"I started with looking for someone to install flooring we had picked out somewhere else, but had not purchase yet. Dan came over and was willing to do the job, but when we showed him the sample of what we thought we wanted he suggested we take a look at the samples he had. We are so glad we went with his suggestion, our floors are beautiful! The workmanship of his crew is top notch and fast. I highly recommend Floor Coverings International."

Customers say: Quality work

"Miguel is very friendly and knowledgeable. His team is hard-working and diligent. The floors took a while to dry but they were patient. Just be ready for some heavy duty smellsâ - especially with oil-based finishing. The end result is some very nice looking floors!"

"I reached out to Captain Coatings about two weeks ago to get a new flake epoxy floor done in my 4,000+ SF warehouse. I spoke to Jack on the phone and he was able to come check out my floor within 24 hours. He turned around gave me a bid within another 24 hours and started my floor the day after that. Jack reached out and let me know when he’d show up prior to showing up each day, providing me with daily updates and photos, and got the job done for 25% lower than my other two bids. The floor turned out great and I’d recommend captain coatings to anybody needing their floor done."

"Peter our sales person was very friendly, low pressure and informative. The installers were quick and got the job done in 1 day. We had our hallway and 2 bedrooms done with Empire and happy with the turnout. We would recommend them to others looking to update their flooring."

Flooring Installation FAQs, answered by experts

No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don’t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it’s level, depending on the extent of the damage.

To prevent your dining room carpet from slipping, consider using rug pads or grippers underneath to provide traction and stability. Additionally, ensure the carpet is properly sized and secured to the floor to minimize movement. Regularly check and readjust the rug to maintain its position and safety under your dining room table.

If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you’re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that’s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route.
