Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</p></div>

Is it better to have carpet or hard floors in bedrooms?

• <div><p>The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">flooring types</a> (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.</p><p>On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.</p></div>

Q: Does the subfloor go under the toilet flange?

• <div><p>The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.</p></div>

Q: Can you put cork flooring on concrete?

• <div><p>Yes. So-called &ldquo;floating&rdquo; cork floors can be installed over concrete subfloor, though a polyethylene vapor barrier is required. This type of installation is achieved using the glue-down tiles, which are trickier for a DIY approach, so consider calling a professional to help you if you&rsquo;re planning to install your cork floor over concrete. </p></div>

Horrible, they sent me an inexperienced and headstrong technician who does not listen to the homeowner and does as per his will. I hired them to install EV charger and the electrician they sent put it in a spot where the cord does not reach the car. When I contacted them, the President, Alex...

If I could give ZERO stars to this company I would. Be aware! Where do I even start? We had a LOT of issues with Design Plus, their sales person and part owner; Laurie, and their contractor. They are quick to demand payment, but offer poor service, absolutely no follow-up/communication and lack...

Prairie State was a pleasure to work with. They provided me three windows for a great price and installed them promptly with no snags or problems. I would highly recommend them and I will be using them again in the future.

Spencer and his crew always do a fantastic job for a very resonable honest price. J-Horn has done lots of different jobs on my farm, including solar panels installation and maintenance. Always very satisfied with our experiences with J-Horn.

Granite installed was gritty and Mr Murray promised to fix issue on 4 occasions. When it was obvious that no solution but replacement was the order of the day he ran away. We still stuck with gritty granite. See BBB complaint which he refused a mediator.

They seem to do good work, but they were HORRIBLE at communication. We waited for more than a month for them to start our job, all the while being assured every Friday afternoon that come Monday morning, they would be there and "camp out" until the job was done. Never happened. They were start...
