Plan adjoining rooms together
When updating a hallway, kitchen and living room, floor heights, door details and fittings affect one another. We discuss these transitions as part of the project so individual decisions work together later.

Floors & tiles in Steglitz-Zehlendorf
When new flooring extends across several rooms in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, height differences and door connections matter early. We assess transitions together and discuss preparation before finishes are ordered and individual rooms are scheduled.
Before work starts
Let’s check the details that could hold up your renovation
Access, existing materials and rooms you still need to use can change the order of work. Tell us about your property so we can plan around it.
Tell us what you need to keep using
A workspace, bedroom or route to the garden may remain essential during the work. Explain your routine so we can discuss possible phases and the limits of renovating an occupied home.
Check existing elements before altering them
Existing doors, stairs and fittings need careful consideration where new finishes meet them. Records of earlier alterations help identify unanswered questions before strip-out.

Get the important decisions out of the way early
The substrate comes first
Levelness, strength and moisture affect installation. Old adhesives, loose layers and cracks must be assessed. Potentially hazardous older materials require professional investigation before removal.
Choose materials for the use
Living areas, kitchens and busy commercial spaces have different needs. Maintenance, moisture exposure and manufacturer approvals belong in the decision.
Plan transitions carefully
Doors, adjacent rooms and stairs determine the available build-up height. Movement joints and connections to fixed elements must also suit the chosen flooring system.
What to send us
Tell us the area, existing floor and desired covering. Photographs of transitions and doorways are helpful. For parquet and tiling, the scope and authorised specialist contractor are agreed beforehand.
What affects the quote
Materials, installation method, substrate preparation, room geometry and removal affect the price. An apparently inexpensive installation may need substantial preparation, which should be visible in the quotation.

Questions about your Steglitz-Zehlendorf project
Anything else on your mind?
Write to us.
Vinyl, laminate or parquet – which is best?
Use, moisture, maintenance preferences, feel and budget are key. Suitability for underfloor heating or wet areas must be checked for the specific product.
Can the existing floor stay in place?
Only if the substrate, build-up height and manufacturer's requirements allow it. A general promise without assessment would not be appropriate.
Can the renovation be carried out in phases?
This depends on the rooms involved and preparation shared between them. Send a room list and tell us which areas must remain usable so we can discuss a suitable sequence.
Can I enquire about a property in Schlachtensee?
Yes. Schlachtensee is a neighbourhood within Steglitz-Zehlendorf. As with any project, we need the actual address and details of the work you want.
