"In August 2012 this company installed four supports in the crawl space of a 100 year old home. This was necessary to replace support lost when the fireplaces were removed. We had them come back this year, May 2013, to install steel posts on the first floor directly above the previously installed supports. The steel posts carried the additional support upward and fixed the support of a header that was previously installed incorrectly by someone else. Besides fixing the supports for the header, they also repositioned it and beefed it up. This company works with you to come up with the best solution without going overboard. They don't try to oversell you, listen to what the homeowner wants, and work within your budget. This home has been gutted and is a work in progress. They are willing to break things down into smaller tasks and work with you. Ken Pohlman, the salesman and estimator for our area is great to work with. We will definitely be having them do more work as our budget allows. We have worked with two different crews and both were excellent. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. We didn't realize we could request a crew but will do so in the future. I don't remember the names of the first crew but this crew was Steve Johnson and Matt Pierce. We will request them next time.

"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people.

".Professional and courteous.  They arrived  early  Monday morning ready to work.  They tore out the floor and were careful to throw the scraps away from my flowers outside.  They wasted no time replacing  the floor with heavy plywood.  It really looks wonderful.  Neat job,  No waste,  They cleaned up and swept before they left.  I  was very happy with the job they did and very surprised at how fast they got it finished.   I  would recommend Rent a Man for any job you may need done,

"I left for work around 8 AM and when I returned at 5 PM, Mr. Baugh and his crew was packing up their tools and cleaning my yard because the rook to my 16x80 trailer was complete. I could not believe how quick this company worked. I will definitely be a repeat customer!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

A laminate floor will lift if it hasn’t been installed with the proper expansion gaps around the room’s perimeter. Laminate flooring naturally expands and contracts when indoor temperatures fluctuate, and without adequate room for expansion, the planks can lift off the subfloor. To avoid this, ensure your flooring installer knows to leave the proper expansion gaps.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

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.

To prepare a floor for a steam mop, it’s essential to vacuum or sweep the floor thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris. Skipping this step can lead to streaky results and may cause you to simply spread grime instead of removing it. Worse, hard debris can scratch or damage delicate floors like hardwood or laminate. Proper prep helps ensure a truly clean and protected surface.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
