"I can’t say enough good things about Tomahawk Flooring. Richard and his father were knowledgeable, skilled, professional and quick to respond whenever I had a question. They installed laminate flooring in seven rooms of our house including two bathrooms and did a great job. The floor looks wonderful. I highly recommend them."

"As a Property Manager, I can not think of a flooring contractor I would recommend more than Minuteman Floors. While in a time crunch and running out of viable options, the owner, Stephan , showed up on time, gave an honest and reasonable estimate, and had his guys finishing carpeting in our Offices less than 24 Hrs after initial meeting. His crew was polite, respectful, and hard working. Thank you again for going above and beyond!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I am most pleased with the quality of work, the excellent communication, the follow thru on commitments and the schedule kept.This flooring of about 900 sq.ft.and rebuilding of two stair ways had to be done in twp phases and at my request it required several return visits over a period of weeks. Ron made it easy for me to schedule the other trades so my entire kitchen and family room renovation project went smoothly... Also ----The "Ron Wilson and Son Hardwood Floors" price was very fair and reasonable.-----Thank You Ron"

"Steve and his team gave us an quote that was hard to refuse. So just in case I checked a couple references who gave glowing reviews. And work commenced fairly soon thereafter and I couldn't be happier! The floors look amazing! They did a great job, kept the house clean (though we & they had it easy because it was empty.) The only downside was they showed up 15 minutes late, but the work was solid â  and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to get hardwood floors refinished, want stunning results, and look for value."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.

When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.

One reason that laminate flooring has grown in popularity is that it can be installed on top of some kinds of existing flooring, therefore saving money and time. However, don’t install laminate flooring over carpet since it may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, carpet is often too plush and soft to properly support a laminate flooring system.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

To properly maintain and care for hardwood floors without damaging the finish, establish a regular cleaning routine. Sweep with a broom or microfiber dust mop daily, or vacuum weekly, to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface; be sure to clean in tight corners and under furniture. For a deeper clean, use a damp mop with a cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors, but avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the wood. You can further protect your floors by placing mats at entryways to catch dirt and moisture and putting felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. For long-term care, refinish the floors as needed to keep them looking their best.
