"We hired Shirley and her wonderful 2-man crew to pull out old carpet and install our new floor. We had attended a workshop Kahala Floors conducted and we appreciated the personal attention to detail during the workshop. We could not be happier with the scheduling, the removal and disposal of all old material, the care of proper installation, plus the results. Her crew began on the day scheduled and finished the project 2 days ahead of predictions. At all times the crew kept us in touch with their plans and we worked around each other to make this all happen while my wife and I continued to live in the apartment. Kahala Floors is both professional and personable at the same time. They deliver what they promise and the results make us happy each passing day. And, if that werenʻt enough, their quote (which they stuck to through completion) was thousands of dollars below the other big, name-brand flooring company. Stay Local!"

"Big renovation job done in a month. Lots of energy, lots of can-do. Lightening fast and professional flooring work, all by himself. Did a ton of extra small jobs for us too, from installing bathroom cabinets to fabricating a dishwasher cabinet. Also brought in a fantastic painter, plumber and electrician as needed. No problem was too big, very experienced and confident. Got the job done!"

"We love our dining room! Kyle was able to transform our spare bedroom into a beautiful dining room complete with upper and lower cabinets, drawers, a butcher block countertop, extra electrical outlets, and space for a refrigerator! He also tiled the entire first floor with a beautiful herringbone designed pattern and it is beautiful! Our guests are constantly complimenting our home and we love it! Kyle was very easy to work with and very responsive to all of our needs. We would definitely recommend him for any remodeling work you need and we will definitely be working with him again!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

The best flooring for radiant heat systems is tile, including porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. These materials are excellent heat conductors, retain warmth well, and are waterproof, which prevents mold or rot in case of leaks from a hydronic system. Unlike wood, they do not pose a fire safety risk if the heating system overheats. Ceramic tile is a particularly popular choice as it is inexpensive, easy to install, and available in many styles, making it ideal for spaces like bathrooms. Other flooring types that work well with radiant heat include laminate, engineered wood, and vinyl. If you are installing radiant heating over a concrete slab, especially in a basement, it is advisable to install a vapor barrier first to prevent issues with moisture and condensation.

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.

In addition to local hardware stores, many big-box chains and national equipment rental companies carry floor sanders for rent. Additionally, U-Sand, manufacturers of a random orbital floor sander, operate a rental program in partnership with a number of different regional chains and local outlets. Make sure to thoroughly compare the prices at all the stores nearest you—while the costs average out to a similar range across dealerships, some of them offer significantly better rates for long-term rentals than others.

A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.
