Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>

Q: Does everything get wet in a wet room?

• <div><p>No, everything doesn&rsquo;t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It&rsquo;s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn&rsquo;t housed in an enclosed space, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won&rsquo;t get wet. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>Bamboo flooring has several disadvantages to consider. It is highly susceptible to moisture and humidity due to its absorbent nature, which can cause it to warp, buckle, swell, expand, or contract, potentially creating gaps in the floor. For this reason, it is best suited for dry climates. Bamboo can also scratch and dent easily. Aesthetically, it offers fewer color and style options compared to wood, laminate, or vinyl flooring, which can be a limitation for some homeowners. Additionally, bamboo flooring may discolor over time, especially in high-traffic areas.</p></div>

Mark was knowledgeable about how to finish our concrete floor to get it to shine! He knew what products we needed to effectively stain proof our floor. He was timely, kind, and always cleaned up after himself. I would highly recommend.

Victoria was very professional. She gave me a quote that I was happy to see. Then she informed me that If there was not a stable sub floor it would be X amount more. Unfortunately it was. Then in the process of doing the job they found a couple of things more. More money, more time, but instead...

I'm out of state, and I haven't seen the installation yet; however, they worked with me through some difficulties caused because I wasn't on site. I'm very thankful for their persistence in solving problems when I wasn't there. Very polite. They were great about keeping me informed. On time...

Well the sale was awesome. The tech that did the install did not have the door lock that I wanted. He told me he would call back and see if I wanted the lock and that he would come and install it, however the tech never called me back.
