"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Dave came out and did the job on time. The crew spent 4 days here which some other companies only spend 1. My concrete is 30 years old and was pitted really bad which they ground it down to level it off. It looks level and better than new. The finish is a grey flux-color with a lot of clear on it. I’ve seen other jobs from other companies but this is by far the best. After the job was done he offered to come by and move my compressor and tools back in. What company would come back after being paid ? Dave and his crew are awesome!"
If you’re doing a full bathroom remodel, the flooring will go in before the vanity and any other bathroom cabinetry. This will ensure that the same floor is present across your whole bathroom should you ever tear out your vanity and start again.
If you can only budget for one or the other, you can still replace just the vanity in your bathroom. Just keep in mind that if you decide to replace your flooring later, you’ll need to tear out the vanity to avoid having mismatched floors.
It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.
Furniture pads and rugs are simple ways to protect your floors as they prevent furniture from scratching them, reducing wear and tear. The same goes for trimming your pet’s nails since they can scratch the floors as well. You can also apply a protective finish every few years to maintain the floor’s appearance.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
DIY installation is challenging; professionals ensure proper fitting, adhesive application, and long-term durability.
