"Highly professional and reliable. The team at Absolute Floors showed up on time, worked efficiently, and delivered beautiful flooring. I couldn?t be happier."
"Steve was a lifesaver. We had a very unusual and small floor. They removed the old floor, had to put in a new subfloor and worked well past the expected deadline to get everything done perfectly. Thanks so much guys. Highly recommend!"
"The floor looked great after sanding and with the layers of sealing, is beautiful. Greg was professional and courteous. He came when he said he would. I would recommend him to anyone needing a floor refinished."
"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!"
"Rental property Quickly removed old flooring and prepped for replacement. After completion of carpet, we inspected installation and noted on several stairs the carpet wasn?t lined up correctly. Called to fix they repaired quickly. Within one week linoleum floor bubbled up, called back came out to fix had to replace entire floor. Couldn?t get the same flooring had to pic new color/pattern. Fix went well."
"Leon did a fantastic job installing our new laminate floors. Ours was a challenging installation, replacing five different types of flooring across seven rooms. He leveled out the irregularities, corrected squeaks and other tough areas - he really pays attention to details. The individual planks are all beautifully laid out mindful of the pattern and location of the seams. Leon was extremely accommodating about our schedule as well, working around some delayed and shipping-damaged material. A true professional, we cannot recommend Leon too highly. Our thanks to HomeAdvisor for connecting us!"
"They responded quickly to all correspondence. Their work was done with thoughtful consideration, attention to detail, and quality craftsmanship. Very professional and courteous. I would definitely use again."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.
Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
Costs depend on carpet type, labor rates, and additional services like padding or transitions.
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.
Bamboo floors are fairly low-maintenance. You’ll need to sweep or vacuum them regularly to remove debris and rub off scuffs quickly to prevent permanent damage. Bamboo is vulnerable to moisture, so wipe up spills immediately to prevent permanent damage. When comparing bamboo flooring vs. hardwood, you’ll notice that the maintenance requirements are similar for both types of flooring.
Few home upgrades add resale value above their installation cost, including terrazzo floors. However, they are still a good option if you like the look. While terrazzo may be expensive, it has a solid return on investment of around 55% to 70%. The durability and low maintenance requirements of terrazzo can be appealing selling points, as many buyers will appreciate flooring that can last 40 to 100 years.
