Q: Can you stretch carpet with furniture on it?

• <div><p>You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can&rsquo;t remove it all.</p></div>

Q: How much floor sag is acceptable?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it safer to have carpeted stairs compared to hard surfaces like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to convert feet to inches when I calculate square feet?

• <div><p>For rooms with an even number of feet (10 x 12, for example), you can technically just multiply them together to get the number of square feet in the room (10 feet x 12 feet = 120 sq. ft.). For irregularly shaped rooms or areas that aren&rsquo;t even square feet, converting to inches will be your best bet for an accurate measurement.</p></div>

Q: How can I hide a visually unpleasant hardwood floor?

• <div><p>If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you&rsquo;re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that&rsquo;s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route. </p></div>

Installers were professionals and did an excellent job. They were neat as we had no clean up after installation. Had a window cracked during installation that was replaced without follow up from me. I would recommend their product and service to anyone.

"Showed up in the time frame and did an amazing job. They cleaned out the chimney and inspected it for any damage or repaires that it may need. They did reset the damper for me and after they finished they took the equipment and left. Besides a clean chimney you couldnt tell that they were ever here."
