"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
To prep a floor for painting, start by sweeping and cleaning any loose debris that could puncture the protective material. Take out as much furniture as possible. Then lay plastic, canvas, rosin paper, or masonite sheets across the room, securing them at the edges with masking tape. Plan your painting so that you minimize the chances you’ll step in and track any splatters.
Your floor sees a lot of action: foot traffic bringing in dirt from outside, pets with muddy paws, kids dropping food crumbs, and more. All of this makes your floors dirty, and if you don’t keep up with cleaning them, staying on top of the dirt will become more challenging.
As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.
Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.
Steam mops can be a better option than traditional mops because the steam can lift stubborn dirt from floors without using chemicals, and it also kills bacteria and dust mites. However, steam mops have drawbacks: they are more expensive, require an electrical outlet, and are not suitable for all flooring types, such as laminate or hardwood, which can be damaged by the steam.
Regular mopping can also sanitize floors effectively when done with the right cleaning products and techniques, though it may require more effort. The main advantage of a traditional mop is its versatility, as it can be used on any type of flooring. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your floor type, budget, and cleaning preferences.
