"I needed a small repair job on wood laminate. Most companies I talked to didn’t want to bother unless I was replacing the entire floor. Rustic Flooring ( Marcel ) came out , sent his craftsmen out and did the job beautifully!!! They are skillful, courteous and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Marcel and his team."

"The job was done to its perfection. My cherry wood flooring is more difficult than normal to refinish but Mike and his buddy made it look brand new and the whole project was communicated clearly and Mike also provide followup calls to make sure things are good after the project is done. Definitely recommend for any kind of flooring projects!"

"Called Mr. Carpet about two weeks ago and received a phone call back from Mary in less than 12 hours.  She set up the appointment for Bob to come out and measure the various area slated for carpeting.  Bob arrived on time, took his shoes off and began measuring the areas for replacement.  He then showed up various samples of carpeting from three large sample books.  He also broke down his estimate to exclude some areas that we thought we would hold off on replacing.  We eventually decided to have all the areas re-carpeted so that the carpeting would flow from one area to the other.
Got a call the day before the carpeting was to be installed telling me that Carlos and his team would be doing the work and would be at the house between 9-10am.  Next morning Carlos called and told us he would be there with his team of two other workers at 8:45 which was fine with us.  They came in and immediately began relocating the furniture using profession moving techniques including runners put under the china cabinets which were then moved to another area.  Each guy had his own job and they worked very good together.  By 11 AM they had all the padding and most of the carpeting installed except for the floating stairs that needed much more work. After laying the carpet they vacuumed all the floors and disposed of the old carpeting.  
I really liked working with these guys and they knew exactly what to do in every situation.

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

With proper care and maintenance, hardwood floors can last for decades or even centuries. Solid hardwood and tropical wood, in particular, have the potential to be sanded and refinished multiple times, extending their lifespan. However, the longevity of hardwood floors also depends on factors such as the wood species, quality of installation, and the level of foot traffic in that area of your home.

Professional installation ensures seamless fitting, extended carpet life, and compliance with workplace standards.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
