Q: What is the best flooring for a wood stove?

• <div><p>Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove&mdash;or even create a fire hazard. </p></div>

Q: What carpet should you avoid for stairs?

• <div><p>Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color. </p></div>

Q: What can I use as a stair covering besides carpet?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t want to use carpet as a covering for your stairs, you have several alternatives. A few popular choices include hardwood, laminate, and rubber flooring.</p></div>

Q: Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn&rsquo;t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</p></div>

Q: Can I lay carpet by myself?

• <div><p>You can lay carpet by yourself, but that doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean you should. DIY carpet installation can save you on labor costs, but you&rsquo;ll have to pay more to get the right tools and equipment first. A knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller are a few pieces of equipment you&rsquo;ll need that you may not already have lying around. And keep in mind that repairing or replacing carpet later because of a bad installation is twice as expensive as paying a pro to handle it in the first place. </p></div>

Mr Leo and his workers were professional and exceptionally nice people. He installed a butcher's block countertop, straightened and painted existing cabinets, and painted the guesthouse. Excellent workmanship. He will be the first I call for future projects. It was a pleasure to meet him.

Kenneth went above and beyond excellent customer service. My above-the-oven microwave stopped working. He gave me all the options - repair vs. new appliance, and when I decided that I would purchase a new appliance, he even picked it up for me and installed it. I highly recommend him.
