"I highly recommend Al and his team at Floor Installations Inc. They laid a new hardwood floor in my kitchen and refinished the hardwood floors in my living room, dining room, hallway and stairs. He responded quickly to my request and completed the job to accommodate my schedule. They were prompt, courteous and addressed all my needs. I was hesitant to pull up my rugs and refinish my floors but I’m so glad I did. They look absolutely amazing. Thanks to Al and his team!!"

"The work was top notch. The floors look beautiful,like new. The prices can be stressful when you are still living in the house but Oak Tree did everything that they could to help such as helping us move furniture. I would recommend them without reservation. I am thrilled with my new floors and they are just really nice people also. Thanks Oak Tree!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can’t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.

The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation—these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it’s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference. However, as a rule of thumb, lighter-colored carpets and walls will open up a room and often make it feel larger than it really is. On the other hand, darker shades tend to shrink a space, making it feel cozier. By mixing and matching light and dark colors, you can add dimension to the room.
