"My kitchen floor was in deplorable condition; David and his team turned it into a floor that looks brand new. He did an amazing job! Not only that, they set up so that not a single speck of wood dust escaped the work area - amazing. Their clean-up, too, was great with nothing for me to do, but return the things removed from the area refinished. This was one of the rare instances of a perfect job."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.

Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.

When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.

Contractors commonly install floors before cabinets during a kitchen remodel. It’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.

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

Vinyl floors last between 10 and 25 years on average when you care for them and protect them against water damage, though higher-quality vinyl can last longer.

If your vinyl flooring has heavy wear and tear or if it's peeling, it's a good time to do a reinstallation. Other signs your flooring is nearing the end of its lifespan include bubbling, heat-damaged planks or tiles, and discoloration.
