My hardwood floors looked beautiful when they were done. Previous house cleaners left footprints requiring me to clean up after them. Two people worked steadily for 5-1/2 hours and did a great job.

Sean was extremely polite and professional. He worked most of the day on the three levels including over 30 steps. After he was finished he raked the carpet. He also provided instructions for cleaning the wood floors. I would definitely recommend his services.

PD did a fine job installing the doors even though the space was somewhat cramped. The installer was professional and friendly. No adjustments were necessary after the fact. They might have been able to do a slightly better job cleaning up some of the rivets and small junk that fell to the floor...

Hardwood Flooring questions, answered by experts

Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to water-damaged concrete.

There are many types of carpet, but nylon carpet with short loops tends to be the most durable type as it resists stains and holds up against wear and fading. In terms of longevity, frieze or Berber carpet are also excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years, which is longer than most other types of carpet.

Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.

Laminate flooring is susceptible to expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations. In the summer, laminate flooring is more likely to expand, possibly giving it a crowned or warped look. In the winter, when temperatures fall, the flooring can contract, revealing gaps between the boards. This is normal and should be expected when you install laminate flooring.
