"Lucy's Flooring delivered what they said. Their workmanship was impeccable. At the end of the day everything was neat and clean. I highly recommend them if you need your hardwood floors refinished. My floors were installed in 1750 and they now look like they were just put in."

Customers say: Quality work

"Screened the hardwood floors and applied lacquer... Cons: Under quoted, and asked for more money. Took longer than originally scheduled. Several spots on the floor were missed with lacquer. Lacquer scratches off way too easily. Some slight bubbling on a few smaller areas. Pros: Did a very good job excepting the above cons. Did not get lacquer on any molding. Did a very thorough job of screening the floor and removing some old paint specs."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of your laminate flooring is 10 to 30 years, 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.

The fastest way to remove carpet is to remove carpet in strips instead of trying to remove it in one large piece. Wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, use a utility knife to cut the carpet in long strips, and then pull at the edge of the strip to loosen the staples or glue. Carpet-cutting razor blades are best on your utility knife for the quickest removal.

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.
