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: When remodeling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

• <div><p>Contractors commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cabinets-or-flooring-first.htm">install floors before cabinets</a> during a kitchen remodel. It&rsquo;s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.</p></div>

Q: Can vomit damage carpet?

• <div><p>Vomit contains organic fluids along with whatever else comes out with it. When left without cleaning, vomit, and its odor can reach deep into carpet fibers and become very difficult to remove without a deep cleaning. In some cases, the combination can cause permanent carpet staining. </p></div>

Q: What are floor transition strips called?

• <div><p>Transition strips are often called seam binders as they bridge the gap between two floor types. They are common between carpeting and hardwood or wood and tile. Transition strips prevent trips and falls and make the transition from each room appear seamless. They are also often used to even out height differences between floors.</p></div>

Q: Should I glue down my carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won&rsquo;t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It&rsquo;s already built into the carpet tile itself.</p></div>

James and Rhonda are hard workers. James noticed the floor wasn’t level and did the extra work to get the floor down. There were a few issues with the planks coming up but James had a fix for that. Hopefully they stay correct. Overall a good experience, would recommend.

They did show up and went thru the house for what I thought was a evaluation and free inspection. After they completed (20 min) they responded with a bill for $80 saying they didn't tell you there was a fee for this inspection. When asked if anything was found he said "not what they have seen."...

We went through Lowe's for Ceramic Tile. They subbed it out but we did our tile flooring through Lowe's about a week ago. We paid $1014.40. The contractor did a really nice job and everything was good.

"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!"
