"I originally hired Cliff a couple of years ago to refinished our hardwood floors at a previous house. He did a great job on it, so I decided to ask him to install new hardwood floors at our new house. Again, he also did a great job. Cliff is friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. The quote he gave us was also reasonable. I highly recommend Cliff for hardwood floor refinish or installation."

"Highly recommend! Excellent communication and service! I needed the floors refinished on a specific date and Ron was very accomodating. He answered my calls and emails promptly. He arrived right on time with a great team. They completed the job on time. The floors in the 100 year old house looked brand new when they were done. I was very impressed with this company!!"

"We hired Steve and team because of multiple great reviews from friends and they did not disappoint. We had 2 separate leaks in our basement that ruined the finished floor. They did an incredible job replacing the floor while adding safeguards against water in the future. 5 Stars! Highly Recommend!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

If you don’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.

Carpeting with a low pile is both slip-resistant and soft, making it one of the safest types of flooring in the case of slips and falls. In order to be fully ADA-compliant, carpet shouldn’t exceed the thickness of half an inch, and you should secure the edges to the floor to prevent trip hazards.

Other ADA-compliant flooring options include hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile with a gritty, anti-slip surface. Ceramic or porcelain tile are actually some of the best types of flooring for wheelchair users.

Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48  hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.

Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.

The best flooring for radiant heat systems is tile, including porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. These materials are excellent heat conductors, retain warmth well, and are waterproof, which prevents mold or rot in case of leaks from a hydronic system. Unlike wood, they do not pose a fire safety risk if the heating system overheats. Ceramic tile is a particularly popular choice as it is inexpensive, easy to install, and available in many styles, making it ideal for spaces like bathrooms. Other flooring types that work well with radiant heat include laminate, engineered wood, and vinyl. If you are installing radiant heating over a concrete slab, especially in a basement, it is advisable to install a vapor barrier first to prevent issues with moisture and condensation.
