"I am very happy with my new solid hardwood floors. Lux Flooring was very competitive pricing wise. They were not the cheapest nor the most expensive. Although pricing was considered, I choose Lux Flooring because Juan was extremely knowledgeable and was able to tell me potential problems that could arise, AHEAD of time. He wasn’t here just to get the job done, he was here to get a job very well done. Very knowledgeable and professional."

Their professionalism stood out, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I’m extremely pleased with both the service and the outstanding quality of their work. Below is what my floor looks like before the refinishing and after."

"First let me take a moment to thank Hews Carpet Care, and the owner for taking such great care with our carpet and stairs and leaving our floors and stairs looking like they were new once again! We needed to have all of the carpet upstairs in the bedrooms & hall way stretched as well as all of the carpet on stairs stretched and retacked and we had 3 flights. Not only did he do an exceptional job but Hugh the owner was professional, and and truly an expert in his craft! He also had a wonderful personality and his only goal was to make sure you were happy above and beyond. He also provides a warranty, so working with a craftsman with over 40 yrs of experience in his trade, he went above & beyond what we expected and we couldn't help but provide him with a nice tip to show our gratitude!. So thanks again Hugh for all of your help! We'll end saying anyone who needs carpet care, visit his website & don't hesitate to call Hews Carpet Care. Sincerely, Jay & Mel"

"United Kitchen and Bath remodeled our master bath in 2018 and the work done was exceptional. We hired them this year to remodel our kitchen. We could not be happier with the outcome! It is beautiful. Alex worked with us in choosing the cabinets, countertop and backsplash. They compliment each other beautifully! All the workers were excellent and skilled at their job. They also replaced the carpet in our sunroom with flooring as well as replacing a wet bar. United Kitchen and Bath will be the first place we go for our future remodeling needs!"

"We had new flooring installed in the basement of our home and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the entire process was smooth and professional. The team helped us choose the perfect flooring that matched both our style and budget. The installers arrived on time, worked efficiently, and paid great attention to detail. They made sure everything was properly aligned and finished beautifully. The new floor looks incredible and have completely refreshed the look of our home. If you’re considering new flooring, I highly recommend this company for their quality, professionalism, and excellent customer service."

"I must say I was nervous about allowing a carpet service do repair on my laminate hardware floor. They sure did a absolutely amazing job! I mean I was completely speechless at the superb quality of work and the time it took them to complete the job was mindblowing! After completing this job for me, I'll be using them for any carpet, tile, hardwood floor installs in the future for sure!"

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
