Three Decisions to Make Before Buying Materials
Which Spaces Are Included?
Identify the rooms you want to update and the floors that will remain. This helps frame the discussion about continuity, changes in height, and transitions.
What Look Are You Trying to Create?
Bring reference photos or material samples to explain the colors, patterns, and finishes you prefer. Compare samples in the room where they will be installed rather than relying only on a product photograph.
What Does the Installation Need?
Before committing to materials, discuss the existing surface and the proposed installation. A preferred finish does not eliminate the need to evaluate the floor underneath.
Get Help Sourcing Materials—or Supply Your Own
Help With Selection and Sourcing
Antonio can help source materials and present samples for the project. This gives homeowners support when comparing flooring options and coordinating the details.
Installation for Materials You Purchase
If you prefer to purchase the flooring directly, Imperial can handle the installation. Discuss the selected product and the property’s conditions before finalizing the work.
Confirm who is purchasing materials and what the proposed scope includes before the project begins.
The Finish You Choose Still Depends on the Surface Underneath
Antonio’s evaluation includes measurements, floor levels, existing materials, and visible conditions. Those observations help determine whether the current flooring can remain or whether removal and additional preparation should be discussed.
Mixed Materials and Heights
A home may have tile in one room, vinyl in another, and carpet elsewhere. Installing one continuous floor requires evaluating those differences.
Uneven Existing Surfaces
Raised tiles or other surface irregularities can affect the proposed installation. The appropriate response depends on the existing conditions and selected flooring.
Concealed Conditions
Removing the old floor may expose adhesive residue, additional layers, cracks, or uneven areas that were not visible beforehand.
Visible inspection is the starting point. Product requirements and conditions discovered during removal can also affect the installation plan.
Material Guidance Backed by Hands-On Experience
Antonio brings approximately six years of experience with Imperial, along with earlier renovation experience. His work has included porcelain installations, residential flooring updates, and decorative epoxy projects. He emphasizes preparation, finishing details, and clear communication throughout the project.
His goal is to make the process easier for homeowners, whether they want help finding materials or already know what they would like installed.

- The materials currently installed.
- The appearance you want to achieve.
- Whether you need help sourcing materials.
- Visible differences in height between rooms.
- The proposed removal and preparation work.
- Trim and transitions.

Material purchasing, removal, disposal, preparation, and trim should be clarified in the proposed scope rather than assumed to be included.
Vero Beach Flooring Questions
How do I choose between vinyl, laminate, and tile?
Consider your preferred appearance, how you use the room, the specific product’s requirements, and the existing surface. Discuss those together before selecting materials; there is no universal winner.
Can Antonio help me choose materials?
Yes. Antonio can help source materials and present samples for your project, so you can compare options before making a selection.
Can I purchase the flooring myself?
Yes. Imperial offers installation of homeowner-purchased materials. Discuss the selected product’s suitability and installation needs before finalizing the work.
Can vinyl be installed over existing tile?
Some tile surfaces may be candidates after evaluation. The surface condition, height differences, and selected product’s installation requirements matter; existing tile cannot always remain.
Do you install garage epoxy in Vero Beach?
Yes. Garage epoxy is part of Imperial’s residential service offering in Vero Beach. The concrete must be evaluated before recommending the coating system and preparation.
What should I do before installation begins?
Antonio asks homeowners to remove furniture, personal belongings, and other items from the work area before installation. If you need assistance, discuss it in advance rather than assume it is included.
