"We had a small "incident" in our garage which necessitated repair to our floor. Nate did our floor 5 years ago and it still looks great. He did some repair work and it looks great. Dependable, prompt and professional. Recommend callingl Nate Butcher for your garage floor needs."
"Footprints remodeled our bathroom, hallway, and closet. The shower turned out gorgeous and the floor looks great. We ran into a problem with the laundry room floor but the owner came back out on his own time to fix it personally. Highly recommend"
"Donald Wayne is a very personable professional. He did the job as agreed upon, then went beyond what was required to make sure I received extra value for my money. He finished on time and invited me to inspect and approve the quality of his work before payment was made. Tiny flaws were immediately corrected to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Quality Flooring and will spread the word to my friends. Donald will be my first call for any future floor refinishing needs."
"Restored floors in a 1957 home and it was amazing to see how beautiful these floors came out. I was impressed with their employees. Job was completed on time."
"I highly recommend this company for finish work and carpentry. Neon and his team did an incredible job on the finish work on my 1960's home. Everyone was on-time, crazy fast, and very polite to my wife and child. There were some challenges that the team had to overcome (that come with any old house) like non-level flooring, crooked walls and had framing but they never complained and always shared recommendations and solutions. I'll hire him again as soon as I have the chance- we're already talking about a new deck installation!"
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.
There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project.
Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step.
Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood.
Popular flooring types for villas include tile, engineered hardwood, laminate, and vinyl. Tiles are often made of ceramic, terra cotta, or porcelain. The flooring you choose for your villa depends on your budget, the room, and the style you prefer.
Yes, you can mop hardwood floors with a damp flat or string mop as long as it is not soaking wet. Always avoid leaving standing water or fully soaking your hardwood floors, even if they are properly finished. A slightly wet mop, with or without cleaning solutions, will not damage the wood.
No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.
If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
