Laminate flooring is a versatile and cost-effective flooring solution that mimics the appearance of other flooring materials. It is composed of multiple layers. These layers include high-density fiberboard core, a photographic layer, and a protective wear layer.
This type of flooring is known to be scratch resistant. This combination of layers makes laminate flooring a durable and attractive option for any room in your home.
Laminate flooring offers the look of real hardwood at a fraction of the cost. This makes it an excellent choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
The wear layer on laminate flooring provides resistance to scratches, dents, and stains. Ensuring it can withstand heavy foot traffic and daily wear and tear.
Laminate installation is straightforward and can often be completed as a DIY project. DIY can save you money on professional installation costs.
Laminate flooring is available in a wide range of styles, colors, and textures. These features let you create the perfect look for your home.
Laminate floors are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping.
Installing laminate flooring is a relatively simple process. It does require careful preparation and attention to detail to ensure a flawless finish. Here’s a guide to our laminate installation process.
Our professional installers will ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. They will repair any imperfections to provide a stable foundation for the laminate flooring.
We will place a vapor barrier in moisture-prone areas to prevent moisture from seeping into the laminate flooring.
Our team will make sure that the laminate planks acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before installation. This process prevents the planks from expanding and contracting after they are installed.
We'll lay down the underlayment, which provides cushioning and soundproofing. Some laminate flooring products come with an attached underlayment.
We start by laying the first row of planks along the longest wall. We do this to make sure there is an expansion gap between the planks and the wall. This gap allows the flooring to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
As we install laminate flooring, we stagger the seams of the planks to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
If needed, we'll use a utility knife or a laminate cutter to cut the planks to fit around corners and edges. We always measure twice to ensure accurate cuts.
Laminate flooring is typically installed as a floating floor, meaning the planks are not glued or nailed down. This allows the flooring to expand and contract freely.
Our installers will leave an expansion gap around the perimeter of the room. They will then cover the expansion gap with baseboards or quarter-round molding for a polished look.
The installation cost of laminate flooring can vary based on several factors, including the size of the area and the type of laminate. At Mid America Flooring Solutions, we offer competitive pricing and can provide you with a detailed estimate for your laminate flooring installation.
Maintaining laminate flooring is easy and requires minimal effort
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a damp mop with a mild cleaning solution for deeper cleaning.
While waterproof laminate can handle spills, it’s still important to avoid excessive water during cleaning to prevent damage to the floor's core.
Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents.
Use area rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear.

Making your dream floors affordable and accessible
I am a 2nd generation flooring professional with over a decade in the industry and have worn a lot of hats within the trade. I have been a helper picking up scraps and fetching tools, I have been an employee installer, a Subcontractor, I spent time estimating, Selling product, completing trade certifications, and managing a multistate workforce of field managers and flooring contractors. I have experience in all types of floor coverings such as carpet, vinyl, tile/backsplash, hardwood, laminate, and vinyl plank. I have learned that in flooring no matter what role you are in the common goal is to transform the clients space and give them the best experience possible. That is something I strive to do on a daily basis no matter what hat I am wearing. My wife is in the flooring industry on the office side of things as well as two of my nieces and one of my nephews. I have two sons that are St. Peters hockey players that one day will hopefully be involved in the business as well. Outside of flooring my family loves to be outside. We enjoy fishing, boating, BBQing, and other outdoor activities. My brother Greg and I operate Mid America Flooring Solutions and have parents that built and own a very successful company within the flooring trade. We ultimately value the opportunity to provide great service to our customers and strive to give the best experience in the flooring industry.
Flooring is in my blood as a 3rd generation flooring professional, my grandfather was an installer and then went into sales, my father was an installer and then went into flooring project management, my mom and bonus dad have been in the business for over 30 years. I grew up around job sites and remember vividly the distinct smell of the warehouses, crawling around carpet samples in my grandfather’s van, sitting on rolls of carpet and pad as we drove to job sites and to be let out on my own to do various tasks. I have some scars from those early days that bring back found memories. I went away from the flooring business for some time focusing on my education and working closely with and leading Teams of people in various industries for the last 20 years. I am back to where I belong, in the flooring business and have been here for the past several years. I love working with clients and our Teams to give our clients what they deserve no matter the size of the project. My two daughters, brother, sister-in-law, nephew and are all part of the business, so it truly is something we are all passionate about. We are dedicated to wanting to be your lifelong flooring partners with exceptional client service based on integrity, responsiveness and a people-centric approach. In my free time, in the summer you will find me hanging with my wife of 27 years, family and friends boating on the Mississippi river, we love to volunteer and support local businesses, love to travel, are huge dog lovers and try to make the most out of each day with a positive outlook on the future.
