Q: What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won&rsquo;t be protected from wear on the underside.

An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

Q: What is the best solvent for removing carpet glue?

• <div><p>The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.</p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix discolored carpet?

• <div><p>Use baking soda and vinegar or shaving cream to fix your carpet stains. But if you prefer a quicker solution, rent a carpet shampooer and use an enzyme-based cleaner to treat and resolve your discolored carpet issue. </p></div>

Q: How long should an Oriental rug last?

• <div><p>An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.</p></div>

Replaced tile and carpet with laminate flooring throughout large portion of our home, including 5 inch baseboard. Did a real nice job. Little things like the way the baseboard was wrapped around the kitchen cabinets so that it did not look like it was "added on" was impressive and appreciated....

"Mr. Dubinsky was professional from the very start! He did a great job of explaining when I had questions and relieved and concerns I had about the job. We had put off having flooring installed because a good portion of it was ceramic tile and glued linoleum. We imagined it taking days to demolish all of the floors. I couldn’t believe it when his crew completed that back breaking work in one day! We were very impressed with how precise his crew installed our Pergola flooring and baseboards. Absolutely flawless!"
