Are hardwood floors worth it?

• <div><p>Hardwood floors are expensive, but they are also incredibly durable and can last decades with proper care. Along with being long-lasting, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">hardwood floors can give you an incredible ROI</a>—up to 118% on average. Most homeowners find hardwood floors worth the initial investment, so keep that in mind when deciding which way to go. </p></div>

Q: Does carpet over carpet increase the insulation and soundproofing of the room?

• <div><p>While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-floor.htm">optimal floor insulation</a> and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: Why do you leave a gap when laying laminate flooring?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Which is better, laminate or linoleum?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laminate-vs-linoleum.htm">linoleum versus laminate</a>, the better choice depends on your personal needs. Linoleum tends to last longer but is more difficult to install. Laminate is less eco-friendly and less durable, but it is easy to install without a professional. </p><p>Both options come in a wide variety of styles, but many prefer the look of laminate. Laminate and linoleum are affordable flooring options compared to hardwood or tile, but laminate costs less at about $0.70 to $2 per square foot.</p></div>

Windows and French doors are great. They work unbelievable smooth. However, the installation crew was beyond top notch. They were very clean, friendly, professional, on time, and had expert attention to detail. The framing on our house is a mess and they took an extra day to make sure...
