Q: Will installing laminate over carpet affect the resale value of my home?

• <div><p>Yes, installing laminate over carpet could negatively affect the resale value of your home. It&rsquo;s no surprise that homebuyers prefer flooring that someone has installed according to industry standards. Laminate over carpet may raise concerns about the quality and stability of the flooring, impacting the overall perceived value of the property. </p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>

Q: How long do hardwood floors last?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-do-hardwood-floors-last.htm">life span of hardwood flooring</a> mainly depends on the type of hardwood you&rsquo;ve installed. Solid hardwood flooring options can last between 30 and 100 years, whereas engineered hardwoods need replacing every 20 to 30 years. If you&rsquo;re unsure whether to repair, refinish, or completely replace your existing hardwood floors, speak with a hardwood installer to determine your best course of action.</p></div>

Q: Can I install flooring myself?

• <div><p>While you certainly can install new flooring yourself, it may not always be the best idea. Since the condition of the floors is a significant component of your property&rsquo;s value, it&rsquo;s important that your project looks professionally done. If not, you run the risk of needing to have them replaced again before selling your home. If you&rsquo;re looking to save money on the cost of floor installation, consider removing the old flooring yourself to save on labor costs.</p></div>

Q: Why is my floor uneven in one spot?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Jon, Ler and Emanuel L were the crew who installed 5 piers on the corner of my house. They were very efficient, and left things looking exactly as before they did the job. I received updates as their work progressed.

The installer did a very good job. The only hang up was the bracket for my shower seat. The package was labeled for a right side bracket, but a left side bracket was inside the page. It was mislabeled at the warehouse. Certainly not the installers fault. Bath Planet scheduled a time to come...

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...

I decided to make the purchase though I did not need all of the equipment. The TRITON 9000 RS Generator/Compressor/Welder machine was what I really had my eye on. I had never seen a machine with so many functions before. The 10,000 gas generator is the machine I needed the most, but the other...
