About Fontana Homes

Fontana's North End and Sierra Lakes communities have been booming since the early 2000s, with thousands of large two-story homes that came with builder-grade carpet over plywood. Owners are tearing it out and going hardwood or LVP - that's most of what we install in Fontana.

Housing profile: Heavy mix of 2000s and 2010s builder homes (1,800 – 4,500 sq ft) with two stories and slab subfloors. Older central Fontana has 1950s ranches with original oak strip floors waiting under carpet.

Flooring in Fontana: What Local Homes Need

Fontana is one of our busiest install zones, and it is largely a two-story-on-slab town. In North Fontana, Sierra Lakes, Hunters Ridge and Heritage, the homes went up fast in the 2000s and 2010s with builder carpet laid straight over a concrete slab - so when we pull that carpet, the slab underneath is rarely flat. Self-leveling the first floor and stair-landing transitions is where most of the labor goes before any hardwood or LVP gets installed. The second-story plank work is its own consideration: we add acoustic underlayment so footsteps over the great room do not echo through the house. Closer to the Empire Center and Citrus Heights, the original 1950s ranches often hide oak strip flooring under carpet that is worth refinishing rather than replacing. Fontana also catches gritty Cajon Pass wind off the I-15 near Auto Club Speedway, so we steer busy entryways toward harder species and tougher wear layers. Our San Bernardino shop is about 18 minutes out, close enough for same-week estimates.

We have been doing stairs across Fontana long enough to know what is under these floors before we lift a board. That is most of what you are paying for.
