"Not only was Brian quick to respond but he was able to fit my job in quickly and when completed the correction to my carpet was astonishing. I wouldn't hesitate to have him back for any of my flooring work."

"I am very pleased with the quality of work done in my condo by Abide. Neither the walls nor the cabinets were easy to work with. Wallpaper needed to be stripped and the affected walls needed to be re-textured. The cabinets were old and very carelessly painted by the previous owner. His patience, attention to detail, and quality of work was most impressive. I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them when I am ready to replace the flooring."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Transition strips are often called seam binders as they bridge the gap between two floor types. They are common between carpeting and hardwood or wood and tile. Transition strips prevent trips and falls and make the transition from each room appear seamless. They are also often used to even out height differences between floors.

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality. 

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.
