"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

Sometimes, professional floor cleaning isn't enough to remove all the set-in grime and odors that have accumulated over the years. In other instances, your flooring might be nearing the end of its lifespan after more than a decade. If that's the case, it might be time to replace your flooring and start fresh. 

The cost to install flooring ranges from $1,500 to $4,460 for a 500-square-foot room. The overall price you pay depends on the size of your room and the flooring type you choose.

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

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.

If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a bathroom remodeling project, but your timeline depends on your bathroom’s size and layout.

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.
