"Rawlings Hardwood Flooring did an AMAZING job refinishing my hardwood floors. There were terrible scratches in it that I did not think would come out. They were able to get them all out! Very affordable and responsive. Highly recommend."

"Brandon and his crew were great. They went above and beyond putting in my new laminate in the bedrooms. They moved a lot more of my clutter than they should have had to but I'd recently hurt my shoulder and couldn't do a whole lot to get stuff up and out of their way. Everyone was nice and courteous. Brandon's quick to respond to texts/calls. If I need more flooring work done I'll definitely be calling him again!"

"Brandon installed flooring (carpet and luxury vinyl plank) throughout our entire house. Every room turned out beautifully and weâ re always getting compliments! On top of that, he beat the competitorsâ pricing and got the job completed in a timely manner. He and his crew are honest, reliable, professional, and super down-to-earth. They showed up ready to work and made sure everything was done beyond our satisfaction. BC Quality is now the only company I will use for flooring! If youâ re looking for great quality floors, competitive pricing, and top-notch installation, Brandon is your guy!"

Flooring Installation FAQs, answered by experts

It all depends on what you’re looking for in a floor. Cork flooring is certainly softer and more sound-absorbing than hardwood floors, and the two share very similar maintenance routines. That said, for some homeowners, the pristine appearance of hardwood floors may be more appealing, and they may be less prone to scratches and dents than cork flooring. Hardwood flooring also tends to be more expensive than cork flooring.

Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you’re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.

It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.

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.

Vinyl floors last between 10 and 25 years on average when you care for them and protect them against water damage, though higher-quality vinyl can last longer.

If your vinyl flooring has heavy wear and tear or if it's peeling, it's a good time to do a reinstallation. Other signs your flooring is nearing the end of its lifespan include bubbling, heat-damaged planks or tiles, and discoloration.
