Which flooring increases home value?

• <div><p>Hardwood offers the highest ROI at around 75%. Engineered hardwood, tile, reclaimed wood, and laminate also increase a home’s value but with lower ROIs. Lighter tiles tend to increase a home’s value slightly more than darker tiles. Taking the ROI into account when you choose flooring can increase your home value and allow you to recoup some or all of the cost to install it.</p></div>

Q: How long does laminate flooring last?

• <div><p>Laminate is a sturdy material that lasts 15 to 25 years if it&rsquo;s properly maintained and isn&rsquo;t damaged. Laminate with a higher AC rating lasts longer than laminate with a lower AC rating. For the most longevity, put laminate with an AC1 rating in low-traffic areas and use laminate with an AC3 or AC4 rating in high-traffic areas like entryways. </p></div>

Q: Do you put anything under carpet tiles?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to put anything under carpet tiles&mdash;unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it&rsquo;s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.</p></div>

Q: What carpet should you avoid for stairs?

• <div><p>Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color. </p></div>

Q: Can mites live in your bed?

• <div><p>Dust mites feed on dead skin cells, which means your bed is a haven for them. They also like the warmth and humidity in your mattress because that is the climate required for them to survive. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s vital to vacuum your mattress and regularly wash your linens to keep mites from living in your bed. </p></div>

Very well. There was a 2x2 hole that needed patched. We took wood boards from the entry (which weren't needed) to patch so it matched. Cody offered two different options to try and save me some money. I get compliments on the floors from everyone who sees them.

The floors turned out beautifully. I pulled up old carpeting and there was the original 65 year old maple flooring. It was in pretty rough shape with pet stains and caked on carpet sprinkles. David was able to remove not only the old finish but a vast majority of the pet stains. I truly did not...
