How do you start the first row of vinyl planks?

• <div><p>Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation—these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it’s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.</p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring for radiant heat?

• <div><p>Ceramic tile is the best flooring for radiant heat systems&mdash;and, in particular, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/benefits-radiant-heating-bathroom-floors.htm">radiant bathroom flooring</a>&mdash;because it conducts and retains heat well. Plus, it&rsquo;s inexpensive, available in many colors and sizes, easy to install, and waterproof. Other types of flooring that work nicely with radiant heat systems include laminate, engineered wood, and vinyl.</p></div>

Q: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>

Q: How much does commercial carpet installation cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.</p></div>

Q: Do you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether or not you put flooring under kitchen cabinets depends on the type of flooring you&rsquo;re installing. Tile and hardwood flooring can throw off the height measurement for cabinets, so the best practice is to install it first then add the cabinets on top. Laminate flooring, or any floating floor, should not be installed underneath cabinets because it expands and contracts, making the cabinets unstable. </p></div>

High tide saved my hardwood floors! We had a massive leak under the house while we were out of town and came home to disaster. High tide was able to efficiently dry out my floors in a timely manner to prevent any further damage and they are as good as new. Very professional and fair pricing....
