"An outstanding team! Always arrive promptly, ask questions & pay attention to reply. Attention to detail, with outstanding repair of riser in 100 + y/o oak stairs by placing quarter round oak wherever risers meet tread. Excellent transition from new oak floor to master bathroom with tile floor. Assistance with replacement of furniture after job was completed, so that flooring was pristine after this was done. To say that I am pleased isn't adequate to describe how happy I am with the result. This is a first rate business, with employees who know exactly how to take care of flooring."

"Alex and Mario took on a very complicated rebuild of my floors and subfloors due to extensive water damage. The results are exceptional! I will have them back shortly to perform sanding, stain and sealing to the upstairs wood flooring to match to finish the special touches they provide - Thank you from the bottom of my heart"

"Very happy with the new floor! Mike came out the next day and even went with me to Floor & Decor to help pick out the new flooring! He got the job done in 2 days and made sure that everything was good before he left. He even installed some round moldings at the bottom of the baseboards that he had on hand to polish off the new floor! Excellent work, would definitely hire again!"

"Floor Tailor is a small company with incredible expertise, service and commitment to complete customer satisfaction. We had them do a relatively small job (basement stairs) and they treated us like we were their biggest customer. Now, we are getting ready to carpet the rest of the house and put down hardwood floors in other areas. We will not talk to anyone else but CHUCK at Floor Tailor!"

"I am writing this review nearly a year after they did the work. Michael was very pleasant to work with. When we moved into our condo I was pregnant with our first baby. We have an open floor plan with a large carpet area and Michael worked with us on picking a carpet and padding that would be comfortable, resist stains, and be easy on the eyes. He said we would be spending a lot of time on the floor with our baby, boy was he right! now that she is crawling everywhere and we sit down so much on the floor to play with her we are SO glad that we got a high-quality carpet and padding. It has held up beautifully and really is stain resistant. The floor refinishing guys did excellent work as well. They were fast and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone."

"Chris and his team did amazing work! Our floors are beautiful and they did a wonderful job with every detail. They went out of their way to match thresholds to the new floor color and they even fixed a closet door that had been broken for some time. Above and beyond a great job and I would recommend them to everyone!"

"I recommend Superior Hardwood Floors. George did a very good job explaining our options. The crew was very professional and clearly know well their work. We are very happy with the new floors. They look great and most importantly for us is that we got rid of the squeaky noises."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.

Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you’re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.
