"Best home contractor service I have ever experienced. Their service was very affordable, completed on time, and fixed a dozen squeaks and a big dip in our floor in less than a day. Truly amazing. I wish all contractors were this dependable!"

"Larry was referred by a friend and he was awesome. He reponded to me immediately, went out of his way to fit me into his schedule faster than I could have ask and did an excellent job down to the last detail. As a landlord, I have a long list of contractors and Larry has made it into the top rated."

"Matt at Luminous Flooring was great to work with and accommodated our need to finish the floors in two stages. The wife and i couldn’t be more happy about how the finish came out. It really looks like a new floor and not a refinished one! Outstanding workmanship by Steve. He was punctual, clean, and friendly guy. But most importantly he was good at his job and highly competent. I would seriously not consider using another company than Luminous Flooring going forward in the future. We are just pleased as punch with how the whole process turned out and the floors again are outstanding. Thanks Matt, Steve, and team."

"John and his professional crew went far beyond meeting expectations. During the floor preparations, they excavated and repatched a decayed section of my footing and a y shaped crack in my flooring with professional lasting filler. During cabinet installation, Garage Experts not only installed the cabinets precisely to fit uneven walls, but provided at no extra cost several rows of add on slat wall tiers to better accommodate my wall hanging tools and equipment. John even designed a special slat to properly hang my extension ladder near the ground. Finally he installed a unique bike rack enabling my wife to load and unload her two wheeler without lifting bike. Service was courteous, thorough and on schedule. Could nt ask for a better job!

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Avoid steam cleaning unsealed hardwood, vinyl, and laminate floors unless the manufacturer explicitly states that a steam mop can be used.

Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.

When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.

Laminate flooring is susceptible to expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations. In the summer, laminate flooring is more likely to expand, possibly giving it a crowned or warped look. In the winter, when temperatures fall, the flooring can contract, revealing gaps between the boards. This is normal and should be expected when you install laminate flooring.

Sheet vinyl is among the most affordable and durable flooring options, with prices as low as $0.50 per square foot and a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. Other inexpensive and durable choices include standard vinyl plank ($2 to $7 per square foot), which mimics wood or stone and is great for high-traffic areas. Laminate flooring ($1 to $6 per square foot), linoleum, carpeting, and concrete can also be cost-effective options, with prices starting around $2 per square foot.

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.
