Should I replace or refinish my floors?

• <div><p>There are some circumstances that may require a full replacement of your hardwood floors, such as major flooding or crowning of the boards. Learn more about these specific situations in our article, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/costs-vs-benefits-hardwood-flooring-repair.htm"><i>Should You Repair Or Replace Your Hardwood Floors</i></a>, to identify whether or not it makes more sense to take on a refinishing project or completely replace them.</p></div>

Why don't you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Sometimes, it’s best to avoid putting flooring under cabinets or installing the cabinets first. Installing cabinets on top of the flooring can void the flooring warranty. This can be a costly problem, especially if accidental flooring damage occurs during installation. Also, it’s not a good idea to install cabinets over floating floors, such as laminate, that need room to expand and contract. Finally, avoiding installing flooring under kitchen cabinets is a more budget-friendly option as you will use fewer materials.</p></div>

Q: How much does an epoxy garage floor cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-flooring-costs-advantages-and-installation.htm">cost of an epoxy garage floor</a> is about <b>$2,440</b>, but costs can range from <b>$730 to $5,300</b>, depending on the total square footage, required preparations, the type of epoxy, and the complexity of the design. You can expect the cost to epoxy your garage floor to range from $3 to $12 per square foot. An epoxy floor should last 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance and care.</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>

Q: What is the best subfloor for a mobile home?

• <div><p>Plywood is the best type of subfloor for a mobile home, though if you&rsquo;re installing flooring in a bathroom, you may want to install a vapor barrier or use a moisture-proof subfloor material like Amdry. OBS is similar, but it can swell when moisture is present. </p><p>Either way, old mobile home subflooring made from particleboard can cause issues with your joints. If you&rsquo;re replacing your subfloor, it&rsquo;s best to upgrade to plywood.</p></div>
