Flooring Installation for Kettering, Ohio Homes
Kettering is one of the more established suburbs in the Dayton area, with a lot of housing stock dating back to the 1950s through 1970s. AGM Tile & Flooring, based 13 miles away in Springboro, handles the specific challenges that come with flooring in homes this age.
LVP is our go-to recommendation for Kettering homeowners replacing original vinyl tile or aging carpet — it's more durable and far easier to live with day to day. We also remove old flooring safely and correctly, which matters more in a mid-century home than in new construction.
Every job starts with a free, in-person estimate — no guessing over the phone.
Flooring Services We Offer in Kettering
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) Installation
For Kettering homes still running original 1960s-era flooring, LVP is a straightforward, durable upgrade that modernizes the space without a full remodel.
Hardwood Flooring Removal & Refresh
Some Kettering homes have original hardwood under carpet that's been covered for decades. We remove and assess what's there so you know your real options before committing to a material.
Commercial-Grade Flooring
Kettering's established commercial corridors need flooring built for consistent foot traffic — we install commercial carpet squares and glued-down LVT for offices and retail spaces.
Baseboards and quarter-round finishing come standard with flooring installs on nearly every Kettering job.
Why Kettering Homeowners Need a Flooring Crew That Knows Older Housing Stock
Original Vinyl Tile in Pre-1980 Homes
A lot of Kettering's mid-century homes still have original vinyl floor tile, and if your home was built before 1980, that old tile or the adhesive underneath it can contain asbestos. We're trained to recognize the signs and pause work to bring in a certified abatement specialist before continuing — not something every flooring crew thinks to check.
Carpet Over Original Hardwood
It's common in Kettering to pull up decades-old carpet and find original hardwood underneath. We assess condition honestly rather than defaulting to a straight LVP replacement when refinishing might actually be the better call.
Ranch-Style Layouts, Continuous Flooring
Kettering's classic ranch floor plans favor continuous flooring runs through living and dining areas — we plan transitions so the finished look reads as one space.
Established Neighborhoods, Efficient Scheduling
With most Kettering jobs in the 1-2 day range, our crew moves efficiently through established neighborhoods without disrupting your week.
Why Kettering Homeowners Choose AGM Tile & Flooring

Thirteen miles from our Springboro base means quick scheduling, not a multi-week wait for an estimate.
Kettering's established housing stock deserves a crew that's covered for what it might find underneath.
