"Keven and crew came as scheduled and took up carpet, padding and the strips around the edges. I knew there was a lively oak flooring under it that had never been exposed so I decided it was time they did a phenomenal job and you really don’t see any places where the stripping was. I am SOOOO very happy with their workmanship."
"We had new oak hardwood floors installed throughout the first floor of our house and refinished the existing hardwood stairs and upstairs hallway to match. They provided a fair estimate and worked with us on scheduling since we had to move out of the house for this project."
"Great experience with this company. They took care of everything they needed to and completed the job on time. Will definitively recommend for any other floor projects"
"Pleasure to work with, always on time and efficient, the quality is top notch!
Coordination in the field with multiple subcontractors to avoid conflict with flooring finish, the communication on the process and sequence was very professional and allowed us the builder to easily schedule other subcontractors.
We highly recommend aqua flooring for all your flooring needs, Qua is turnkey when it comes his flooring scope."
"Perfection - NE floors. Talk to Roman. He came one day and priced out buffing my old floors and applying a new cost of matte refinish. The home had been used as an air B and B for years and the floors in living room and dining room and stairs were badly worn and dirty. Nothing I did with cleaners and micro fiber cloths helped. Roman gave me what I felt was a good fair price. He was ready to come a couple of days later He and his guys moved all my furniture out, buffed the floor with some kind of compound, Cleaned up snd put down a new matte finish in half a day. I had to let the floors dry over night but they looked like new in the morning sunlight. All the dirt and imperfections I could see in the backlight before was gone. The finish looked like new and is perfect I’m thrilled, he couldn’t have done a better job. They came back put all the furniture back in place. All along They Couldn’t have been more careful, polite or professional. I highly recommend NE floors."
"I was extremely pleased with the work Design Wood Floors completed in my home. They took a 100 year old staircase and made the stairs look like new. They worked with me to create a custom color stain that matched my home perfectly, completed the work on time and did a great job cleaning up after themselves."
"They did an excellent job on my garage floor. It was a one day process. They cleaned up after completing the work. Answered any questions and guaranteed the finish and I was very satisfied. I highly would recommend them to anyone!"
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.
Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.
Like any other type of flooring, you will need to keep up with regular maintenance on your epoxy floors to keep them in the best shape possible; however, it is not like hardwood floors inside a house, which require special care and more consistent maintenance.
Just make sure you use the right cleaning tools and solutions. Avoid using harsh tools like scrub brushes or hard-bristled brooms. You should also skip cleaners that are highly acidic, including white vinegar.
Vinyl and laminate flooring can have a similar life span. Both well-maintained laminate and luxury vinyl flooring can last up to 25 years. The exception is the thinner type of vinyl flooring that comes in sheets and lasts less than 10 years. It’s important to note that vinyl is waterproof, whereas you can ruin laminate if it absorbs too much moisture.
Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.
If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.
