What is the life expectancy of a subfloor?

• <div><p>A good subfloor can last 30 years or even longer, depending on the material. OSB should last a bit longer than plywood. However, OSB isn’t the best option for heavy flooring types like ceramic tile or stone. It’s also worth noting that regular moisture exposure will drastically reduce any subfloor's life span. </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to remove old laminate flooring?

• <div><p>Removing laminate flooring is fairly straightforward compared to removing other types of flooring. The planks click and lock into place, so you can pry them loose without much fuss. If you plan to reuse your flooring, you must be careful not to damage the plank or the locking mechanism that keeps it in place. If it&rsquo;s in good condition, you can reuse it in another room.</p></div>

Q: Can vomit damage carpet?

• <div><p>Vomit contains organic fluids along with whatever else comes out with it. When left without cleaning, vomit, and its odor can reach deep into carpet fibers and become very difficult to remove without a deep cleaning. In some cases, the combination can cause permanent carpet staining. </p></div>

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: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

I think it went very, very well. I was impressed with their prompt responsiveness and getting to the work promptly as well (we scheduled it for a week later, unheard of in my experience with other things since 2020). Very professional. Covered my downstairs neighbor's deck and trailing with drop...

it is 100 degrees outside today and our second floor is 73 degrees! Before we had this wonderful company add insulation it was 85 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside. Mike and his crew knew what we needed and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. Absolutely would hire them again!

He came when promised. He reset the hardware on the doors, ensuring their setting and tightness. Then he rehung the doors and re-installed on of the floor guides. He spent about thirty minutes doing so which was quicker than I could have done it back in the day.

Keith was very nice to work with, professional and friendly. He informed me of any irregularities in the floor and explained everything before doing it. The rooms were immaculate when he left. The floors are beautiful! I would recommend him highly. Thank you Keith!

Of the 8 flooring companies that I contacted only 3 responded. In case you think it was for something unusual, it was bamboo floor installation.

After our elderly dog passed away, I wanted to get my entire house cleaned to remove dog hair, odor,dog drool, and any stains. I was told that I would need an estimate because tile and wood flooring costs vary, so a serviceman would be at my house between 10 a.m. and noon. At 12:15, I called...

D and N were competitively priced and arrived every day to do hard work. The floors look fabulous -- the oil-based poly they used really brought out all the natural tones of the red oak and the satin-like finish is perfect -- not too shiny. They were able to take out all wear patterns that had...
