"What a treat to have a contractor be so professional from first contact with the office staff to the employees who completed the project. The price was fair and the quality of the workmanship was excellent! As we all know with remodels, once you remove / open up something there is usually an extra cost. There were sub-floor issues when they removed the tile. They quoted us a reasonable price for the sub-floor repairs and were able to complete the repairs as promised. The installers for were friendly, professional and did a great job making sure the project was clean when they left. We would definitely recommend them!"

"QF4L recently installed laminate in three bedrooms of my recently purchased home, a job totaling over 1000 square feet. This is the third time I have used them and they did an excellent job again. Sergey and Ivan are knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable, and very easy to work with, plus they provided extensive help on one of the jobs where I did the installation myself and needed instructions. Use them for you job and you won't go wrong."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

To prepare a floor for a steam mop, it’s essential to vacuum or sweep the floor thoroughly to remove dirt, dust, pet hair, and other debris. Skipping this step can lead to streaky results and may cause you to simply spread grime instead of removing it. Worse, hard debris can scratch or damage delicate floors like hardwood or laminate. Proper prep helps ensure a truly clean and protected surface.

Stain-resistant carpet might be worth it for your household if you have children or pets and expect spills to happen. While it may cost more than you expected upfront, you may save money in the long run if you have to replace your carpet less frequently (thanks to stains not absorbing down into the fibers). 

When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.

You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.
