"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!!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Kemal was given a tough job. I had to replace two sections of flooring that had been water damaged. The original flooring was discontinued so a match needed to be made. After numerous tries, he was able to find a match. I had significantly higher bids and more complicated solutions from other reputable flooring companies. Kemal and is crew took great care in getting the best results for me. He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone who is considering flooring project."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

There are a few cleaning products that you should never use on carpets because you may accidentally ruin them. Do not use bleach, dish soap, laundry detergent, and abrasive cleaners on carpet. For more guidance on products to avoid, consult a local carpet cleaning company for expert advice.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.
