How We Install

A Disciplined
Install Process.

Every Citadel Spaces install, single room or whole home, follows the same four checkpoints. Built around the realities of Sacramento construction, climate, and substrate conditions.

01

Free In-Home Visit

A Sacramento-based specialist measures the space, inspects the substrate, and walks options based on use, budget, and design.

02

Source & Acclimate

Product sourced to spec, freighted to our Sacramento warehouse, and acclimated on-site 5–7 days to prevent post-install movement.

03

Precision Install

In-house installers handle every layout, cut, transition, and finish detail with dust containment and daily site cleanup standard.

04

Final Walk-Through

We walk every square foot with you, address any punch-list items same-day, and leave you with care instructions and warranty in writing.

FAQ

The questions Sacramento homeowners ask most often when planning a flooring installation, answered so you can spec with confidence.

Talk to a Specialist

Most single-family Sacramento installs take 1–3 weeks depending on square footage and material. Hardwood installs that require on-site finishing add 3–5 days for sanding, staining, and polyurethane cure time. We schedule around your move-in deadline.

Yes, full demolition of old flooring, subfloor leveling, moisture remediation, and minor floor-joist repairs are all part of our standard install scope. See our Floor Demolition & Prep page for the details.

Every Sacramento crew uses HEPA-rated dust containment. Tile cuts are wet-cut, hardwood sanding uses dustless equipment, and adjacent rooms are taped off. Most clients are surprised by how little cleanup is needed after we leave.

Every Citadel Spaces installation carries our written lifetime workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on the material itself vary by line; full documentation is provided at the final walk-through.

We move all standard furniture in and out of the work area as part of the install. Specialty items (pianos, safes, fragile collections) should be relocated by the client before our team arrives.

LVP and engineered wood often install directly over existing substrates after leveling. Hardwood and natural stone typically require old-flooring removal. We assess every job during the free in-home consultation.

Yes. We integrate with GCs and designers across Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, and the surrounding area. Architectural drawings and project schedules welcome.

Basic LVP starts around $4/sq ft installed, mid-range engineered hardwood $9–$14/sq ft, premium solid hardwood and natural stone $18–$30+/sq ft. Fixed-price quote provided after the free consultation.
