Does a room have to be empty to restretch the carpet?

• <div><p>Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.</p></div>

Are epoxy floors high maintenance?

• <div><p>Like any other type of flooring, you will need to keep up with regular maintenance on your epoxy floors to keep them in the best shape possible; however, it is not like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">hardwood floors</a> inside a house, which require special care and more consistent maintenance.</p><p>Just make sure you use the right cleaning tools and solutions. Avoid using harsh tools like scrub brushes or hard-bristled brooms. You should also skip cleaners that are highly acidic, including white vinegar.</p></div>

Q: Does a room have to be empty to restretch the carpet?

• <div><p>Your room doesn&rsquo;t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you&rsquo;ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you&rsquo;re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.</p></div>

Q: What is the most durable type of flooring?

• <div><p>New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it&rsquo;s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear. </p></div>

Q: What is the downside of bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>While there are many benefits to installing bamboo flooring, there are also a few disadvantages to consider before choosing this type of flooring. Bamboo has fewer color options than wood, laminate, or vinyl flooring, and it can be more vulnerable to moisture.</p></div>

Q: Can you put rugs on heated floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put rugs and carpet on heated floors. However, carpet is not the most efficient for heated floors. The carpet pad and pile can prevent the heat from penetrating into the room. Rugs may also prevent heat from reaching your feet. You will get the most from your heated floors if you use thin rugs so that a maximum amount of heat can penetrate the room. You may find you do not need rugs to warm a space, thanks to the radiant heat coming up through your feet.</p></div>

Jeff Rice did a 100% excellent job. He is a perfectionist. He installed laminate flooring and had to remove caroet and pad. Great work and very pleasant.

In my experience they did a less than stellar job. They barely know what they are doing when it comes to replacing wood siding. There are half inch gaps where the siding meets the trim. We had them do some work from the interior of the house and there's a number of places where the wood floors...

They showed up when they said they would, did the work in the time they said they, and did a beautiful job. The floors are oak and they finished them to show the natural color. I surprised what a difference the floors make in the looks of the house.
