"I have over 30 years woodworking experience, but never with floors, so I tried it, and quickly found out it is a different animal entirely. I didn't have the right tools, experience, or feel for the job. But Lanning Hardwood Flooring does. Trust me, floor refinishing is not a do it yourself job. Save yourself the time, frustration, and money - call Lanning. They finished the job in two days - a 70-year-old oak floor that was warped with water stains. They got it level and most of the water stains are gone, the bad water stains (that honestly were probably stained with a lot more than just water) are virtually hidden in the color of wood stain they recommended - the floor looks fantastic. If I ever have another hardwood floor refinishing job, my first call will be to Lanning."

"Cole, Abraham and Jaizzar from Encore Concrete Coatings did an excellent job of removing our old garage floor coating, and then applying our new floor coatings . Hard working crew, no shortcuts, amazing final product. Almost too nice to cover up with cars and garage stuff! So satisfied with the results. Would recommend Encore to anyone."

"I reached out to Rescue Concrete for an estimate and they showed up the next day to do so and took the time to explain what it is they do and how it would be applied. We had the pleasure to deal with Max who was amazing throughout the entire process. He was a great communicator and the finished product was beautiful. I highly recommend anyone who is planning on getting their floors flaked and epoxied (not sure if thatâ s exactly what itâ s called) to contact Rescue Concrete to do so. Iâ d give them 10 stars if I could!! Will definitely be using them again on future projects."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.

A laminate floor will lift if it hasn’t been installed with the proper expansion gaps around the room’s perimeter. Laminate flooring naturally expands and contracts when indoor temperatures fluctuate, and without adequate room for expansion, the planks can lift off the subfloor. To avoid this, ensure your flooring installer knows to leave the proper expansion gaps.

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.

The need to replace your flooring depends on the type of flooring and the amount of wear and tear it experiences through foot traffic. For example, you should replace carpet every ten years, but other, more durable options like tile can last up to 30 years. It’s best to speak with your flooring installation professional to determine the best course for replacing your flooring. 

If you’re doing a full bathroom remodel, the flooring will go in before the vanity and any other bathroom cabinetry. This will ensure that the same floor is present across your whole bathroom should you ever tear out your vanity and start again. 

If you can only budget for one or the other, you can still replace just the vanity in your bathroom. Just keep in mind that if you decide to replace your flooring later, you’ll need to tear out the vanity to avoid having mismatched floors.
