"He was able to get the whole 2nd floor completed in a short time constraint. Clean and ductless. Workers were courteous. They were also able to replace an additional board on short notice after the 2nd floor was finished. Floors look fantastic!!"

"Vladimir and his team installed carpet, leveled cement floor, waterproofed and layer down LVT flooring . It was a basement apt and many issues cropped up during the project none though that they couldnâ t handle . It was truly a joy to work with Vladimir his confidence,cheerful attitude made this difficult job much less stressful than it could of been. Always available for questions came back to the house repeatedly to discuss, brainstorm and fix issues ( due to conditions) . As a property manager Iâ ve rarely seen this kind of attention paid and would recommend him highly. His pricing is fair and I feel like I got a bargain in that he didnâ t charge a penny over even with all the extra time he had to put in."

"My floors look beautiful. I could not have hired a better company. Went with water based finish after a convention with Cliff. Worked the week I needed since the house was empty to do the whole first floor. I could not be happier with the difference from yellow orange floors from the oil based poly. Before and after color difference amazing."

"Stop searching for a flooring pro and hire Eddie! You will not regret it. I'm a first homeowner, I had plenty of questions and Eddie was awesome to work with. Him and his crew were very professional, Eddie gave me updates and sent me pictures every day, and they even finished the project ahead of time. The project was to remove carpet in 3 bedrooms and replace with hardwood. Eddie recommended doing a poly coat in all the house so everything matches. Wow... my floors are beautiful, perfect finish, and everything is super clean. I highly highly recommend them. Eddie - thank you so much!"

"Mike and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They came on time and fixed my rippled carpeting on 3 floors, itâ s now beautiful. They did it right and for a very reasonable cost. The guys moved furniture and put it all back when done. They also vacuumed and left no mess. I am very happy with how it came out."

"I have a 125 yr old victorian with inlaid fur, maple, and oak woods. I never knew that until Wu pointed it out. Wu had to rip up a portion of my floor because over the years it was sloping quite a bit on one end. He ripped up the slopping floor, shimmed the underneath properly, installed plywood and then paper before he put the floor back down. He was able to reuse most of the boards to maintain the same color and tone of the original floor. He then sanded and polyurethaned the entire house including 2 sets of stairs. He started and ended on time. Hard working crew."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

A stair runner is a length of carpet installed in the center of the staircase, either on top of or in between hard materials installed on the staircase. The carpet doesn’t cover the entire length of the steps, making stair runners an aesthetic choice. Thankfully, if you want hard materials on your stairs to show through, a stair runner will make it safer, as the primary area you walk on will be less slippery thanks to the carpet. 

You can tell if you have linoleum or vinyl floors if you look under the floor's surface. Linoleum floors have color that goes all the way through the tile, while vinyl flooring uses a printed image on the surface of the tile, plank, or sheet. This image often realistically replicates the look and feel of wood, ceramic tile, stone, or other natural materials.

Laminate flooring should be stacked horizontally and laid flat to avoid any warping or stress to the boards. To stack it, you should do so in a grid with each row of flooring packages positioned at a 90-degree angle to the layer beneath it. This will provide the best support so the flooring will not sag in the middle.

Houses naturally settle over time, but they should settle uniformly with no apparent settling in one spot. If your floor is uneven but only in a particular area of your home, differential settlement could be the problem. This can be caused by improper drainage, erosion, expanding soil, earthquake activity, or poor construction techniques.
