairs well with natural stone, warm metals, and layered textiles, and it works with both classic and modern furnishings.

From Glued-Down Wood to a Floating Floor

The existing wood floor was glued directly to the slab, so our crew removed it and prepared the surface so the new floor would sit flat. Unlike the old glue-down floor, RevWood laminate installs as a floating floor. The planks click together and rest on the slab rather than being bonded to it.

A floating floor needs a small expansion gap at every wall and fixed edge so it can move slightly with temperature and humidity. The fireplace hearth was the most detailed area on this job. We installed coordinated transitions around the fireplace and where the floor meets adjoining spaces, so the floor keeps its expansion room while the edges still look clean and finished. Fresh shoe molding covers the gap along the walls, and we painted the baseboards and shoe molding so the trim looks as new as the floor.
