Q: When remodeling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

• <div><p>Contractors commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cabinets-or-flooring-first.htm">install floors before cabinets</a> during a kitchen remodel. It&rsquo;s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.</p></div>

Q: Are carpeted stairs safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you stack laminate flooring to acclimate?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring should be stacked horizontally and laid flat to avoid any warping or stress to the boards. To stack it, you should do so in a grid with each row of flooring packages positioned at a 90-degree angle to the layer beneath it. This will provide the best support so the flooring will not sag in the middle.</p></div>

Q: Do you start carpeting stairs at the top or bottom?

• <div><p>When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You&rsquo;ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.</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>

"Hired company to epoxy two car garage. Took them three weeks to complete job because of weather. Initial problem with sanding residue from garage floor ending up on my car parked in the driveway. Brought to attention of owner first thing in the morning. He responded in 10 minutes and took my car to local deluxe car wash. Problem corrected. Job looks very nice. They also sealed some cracks in cinder block foundation. I would hire them again."
