Q: Does carpet tile need padding?

• <div><p>Because carpet tiles are designed to adhere to the subfloor directly, it&rsquo;s usually not a good idea to install padding under them. Some carpet tiles come with padding attached to the tile if you prefer a cushier walking experience. In some cases, you can use a compact underlayment beneath your tiles, but you would likely need help from a pro to accomplish this type of installation. </p></div>

Q: What is the longest-lasting flooring for a kitchen?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the longest-lasting kitchen flooring materials. However, while these materials can withstand a good amount of daily wear and tear, they&rsquo;re likely to crack if you drop something heavy on them, and they&rsquo;re pricier than many other options. On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-buy-and-install-ceramic-tile.htm">installing a ceramic tile kitchen floor costs</a> between $1,240 and $11,250. Other durable kitchen flooring options include natural stone and concrete.</p></div>

Q: How much does commercial carpet installation cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth re-stretching the carpet?

• <div><p>Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it&rsquo;s probably better to replace it altogether. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Most carpets are expected to last</a> anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it&rsquo;s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one.</p></div>

Q: Where can I rent a floor sander?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.u-sand.com/rental-centers/">rental program</a> 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&mdash;while the costs average out to a similar range across dealerships, some of them offer significantly better rates for long-term rentals than others.</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...
