"The entire process went pretty well. Bob (sales) called ahead of the appointed time in order to arrive early (yea!), and the installation team (JJ and two younger guys) arrived a bit earlier than expected (yea!). They quickly moved my big furniture and removed the old carpeting and pad. About seven hours later I had brand new carpeting to walk on! After I thoroughly vacuumed the new carpeting I didn't find any real problems except for one visible "seam peak" in the main floor area (and I believe this may become less visible over time)."

We could not be happier with the results!!"

"M Craft did a great job installing a new wood floor in my kitchen and refinishing the existing wood floor throughout my first floor. They threaded the new floor into the existing floor and matched the wood perfectly. We are so happy with the results and recommend Adrian and his sons. We've had several wood contractors in my house over the last 20 years and they are the best crew yet."

"The end job was excellent.  They came every day, stayed all day until the job was finished.  We are very happy with the finished product.  However, they did not return calls promptly and were going to leave the job unfinished.  By unfinished I mean they were going to leave without properly  installing all the shoe  molding.  They were going to leave a putty joint between the floor and baseboard showing.  They also charged us for the additional shoe molding which we believed was included in the original price. I do
recommend them justmake sure you include everything you want  written in the contract."

"I became acquainted with DAC Flooring when my wooden kitchen floors needed repair due to water damage from dishwasher. Daniel reached out quickly and came by the same day. Floor was replaced with durable vinyl. Remaining wood floor was sanded and refinished. Decided to replace old carpet in 2 bedrooms with wood floors to match existing. Finished product is almost a perfect match! Daniel is also a contractor and his team of experts painted my entire condo ceilings to floors. Every person who worked on my project showed great workmanship with attention to detail. Their cleanliness is remarkable! Impressed with speed and quality of work. Highly recommended"

Flooring Installation FAQs, answered by experts

The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment. This type of carpet padding is durable enough to endure wear and tear on hard concrete yet soft enough to provide comfort underfoot. It also creates insulation from sound and temperature, providing warmth despite the concrete’s cold surface.

The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future carpet repair costs, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.

Choosing the right carpet involves assessing room usage, desired comfort levels, durability requirements, and stylistic preferences. Carpet fiber types and density should also be considered during the decision-making process.

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.
