Q: How do you raise a sunken living room floor?

• <div><p>Raising a sunken living room requires help from a professional contractor. The expert will remove existing flooring and trim, reroute utility lines with respect to the new floor level, pour concrete to fill the recessed space, and then let the concrete cure. After the foundation is raised up, the contractor will install the new utility lines, repaint the walls, if necessary, and finish the area with flooring and trim.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special floor in a wet room?

• <div><p>In a wet room, you need a floor that won&rsquo;t sustain damage with constant exposure to water, but your options are normally the same as with a bathroom. Ceramic and porcelain tile are suitable options, as are natural stone like granite and marble, much like in a standard bathroom. Since a wet room&rsquo;s floor is more likely to be wet, you should choose a flooring option with some texture to reduce how slippery the material gets.</p></div>

"
My wife and I were very pleased with the services provided by Premier Flooring. Tim and Todd were very accommodating in helping us to find the best carpeting for our home at a very extremely competitive price. While Premier Flooring has a small shop compared to others, they can provide you with about any brand or type of flooring product. But, the most important part of any flooring project is the installation, and Todd the installer was exceptional. We chose carpeting with a pattern without knowing it requires a little extra effort to make sure the pattern lines up correctly. Fortunately, Todd had the experience and pride of workmanship to make sure the splices all lined up correctly. Even though the project took more time than originally anticipated, Todd didn't cut corners just to get it. done, and that reflects what he knows is the expectation of the owner. What really matters is when it is all done and your wife turns to you and says "Honey, this really exceeded all my expectations!".

"David is excellent and very budget-conscious. In addition to the paint, which looks great, he spent at least 10 hours repairing damage caused by my flooring contractor (and somehow managed to make an entire houseful of badly damaged trim look nearly as good as new). All work was done professionally and at a very reasonable cost. Punchlist items were taken care of promptly.
