Customers say: True professional

"We highly recommend Illi Hardwood Flooring for both Hardwood floors and for Finished Carpentry. Our initial agreement was to remove carpet and install hardwood floors in our second story. A part of that agreement included removing carpet and refinishing the stairway from first to second. When the carpet was removed, we were surprised, the stairs needed to be totally rebuilt. David kept us informed promptly when unexpected challenges arose with the stairs, listened to our preferences, presented alternatives and estimates, completed the work in time for the next contractor on our project, and made sure we were happy with the result. The floors are beautiful and the stairway is a work of art! We will be hiring Illi Hardwood Flooring for any future floor and carpentry projects that arise!"

"An excellent job in every respect. The 55 year old floors are now beautiful, even in the corners & edges. The vacuum system worked great and we were unable to find any dust residue in the house after the crew left. The work was done on time and as scheduled, at a fair & reasonable price for such high quality work. Am very glad we hired these guys for this job, and highly recommend them."

"It was one of the best experiences dealing with a contractor for understanding our needs, choosing type of flooring, overcoming obstacles (subfloor irregularities in an old building, etc.). Scheduling was almost immediate and the job performed quickly with quality and care. Follow up on one small detail was completed with no hassle. Filipp was pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to work with as were the employees, Tony, Fredy and crew."

"Dmytro and his guys did an amazing job! Had carpet removed and replaced with laminate all in one day. He was always responsive throughout the whole planning process. They were very clean during and after the installation! I was also short one piece of transition molding. He offered to come back when the additional piece arrived at no charge! Can’t ask for better service."

"RD Floors was a referral from a friend when another company wasn’t returning calls after asking me to contact them early January. This left me with a shorter window to get my project done. A blessing in disguise. Ryan happened to have an opening the next Monday. The color I wanted wasn’t going to be available by then so Ryan went OUT OF HIS WAY to make a blend close to the color I wanted. It was perfect. Then, with the late start, worked into the night to get my floor done. This is a business that truly cared about the customer and is passionate about his work. The garage floor is beautiful and it is a quality job. Ryan and crew were great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. Worth every penny!! Thank you so much Ryan and company!!!!"

"Don really saved me during a bind. I needed carpet installed in a very short timeframe and he worked his schedule around to be able to do it for me. The carpet looks great, he took his time and made sure everything was right!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.

Most DIYers can learn how to remove carpet although it’s time and labor-intensive. However, if you have glued-down carpet and are concerned about damaging the substrate below, it's best to call a professional carpet remover. Also, removing glue-down carpet is more work than dealing with wall-to-wall carpet because you have to get rid of all traces of the adhesive from your subfloor to prepare it for a new installation.

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.

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.
