"Joe did a really good job replacing a section of our hallway flooring approx. 47 ft x 3 1/2 ft. This was 2 year old Engineered Hardwood flooring improperly installed by our builder which had lifted and buckled in spots. Joe responded quickly, made suggestions on the way to do the work and was quick to complete the project. We highly recommend him for your flooring project"

"Wes and crew were very professional from the start.  They really helped us get an idea of the pros and cons of different hardwoods and which kind would suit our needs. 
They showed up on time each day, and were through with the installation in just two days.
The new floor has transformed our house and we couldn't be happier.  It has made such
a huge difference that now we are thinking of continuing it throughout more rooms in the house.
We were really impressed with their knowledge and their pace of work, these guys did not waste any time getting the job done quickly and efficiently.
Overall, Mountain Made Flooring was easy to communicate with, offered very reasonable
and competitive pricing on their installation and floors, and were a pleasure to
hire for the installation.  We would highly recommend them."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

You’ll know if your carpet is stretched enough if it lies completely flat and smooth across your floor. If you have ripples, wrinkled areas, or carpet piling up along the baseboards, these are telltale signs that your carpet is not fully stretched. Release the carpet from the tack strip along one wall and use a stretcher or knee kicker to stretch out the carpet before securing it again.

The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and revive your carpet
