"He prepped a spot on our floor to show us how different color stains would look before we picked out the color we wanted. The work was completed in a timely manner and the floor looks good!"
"I had wood floors installed upstairs last year and I loved them so much that I wanted the same on the first floor.. Dayton, the sales rep, did a great job listening to my request. I hadn’t planned to make a purchase, but she gave me such a great price that I moved forward and will have my floors installed in August.."
"Daniel was great to work with and he did a phenomenal job on our floors--they look amazing! We had an odd timeline for our project but Daniel was very accommodating and professional. Also, his services were priced very fair and reasonable."
"Fantastic to work with! The staff Jacob sent to do the actual work were pleasant and skilled. They had to replace many boards in my 100+ year old home before refinishing both my entire down stairs and the hall upstairs, and I was comfortable leaving them to it while I left the state to take care of selling my other house. I came home to beautiful floors, and extra boards stored in the basement. Please read the back of your estimate/contract for what they will/will not do as far as prep and finishing. Jacob took the time to assure and educate me on a few questions I had."
"Larry was referred by a friend and he was awesome. He reponded to me immediately, went out of his way to fit me into his schedule faster than I could have ask and did an excellent job down to the last detail. As a landlord, I have a long list of contractors and Larry has made it into the top rated."
"I hired Matt and his crew to lay 660sq ft of laminate flooring. The professionalism and quality of work was exceptional. If I could give a 10 star rating I would. Excellent to company to work with."
"To say these guys did and awesome job is an understatement. I couldn't be more pleased. This was a very difficult job. The floor have had carpet for years. The carpet was old looking and worn, however the floors were even worse underneath. There were missing planks, uneven soft spots, vinyl floor tile half taken off, it was a mess. Cid came to the job knowing the floors were horrible. I gave him full disclosure over the phone. I really anticipated him seeing the floors and walking away. A few days prior that's what happened with a different company. Cid was very personable, professional, knowledgeable, informative and fair. He laid out exactly what was going to have to take place with the job and then did the measurements. Now came the part me as a customer dread, the quote. I was floored when he gave me the numbers. The quote was very fair and he said he could get started right away. I was having three rooms done. It took a day and a few hours to complete. The crew worked very diligently to complete the job. They also cleaned as they worked. When they were done the floor looked great. The crew put everything back as they found it. With CVM you can't go wrong. I highly recommend them for your flooring needs."
"Moe did an excellent job installing our new floor. He also removed and replaced all the baseboards, caulked and painted them.
I would hire Moe again."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48 hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.
Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.
There are a few cleaning products that you should never use on carpets because you may accidentally ruin them. Do not use bleach, dish soap, laundry detergent, and abrasive cleaners on carpet. For more guidance on products to avoid, consult a local carpet cleaning company for expert advice.
When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.
Because concrete is porous, installing flooring directly onto the surface is not a good idea. Any moisture within the concrete due to atmospheric conditions or seasonal humidity can seep into your flooring, causing warping or damage. In most cases, you’ll need to install at least a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring you choose.
Choosing the right carpet involves assessing room usage, desired comfort levels, durability requirements, and stylistic preferences. Carpet fiber types and density should also be considered during the decision-making process.
