How long does carpet protection last?

• <div><p>You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-clean-and-revive-carpet-pile.htm">revive your carpet</a>. </p></div>

Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-install-carpet-on-concrete.htm">install carpet over concrete</a>, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

Q: What’s the best floor for a walk-in shower?

• <div><p>Tile&mdash;specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles&mdash;is the best type of flooring for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-walk-in-shower-base.htm">building a walk-in shower base</a>. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.</p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>

Q: What flooring materials do floor transitions work best with?

• <div><p>Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.</p></div>

I don’t know what happened but we started off very well. They finished the project but left one piece undone on my flooring and never came back to get the scraps in my backyard.

Fabulous job at an honest price! Repaired/replaced toilet, flange, subflooring and vinyl flooring in 4 days! I'm planning on re-hiring for more jobs in the future. They were neat and tidy, very considerate and left my home cleaner than when they arrived. Many thanks, guys!

"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!"
