"Andrew did a great job from start to finish. He gave us his honest advice and insights about our flooring project and worked out a plan to get the best outcome while staying within our budget. He was always on time, efficient, and cleaned up at the end of every day. His tools and materials are excellent and his attention to detail is exceptional. He communicated with us very clearly regarding every step of the three week project and is courteous and super knowledgeable. The finish work on our stairs was particularly challenging and Andrew took the time to make it perfect. You won't find anyone better. He is a true artist with wood."

"Wow! What a breathe of fresh air to work with David & New Life Flooring, a flooring professional with 25 years experience. After being highly frustrated after multiple calls to and delays from my original flooring company to repair my buckled flooring (about 10 sq ft) due to a water leak, I was ecstatic that David (New Life Flooring) returned my 1st call within an hour, scheduled an evaluation for the following day, and personally repaired my floor flawlessly one day later in 3 hours! You d never know it had ever been damaged. Throughout the process, David kept me well informed, listened to my concerns, and responded to all of my questions. He was thorough, and the work area cleaned to perfection after the job. I highly recommend David, and New Life Flooring, if you ever have any hardwood floor concerns."

"I was very indecisive about what color and product I wanted. Mike Sarafin was extremely patient and offered an objective opinion only if asked. I never felt pushed one way or the other. The workmanship was immaculate! He was so good, I referred him to my mother and she was extremely pleased with her finished product as well. I will definitely use Universal Floors again and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone."

"The vinyl floor plank installation was completed in the time estimated and it looks beautiful! BCB Flooring worked well in coordination with ServPro of Central Garden Grove which had to complete some reconstruction work before the flooring could be installed."

"Subject I had an excellent experience working with this wooden floor specialist Bryon. From start to finish, he was professional, personable, and extremely accommodating. He took the time to clearly explain the damage to my flooring, what repairs were needed, and provided an accurate and honest assessment of both the scope of work and the timeframe to complete it. The job was completed efficiently and exactly as described, with great attention to detail. The repaired flooring looks fantastic, and the work was done on schedule with no surprises. I truly appreciated his professionalism, clear communication, and respect for my home. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of wooden floor repairs or restoration. See 3 pics for damaged wooden floor and fourth picture of completed floor to the left of photo. He did a suburb job and yes, I will be hiring and recommending him to my friends, relatives and neighbors. Best Regards, Darryl Kimble of Hawthorne, CA"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

It depends on what’s important to you. For instance, if you’re looking for the lowest-priced carpet material, consider polyester. Alternatively, you could go with olefin (also known as polypropylene), another synthetic carpet material that costs about the same as polyester. Otherwise, if durability is the priority, nylon or wool would be a better choice. 

Not sure what you need? A local carpet installer can explain the difference between various carpet types and help you decide what’s best for your home.

Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their carpet disposal process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).

Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation—these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it’s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.

In a wet room, you need a floor that won’t sustain damage with constant exposure to water, but your options are normally the same as with a bathroom. Ceramic and porcelain tile are suitable options, as are natural stone like granite and marble, much like in a standard bathroom. Since a wet room’s floor is more likely to be wet, you should choose a flooring option with some texture to reduce how slippery the material gets.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.
