Is steam mopping better than regular mopping?

• <div><p>Steam mopping might be better than regular mopping if you don’t use the right cleaning products or properly rinse or wring out the mop head. However, if you use the right techniques, regular mopping also sanitizes effectively—even if it takes more effort. Plus, you know you can use a regular mop on any flooring—including to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-laminate-floors.htm">clean laminate floors</a> or hardwood, which don’t do well with steam cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Do you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether or not you put flooring under kitchen cabinets depends on the type of flooring you&rsquo;re installing. Tile and hardwood flooring can throw off the height measurement for cabinets, so the best practice is to install it first then add the cabinets on top. Laminate flooring, or any floating floor, should not be installed underneath cabinets because it expands and contracts, making the cabinets unstable. </p></div>

Q: Is cork flooring less expensive than hardwood?

• <div><p>When considering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cork-flooring-what-are-pros-and-cons.htm">cork flooring pros and cons</a>, you may have toyed with the idea of getting other types of flooring, including hardwood. But how does it compare in price? Your new cork flooring can cost less than hardwood, depending on the wood type you choose. Cork costs about $5 to $19 per square foot, while hardwood costs $6 to $25 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How long should a Berber carpet last?

• <div><p>You may be wondering, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">how long does carpet last</a>? It depends on the type. For your Berber carpet, it should last <b>10 to 15 years</b> with regular cleaning and maintenance. For the longest lifespan possible, you should call in a carpet cleaner for a deep cleaning at least once a year. </p><p>Also, you can opt for higher-quality Berber carpet and underlayment which will last longer. And if you have pets, make sure to house-train them and use extra rugs in areas you expect high foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: How much does carpet padding cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-is-carpet-padding.htm">Carpet padding costs</a> an average of <b>$510</b> to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.</p></div>

Amazing. Very collaborative. Spent the time up front and at key points collaborating with us to get the design that would work. Very easy to work with. Did what they said. If anyone wants to reach out to me I can explain the details of how complex this was and what a great team they were.

Installation of all types of floors and carpet. We guarantee your satisfaction, and we won't leave until the job is done right. 10 years of experience.

"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!"
