"David did an amazing job installing my floors. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to track down the exact flooring the builder originally used, which I really appreciated. Anytime a concern came up, he didn’t just point it out—he came with solutions and made sure everything was handled the right way. His attention to detail and commitment to getting it right truly set him apart. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and great service"

"Pro Touch Coating Solutions is a serious business and by that I mean that they communicate well, arrive on time, and they do their jobs with the utmost in quality of products and attention to detail! It has been about 2 weeks since they did my garage floor and I am very happy with the finished product! It is so much better than my raw concrete floor. I am glad that I asked Pro Touch Coating Solutions for a proposal! I have attached the before and after photos."
"Charles arrived on time with plenty of samples to help me decide which type of flooring would work best in the rooms we wanted to have done. He gave me several options with price breakouts, which was extremely helpful. Floors in our 3 bedrooms and a hallway were installed in one day! That included removing old tile and old carpet, then installation of new laminate. The professionals who installed the flooring worked steadily without stopping the whole day. We?re thrilled with the new flooring and we?re thrilled to know exactly where we will go when we?re ready to have new floors installed in our kitchen and living room. Thank you, Empire Today!"
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:
There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.
The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.
Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.
If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.
Natural options like stone tile, hardwood, cork, bamboo, and natural linoleum are among the healthier flooring choices available. On the flip side, carpet and carpet padding are among the biggest culprits when it comes to releasing potentially hazardous chemicals into your home. Artificial, manufactured options like vinyl and engineered wood may also contain and emit VOCs.
Yes, flooring should go under the fridge and your other large appliances. Installing it underneath creates a seamless appearance and makes it easier to move appliances for cleaning or replacement. It is also essential for protecting your subfloor. A kitchen contractor will help you find suitable flooring that is durable enough to handle the weight of your fridge without denting or cracking.
You can tell if you have linoleum or vinyl floors if you look under the floor's surface. Linoleum floors have color that goes all the way through the tile, while vinyl flooring uses a printed image on the surface of the tile, plank, or sheet. This image often realistically replicates the look and feel of wood, ceramic tile, stone, or other natural materials.
Sheet vinyl is among the most affordable and durable flooring options, with prices as low as $0.50 per square foot and a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. Other inexpensive and durable choices include standard vinyl plank ($2 to $7 per square foot), which mimics wood or stone and is great for high-traffic areas. Laminate flooring ($1 to $6 per square foot), linoleum, carpeting, and concrete can also be cost-effective options, with prices starting around $2 per square foot.
