Q: Should carpet be lighter or darker than walls?

• <div><p>Ultimately, it&rsquo;s a matter of personal preference. However, as a rule of thumb, lighter-colored carpets and walls will open up a room and often make it feel larger than it really is. On the other hand, darker shades tend to shrink a space, making it feel cozier. By mixing and matching light and dark colors, you can add dimension to the room.</p></div>

Q: Do carpet tiles need padding or underlayment?

• <div><p>In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.</p></div>

Q: Can I install laminate flooring over other types of flooring?

• <div><p>One reason that laminate flooring has grown in popularity is that it can be installed on top of some kinds of existing flooring, therefore saving money and time. However, don&rsquo;t install laminate flooring over carpet since it may void the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty. Plus, carpet is often too plush and soft to properly support a laminate flooring system. </p></div>

Q: Does it matter which direction laminate flooring is laid?

• <div><p>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 <b>40 linear feet</b>. Depending on the size of the room, this might dictate which direction you end up laying the planks.</p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring for a mudroom?

• <div><p>The best flooring materials for a mudroom are porcelain and ceramic tiles. Both are easy to clean and maintain, and they're also water-resistant and highly durable. If you're not a fan of those types, you can also choose another nonporous flooring for your mudroom, such as stone or sealed concrete. Stay away from linoleum, cork, hardwood, and engineered wood, as water and moisture in your mudroom will damage these quickly.</p></div>

"They did our garage floor a couple years ago. We removed a platform for a water tank, leaving an unfinished area of the floor. They came and patched this area to match the rest of the floor and it turned out great. They were easy to get a hold of and quick to perform the work. Would highly recommend Ryan."

"We hired Acclaimed Concrete because they seemed so knowledgeable and were very helpful in choosing which product to use. The father and son team were very conscientious and explained everything we needed to know! We absolutely love our new floor. Our floor was 40 years old and they made it look brand new! Their pricing was attainable for us. You won’t be disappointed with this father son team."
