"Priority Flooring out of Elizabeth, NJ performed an outstanding job. Once the work was completed the floors were absolutely beautiful. The worker handled my furniture with care and cleaned as they went along with the installation. I will definitely use them again, and refer their company to anyone I know who is looking to have floors installed or refinished. They are definitely a five star excellent company. They did not over charge us and the prices were affordable."

"I couldn’t be happier with the service, price, and quality provided by WoodLand Carpet & Floors! From start to finish, Maynor and his team were professional and incredibly knowledgeable. The installation was flawless. The crew worked efficiently, paying close attention to every detail, and left my home spotless afterward. The quality of their work truly exceeded my expectations and the flooring looks stunning. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled flooring company, I highly recommend Maynor and his team. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is unmatched. I will definitely be using them for future projects!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

No, replacing flooring is considered a renovation. You're updating an existing feature without changing the layout or structure of the space. However, it can be a remodel if extensive work is needed to update the subflooring.

There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. 

Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. 

Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. 

New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it’s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear.
