"They sanded my light oak hardwood floors down enough to be able to stain them a darker color. Excellent company. They did a great job and showed up and completed the work on time. Highly recommend."
"I hired Refloor to come back and do my basement too. The installation was delayed due to stock shortage but the floors are in and they are beautiful. I hired my own painter to stain the moldings to match the floors. The floors look so much like real wood. Great job!"
"Quick response, fair price. Removed carpet, repaired squeaky sub floor, replaced pad and stretched/re-laid carpet in 2 rooms and hallway; replaced carpet in the other 2. Prompt and friendly, moved furniture, worked fast, cleaned up! Highly recommend."
"The choice of floors was excellent. The The salespeople were very informative and patient. The installers did expert work. The office people were helpful. Every one of these people were pleasant. We are completely satisfied."
"My historic home had many design and installation challenges, but the team did an amazing job. They ended up moving my plumbing, building out a few walls, and built the floor under my shower pan. It was a lot of work and it was a unique situation but their work was perfect nonetheless! No detail was spared and my shower is incredible. I could not be happier with the work."
"I contacted Jeff after inquiring about a free quote for a flooring coating. Jeff showed up that week and provided me with a detailed quote, explained the process, color options and provided me with a very reasonable price. Jeff did not pressure sell and was very professional and friendly to not only myself but my wife also. Jeff provided me with all the needed literature and contact information for follow up. A few days later I spoke with Jeff who scheduled me an appointment within two weeks. Leading up to the scheduled install date Jeff stayed in contact and confirmed the appointment. Jeff stated they would arrive between 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM and promptly arrived at 8:00 AM. Jeff introduced me to his partner, Pat, who was very friendly. Jeff and Pat worked for the next several hours completing the job. It looks fantastic. They did a great job cleaning up and prior to leaving Jeff explained the expectations for the next few days until the product was fully dry. I would highly recommend this company as Jeff and Pat did an awesome job. I will update my review in a few weeks with how the floor coating has held up yet I do not have any concerns."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.
You can lay your laminate flooring in whichever direction you'd like. However, you should check your materials' instructions and see what the maximum length limit is for the installation. This differs according to the brand you buy, but you can expect it to be around 40 linear feet. Depending on the size of the room, this might dictate which direction you end up laying the planks.
The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.
It’s better to lift and set down furniture; sliding it across the floor is more likely to cause damage to both the floor and the furniture itself. For very heavy items, consider using a dolly with rubber wheels. It is possible to purchase sliders designed specifically for gliding furniture across floors, but you still risk causing permanent damage to flooring if you use them.
You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.
