"I normally would have given D&T Hardwood Floor five stars, they did a beautiful job restoring the hardwood floors in my bedroom, which were almost 60 years old! However, I have a bifold closet door which they had to partially dismantle to allow more space for their power sander....and then when the job was completed, they did not put the door back together, and apparently "lost" of of the parts that is needed for the door to operate correctly. Two phone calls and a text message to Vu have thus far failed to resolve this issue, Bottom line: I would highly recommend Vu and his team. They were extrenely efficient in their work and very careful of the areas surrounding the bedroom. The finished product was outstanding! Before presenting payment however, make sure that anything that they had to dismantle is put back together."

Customers say: Quick response

"I very highly recommend Jamie Adams. He showed up on time, finished on schedule, and did an amazing job, absolutely top-notch work. He has attention to detail, finds great solutions to weird quirks that come with a property's existing layout. I trust his judgement, and take his recommendations/solutions. Which is saying a lot I am normally quite suspicious of contractors, but Jamie has won my trust and loyalty. If any of my buildings need work, Jamie will get it. The quality is great and the cost is reasonable, with no sticker shock."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

In addition to local hardware stores, many big-box chains and national equipment rental companies carry floor sanders for rent. Additionally, U-Sand, manufacturers of a random orbital floor sander, operate a rental program in partnership with a number of different regional chains and local outlets. Make sure to thoroughly compare the prices at all the stores nearest you—while the costs average out to a similar range across dealerships, some of them offer significantly better rates for long-term rentals than others.

What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.
