Should I replace or refinish my floors?

• <div><p>There are some circumstances that may require a full replacement of your hardwood floors, such as major flooding or crowning of the boards. Learn more about these specific situations in our article, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/costs-vs-benefits-hardwood-flooring-repair.htm"><i>Should You Repair Or Replace Your Hardwood Floors</i></a>, to identify whether or not it makes more sense to take on a refinishing project or completely replace them.</p></div>

Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</p></div>

Q: How do you raise a sunken living room floor?

• <div><p>Raising a sunken living room requires help from a professional contractor. The expert will remove existing flooring and trim, reroute utility lines with respect to the new floor level, pour concrete to fill the recessed space, and then let the concrete cure. After the foundation is raised up, the contractor will install the new utility lines, repaint the walls, if necessary, and finish the area with flooring and trim.</p></div>

Q: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>

Q: How do carpet installers protect my furniture during the installation process?

• <div><p>Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.</p></div>

Excellent. We were not living in the house at the time and Eric kept us updated daily on the progress. The movers scratched our new floor and Eric made a service call at no additional charge to repair. My floors are beautiful! My husband and I highly recommend Eric's company.
