"Danny and his staff at Modern Quality Flooring have delivered quality craftsmanship multiple times while working on floors in our home. They are always quick to deliver estimates, give reliable timelines, arrive early to complete their job, and do beautiful work. They have installed wood flooring throughout entire floors in our house, patched, sanded and stained existing hardwood, and are planning to install laminate flooring in our basement next. We trust them to guide us in all future flooring endeavors."

"Alex and Mario are the best! I hired them to refinish approximately 1,000 square feet of hardwood flooring. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was beyond what I expected. They finished the job on time and the end result was simply amazing. I highly recommend and I will be using them again in the future and have also referred them to my neighbors!"

"From the start it was an easy and positive experience. We were shown several samples to choose from and we were given ample time to choose with no pressure sales pitch. After we chose our flooring, we received discounts for being Angie's List members (yay!) and an additional discount for paying by check. They had the best price of the companies we had looked at before. We were able to choose the days we wanted for installation with no problems. Installation went smoothly also. It was estimated to take two days and it took two days. The installers were very professional. Overall we are extremely happy with the experience and the final result, a great looking laminate floor!"

"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!"

"Stunning results. We had red oak flooring over 70 years old refinished for the first time ever. They turned out beautiful. Far surpassed expectations. No mess, got out old water stains. Very pleased."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

The life expectancy of your laminate flooring is 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain it. Unlike hardwood flooring, you cannot refinish laminate to prolong its lifespan. So while laminate is more budget-friendly, it does not last as long as hardwood. You can increase the lifespan of your floor by maintaining a regular cleaning schedule, using the right cleaning products, and wiping up spills promptly.

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

It depends on the kind you choose, but some types of carpet padding can last for decades. For instance, flat rubber—which is dense, durable, and higher-priced than other padding materials—has a life span of up to 20 years. On the other hand, prime foam—a lower-priced material that often comes free with a carpet installation—lasts less than five years on average.

Because cork flooring has a low-impact feel and is water-resistant, it is a good choice for kitchens. It makes standing to chop vegetables and stir soup for long periods of time feel much easier on your feet and legs. But keep in mind that spills can cause cork to swell if they sit for too long, so if you’re a messy home chef, keep plenty of towels nearby to keep your cork floors in good condition.

If you live in a region with high humidity, carpet bubbling can occur regularly. A dehumidifier can help keep your carpet flat during the most humid months.
