"Very smooth. Steve and his team did a great job from quote to completion. Easy to communicate with and helpful every step of the way for someone who has not used this product before. Continue to get great compliments from our customers as to how the floor has transformed the feel of the office. Highly recommend for either commercial or residential jobs!"

"Our last coat (3rd) of polyurethane went on today and we literally just spent 15 minutes walking around our house and admiring the absolute beautiful job that Best Choice did with our floors. Easily the best upgrade to our home we could have done. Other companies that quoted us said that they would not be able to get the bevels out of the pre treated boards installed in our house or get the color we wanted because of that. Best Choice Flooring not only was able to achieve that beautifully but at also a competitive price. Already recommending them to family and friends."

"After receiving an estimate and selecting flooring at the place that we were referred to, Tom at The Longest Yard just ghosted us. He even said he wanted the job and we never heard from them again. I would definitely not recommend this company."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Houses naturally settle over time, but they should settle uniformly with no apparent settling in one spot. If your floor is uneven but only in a particular area of your home, differential settlement could be the problem. This can be caused by improper drainage, erosion, expanding soil, earthquake activity, or poor construction techniques.

Plywood is the best type of subfloor for a mobile home, though if you’re installing flooring in a bathroom, you may want to install a vapor barrier or use a moisture-proof subfloor material like Amdry. OBS is similar, but it can swell when moisture is present. 

Either way, old mobile home subflooring made from particleboard can cause issues with your joints. If you’re replacing your subfloor, it’s best to upgrade to plywood.

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.

Yes, professional services include leveling and moisture testing before installation.
