"Josh did an excellent job installing our Luxury vinyl flooring in our kitchen. He even pulled out the refrigerator and stove to do under them. And he took all the flooring away. Extremely happy. And price was good to."
"We are extremely happy with the work that was done. We had removed a tile entry and had Gore hardwood weave in new hardwood to go with the flooring we installed 20 years ago. Plus the stairway to the lower and upper levels. The whole wood floor area was then sanded and refinished. It is absolutely beautiful. We could not be happier. The team was always respectful, on time, performed all the work efficiently and with great care. We put together a schedule and they performed to the schedule. We will be doing work in another area later this year and they will be the first we call to do the project."
"Richard and his team were a joy to work with. They were honest throughout and we are very satisfied with the floor. It looks amazing! Would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a high quality garage floor in a very timely manner. Not a single complaint!"
"Jerry explained that our problem was beyond stretching the carpet. He suggested contacting the company that sold us the carpet and Karastan. That is what we are doing. He believes that the installation was improperly done, but that we could have a manufacture defect as well. So we took his advice and contacted the appropriate people."
"Gerardo poured the floor in our basement as well as repaired/finished the walls in the basement as we have been remodeling this space in a 100 plus year old home. He is very prompt in his response and shows up when he states. His team is very hardworking and courteous. When the concrete pump truck couldn't make the schedule his team mixed the concrete by hand to keep the schedule he stated he would keep. I highly recommend Gerardo and his team for your project!"
"Excellent team, led by Hugo, who installed what was scoped to be a 2 day job in one day. Flooring looks excellent, baseboard reinstallation was great."
"We wanted the garage floor done before we moved into a new house. They worked us on schedule and color selection even though we were out of state. They kept their promises."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
You might be wondering, “Is laminate flooring toxic?” The product does contain formaldehyde, which is found in the resins used to bind the wood fibers together. But the chance of overexposure and adverse reactions, such as allergy- or asthma-like symptoms, is low unless you are exposed to formaldehyde in other places, i.e., if you work with formaldehyde regularly outside the home. Keep in mind, too, that many household products have the potential to pose a health hazard, such as cleaning products.
Furniture pads and rugs are simple ways to protect your floors as they prevent furniture from scratching them, reducing wear and tear. The same goes for trimming your pet’s nails since they can scratch the floors as well. You can also apply a protective finish every few years to maintain the floor’s appearance.
While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.
As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.
Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
The most affordable kitchen flooring option is sheet vinyl due to its low material and installation costs, followed by laminate flooring and vinyl planks. Be sure to get quotes from flooring companies in your area for exact estimates for your kitchen floor. If you let them know that you’re looking for kitchen floor ideas on a budget, they can suggest products and materials within your price range.
