How long does carpet padding last?

• <div><p>It depends on the kind you choose, but some types of carpet padding can last for decades. For instance, flat rubber—which is dense, durable, and higher-priced than other padding materials—has a life span of up to 20 years. On the other hand, prime foam—a lower-priced material that often comes free with a carpet installation—lasts less than five years on average.</p></div>

Q: How long do terrazzo floors last?

• <div><p>Poured-in-place terrazzo flooring is more durable than tile. In fact, it&rsquo;s one of the most durable types of flooring on the market. It can last anywhere from 40 to 100 years, depending on maintenance. On average, you can expect your terrazzo floor to last about 75 years, but you will have to make repairs as needed.</p></div>

Q: Should carpet be lighter or darker than walls?

• <div><p>Ultimately, it&rsquo;s a matter of personal preference. However, as a rule of thumb, lighter-colored carpets and walls will open up a room and often make it feel larger than it really is. On the other hand, darker shades tend to shrink a space, making it feel cozier. By mixing and matching light and dark colors, you can add dimension to the room.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest and most durable flooring?

• <div><p>Sheet vinyl is among the most affordable flooring options, and it&rsquo;s very durable, too. You can buy sheet vinyl for as low as $0.50 per square foot, and it can last you 10 to 20 years. After sheet vinyl, laminate flooring is the next most cost-friendly flooring option, with prices ranging from $1 to $6 per square foot. Other inexpensive but durable options include linoleum, carpeting, and concrete, each of which can be purchased for as low as $2 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Which type of flooring is best for the kitchen?

• <div><p>Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.</p></div>

"Mr. Mendez and his crew were excellent! Communication was great! They took all the old tile flooring up in the kitchen, laundry room, and 1 bathroom then applied a leveling mud. After this they installed all new Laminate water proof flooring in the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, 1 bathroom, and 2 bedrooms. And then they installed quarter round in all these areas. They did a great job of moving big pieces of furniture or appliances around to complete the install. And, they cleaned everything up! They did all of this in 1 1/2 days. Their price was far below any competing contractors. I would hire them again! Outstanding!"
