Q: Which is better, laminate or linoleum?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laminate-vs-linoleum.htm">linoleum versus laminate</a>, the better choice depends on your personal needs. Linoleum tends to last longer but is more difficult to install. Laminate is less eco-friendly and less durable, but it is easy to install without a professional. </p><p>Both options come in a wide variety of styles, but many prefer the look of laminate. Laminate and linoleum are affordable flooring options compared to hardwood or tile, but laminate costs less at about $0.70 to $2 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Do services include subfloor preparation?

• <div><p>Yes, professional services include leveling and moisture testing before installation.</p></div>

Q: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Is thick carpet padding better?

• <div><p>No, thick carpet padding isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. </p><p>For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it&rsquo;s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a>.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain and clean flooring alternatives to carpet?

• <div><p>Each flooring material has its own maintenance requirements and cleaning techniques. For example, hardwood floors may require occasional refinishing and specialized cleaning products, while vinyl and laminate are easy to clean with regular sweeping and mopping. Concrete and natural stone, on the other hand, may need periodic sealing to maintain their appearance and durability. Follow manufacturer recommendations and utilize appropriate cleaning methods to preserve the integrity of your chosen flooring material.</p></div>

The project overall went well. I think the issue of the unlevel floor could have been analyzed better before starting to lay the tile, but in the end it was well corrected. All in all I would say Steve did an excellent job. He was careful, honest, reliable and has an excellent work ethic.
