Customers say: Quality work

"RK Flooring installed a COREtec oak vinyl plank floor in our Master Bedroom/Walk-in Closet, and we couldn't be more pleased with the finished product AND outstanding customer service Rob (the owner) provided throughout the entire process. Rob quickly responded to our request via Home Advisor, took the time to educate us on the best COREtec product for us, provided a quick on-the-spot estimate, and delivered a beautiful and rich-looking floor that took only 4 hours to install. It was truly a pleasure to work with such a communicative, professional, skilled & efficient contractor, and we will certainly choose Rob and his team for any of our future flooring projects. We highly recommend that you check him out too!"

Small jobs welcome

"Joey was not afraid to take on our somewhat-involved project - we needed 2 old in-wall AC units removed and to have the corresponding holes patched, but this included both interior wood paneling and wall construction as well as exterior brick/masonry. Joey partnered with his dad and they completed the work beautifully and well within the expected timeframe. Joey started by providing a detailed and comprehensive estimate, and he performed vital research as well, identifying the correct wood paneling that matched our existing walls. We enjoyed working with the Handybeard, recommended him to our neighbors, and look forward to using his services again in the future! He is already working with us on a future closet-reframing project. Thanks Joey and your dad!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Luxury vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.

As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).

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.

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.

The flooring that is the least toxic is solid wood. Natural linoleum, tile, stone, bamboo, and cork flooring also make the list of least-toxic flooring types. These flooring materials are safer and healthier for your home because they are natural materials that aren’t manufactured with chemicals, unlike laminate flooring. While some laminate flooring brands are made with less formaldehyde, many contain high levels of toxic chemicals that can off-gas in your home for months and years after installation.

Choosing natural flooring materials that are easy to clean without chemical cleansers can also help keep your home safer.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.
