"I recently had my basement flooring installed and refinishing the 2nd floor bedrooms with oil-based poly semi-gloss by Jarius and his company Lakefront Legacy Floors, and I could not be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, he was very communicative, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my concerns. He was patient with me, explaining various aspects of the installation, checking-in if I did not understand anything.  And as a first-time homeowner, I have never felt so relieved to have him do the work and to know my house will be taken cared of. When it came to the selection of flooring options, it was overwhelming, however with his expert guidance he made the process easy and helped me choose the perfect style for my home. The installation process was seamless; the crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left my space spotless. The quality of the flooring and refinishing is outstanding it has transformed my home into a warm and inviting haven. I genuinely appreciated the follow-up care he provided (texts/photos), ensuring everything met my expectations. I highly recommend Jarius to anyone looking for top-notch flooring, fair pricing, exceptional service and a genuine individual."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

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.

Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color.

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.

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.
