"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."

"FloorMaxx is OUTSTANDING! I am getting ready to sell my home (maybe), so I had FloorMaxx refinish my floors because they were scratched up and had water damage. They now look brand new. FloorMaxx was prompt, efficient, reasonably priced and did a great job. Every realtor I interviewed commented on how great my floors look. All of my friends that have come over have been floored (pun intended) by how amazing my floors look.. This may sound crazy, but now that my home looks so good I’m not sure I want to move!"

I would definitely use M Craft again."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.

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.

Yes, marble floors do increase home values. In fact, if you install marble flooring in your home, you can expect to double your investment. Homebuyers love marble, like other types of stone flooring, because it’s timeless, beautiful, wears well, and is considered a luxury product. Marble is expensive to install, but if your house and location attract buyers looking for luxurious, upscale vibes, adding marble flooring can only raise your property value and give you a great return on your investment.

No subflooring is perfectly level, but you should never ignore any noticeable floor sagging. Most contractors deem a floor that slopes by a 1/2 inch to 1 inch per 20 feet of floor acceptable. Further investigation is required when the slope or sag is more than one and a half inches.

To prevent your dining room carpet from slipping, consider using rug pads or grippers underneath to provide traction and stability. Additionally, ensure the carpet is properly sized and secured to the floor to minimize movement. Regularly check and readjust the rug to maintain its position and safety under your dining room table.
