"The Stevenson brothers did an awesome job repairing the floor and putting down new flooring in our half bath. They were extremely professional and meticulous in their work. Would happily use them again in the future and highly recommend them!"

"The most professional flooring installers. I hired to complete flooring install after having to terminate two other flooring installers. I'm more than pleased with the quality of the work and plan to use them for future projects."

"I hired Refloor to come back and do my basement too. The installation was delayed due to stock shortage but the floors are in and they are beautiful. I hired my own painter to stain the moldings to match the floors. The floors look so much like real wood. Great job!"

"Highly recommend Brandon with Wingler’s Handyman Services for any home improvement needs. When our subfloor started showing signs it needed replacing, we reached out for an estimate. His pricing was very reasonable and he got us scheduled quickly—which matters with flooring issues. From the moment he walked in, I felt confident we were in good hands. He’s knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made the whole process feel manageable, even with an older house that loves surprises. And of course, we had a few. 😅 Plumbing leaks, extra bracing needed… Brandon handled it all without missing a beat. What stood out most was his attention to detail. He took his time and made sure everything was done right, not just “good enough.” The finished floors turned out better than I imagined. We’re beyond happy and already have a list of future projects for him."

"The crew was courteous and professional. They brought a 4 man crew that worked steady and hard all day and into the evening to complete the flooring. Absolutely an incredible job installing vinyl plank on all the floors in my 2 story house! They have great communication with the customer every step of the way."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.

Each flooring material has its own maintenance requirements and cleaning techniques. For example, hardwood floors may require occasional refinishing and specialized cleaning products, while vinyl and laminate are easy to clean with regular sweeping and mopping. Concrete and natural stone, on the other hand, may need periodic sealing to maintain their appearance and durability. Follow manufacturer recommendations and utilize appropriate cleaning methods to preserve the integrity of your chosen flooring material.

If you also need to know how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.

Sheet vinyl is the cheapest DIY flooring, depending on the brand, style, and quality you choose. Not only is it one of the most affordable flooring products on the market, but it is also easy for most homeowners to install, as it only requires cutting, trimming, and gluing down to the existing floor surface. Some sheet vinyl manufacturers make a loose-lay sheet vinyl flooring that does not even need to be glued.

Carpet squares, tile stickers, painting or stenciling existing tile floors, and painting existing concrete flooring are also affordable options for DIY flooring.
