Q: Can I put my old carpet out on my regular garbage day?

• <div><p>Most cities accept old carpet as bulk trash, typically without any nails or glue on the base of the carpet. You may be required to request a specific pickup and wrap the carpet into specific bags. You can also visit your local recycling center and pay a small fee to have the carpet materials recovered. </p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of laminate flooring?

• <div><p>The life expectancy of your laminate flooring is <b>10 to 30 years,</b> depending on how well you maintain it. Unlike hardwood flooring, you cannot refinish laminate to prolong its lifespan. So while laminate is more budget-friendly, it does not last as long as hardwood. You can increase the lifespan of your floor by maintaining a regular cleaning schedule, using the right cleaning products, and wiping up spills promptly.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable kitchen flooring option?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;re looking for kitchen floor ideas on a budget, they can suggest products and materials within your price range. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between 40-oz and 60-oz carpet?

• <div><p>The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. </p></div>

Q: Does removing tile damage the subfloor?

• <div><p>No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn&rsquo;t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.</p><p>If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it&rsquo;s in good enough condition to lay new tile.</p></div>
