"Ryan and his Shed Dog crew were fantastic and we're so glad we hired them to refinish our oak and pine flooring in Westford. They did 6 rooms and two long hallways, were able to start earlier than planned and finished right on time. The floors are gorgeous, the rate was very reasonable, and Ryan and team were friendly and great to have around. Highly recommend!"

"Daniel of Renaissance Flooring is professional, highly skilled in floor refinishing and amazingly attentive to details. He was a pleasure to work with as he kept us informed of his progress throughout the whole project. He took great pride in his work and made our 25 yr. old woodfloors look new. I was most impressed with Daniel's communication skills. He gave us a rundown each morning of what to expect throughout the day making it possible for us to stay in our home yet out of his way as he was working. We are thrilled with our new wood floors and grateful for such a Incredibly wonderful experience with Daniel and Renaissance Floors!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. 

It takes about one to two days to remove carpet and install laminate flooring for small and medium-sized rooms. A larger room may take an extra day to complete. If you’re replacing flooring throughout your house, expect closer to one to two weeks, depending on your home’s square footage.

Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.

Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.

If you’re doing a full bathroom remodel, the flooring will go in before the vanity and any other bathroom cabinetry. This will ensure that the same floor is present across your whole bathroom should you ever tear out your vanity and start again. 

If you can only budget for one or the other, you can still replace just the vanity in your bathroom. Just keep in mind that if you decide to replace your flooring later, you’ll need to tear out the vanity to avoid having mismatched floors.
