"Matt was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. He offered soup-to-nuts service at an excellent price. He got our quote expedited quickly, came by ahead of the project to remove baseboards and old flooring to accommodate our painting needs, and then installation was completed in the blink of an eye. The vinyl plank floor is beautiful, and we would not hesitate to hire Tempco again (we've already had Matt weight in on how to level out the floor on our next project). Matt has earned our highest recommendation!"

"Great company. Easy to deal with. Great attention to details. They take pride in what they are doing. Paul is the owner of the company. His communication skills are top notch! His crew is very polite and hard working. They did a great job installing Epoxy Broadcast System over very old, detonated garage floor. It looks excellent! Very pleased! Highly recommend Classic Seamless Floors. If you have an old garage floor and are not sure what to do with it, - this is the way to go. It will lookand feel better than when it was new."

"ESP Flooring did an incredible job leveling my cement floors that were out of level in some areas by up to 2 inches. When finished adding material, the proceeded to grind down the entire floor to make sure it was flat enough for our new vinyl floors. Their quoted price was extremely good and more than fair. I would highly recommend Bob’s and his crew for any floor job you might have."

"We recently pulled up carpeting in our living room and hallway. The floors underneath were stained in several areas and there was an area that needed repairing. When the floors were done, we were amazed at how beautiful they were. They were able to get out all the stains, and the repair looked amazing. I am so happy that we went with Sousa Fine Floors. It was definitely money well spent!"

"Johnny Carrenzo does top-notch work. He did two bathrooms for us. One was complex. He removed a bathtub and replaced it with a floor-to-ceiling shower. He turned our 1969 bathrooms into modern and sleek bathrooms. He gave excellent design advice and even met me at Home Depot to select materials. On top of his excellent work, he was finished on the exact day that he said he would be. He showed up every morning like clock-work. He kept his work area clean. And most importantly, he was easily reached when we had questions - he always responded to texts and phone calls. We will hire him again, no doubt."

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations. Sam, the owner, brought professionalism and expertise from start to finish. He was punctual, respectful of my home, and paid close attention to every detail while installing vinyl flooring throughout my basement. He was extremely accommodating, answering all my questions and offering valuable suggestions and design insights that improved the final look. His knowledge and craftsmanship were clear in every step of the process. Pricing was fair and in line with other quotes I received, but Sam’s communication and quality of work truly set him apart. My basement looks amazing, and I’m so glad I chose Sam for my remodel. I highly recommend Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations to anyone looking for skill, reliability, and excellent results."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.

Now that you know the true pleasure of a squeaky-clean floor, you’re probably wondering how to keep floors clean between mop days. Here are the best tips to keep your floor looking spotless:

  • Give floors a quick daily swipe with a microfiber mop.

  • Keep a spray bottle of your cleaning solution on hand to use as needed.

  • Sweep daily and vacuum once or twice a week.

  • Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen.

  • Place a doormat at each entrance to your home to reduce mud tracking.

  • Consider enforcing a “no shoes inside” policy.

  • Wash your pet’s paws before letting them back inside.

The best flooring materials for a mudroom are porcelain and ceramic tiles. Both are easy to clean and maintain, and they're also water-resistant and highly durable. If you're not a fan of those types, you can also choose another nonporous flooring for your mudroom, such as stone or sealed concrete. Stay away from linoleum, cork, hardwood, and engineered wood, as water and moisture in your mudroom will damage these quickly.

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. 

One reason that laminate flooring has grown in popularity is that it can be installed on top of some kinds of existing flooring, therefore saving money and time. However, don’t install laminate flooring over carpet since it may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, carpet is often too plush and soft to properly support a laminate flooring system.
