Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</p></div>

Q: What cleaning products should never be used on carpets?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-you-should-never-use-clean-carpet.htm">cleaning products that you should never use on carpets</a> because you may accidentally ruin them. Do not use bleach, dish soap, laundry detergent, and abrasive cleaners on carpet. For more guidance on products to avoid, consult a local carpet cleaning company for expert advice. </p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove tile flooring?

• <div><p>As with timing, the cost to remove tile flooring varies depending on a number of factors, including size and type, adhesive type, condition of the tile and adhesive, and the method used to remove it. If you&rsquo;re doing it yourself, you can expect the job to cost only the price of any tools, materials, or equipment that you don&rsquo;t already have. If you&rsquo;re hiring a professional, expect to pay between <b>$2 and $7 per square foot</b> for labor costs, along with added fees for materials.</p></div>

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home&rsquo;s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer&rsquo;s personal preferences.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of cork floors?

• <div><p>Cork floors last up to 40 years with proper maintenance, which includes sealing the floors every two or three years and cleaning up any spills as soon as possible. If you have pets, your cork floors may not last as long. While cork can last decades, warranties on cork flooring offer limited coverage for 5 to 25 years.</p></div>

They did a GREAT job of repairing and painting the walls. After the paint dried on the walls, I could not see where the damage had been. They will get our business when we are ready to repair the flooring in our house. They were very nice.
