"I recently moved to a senior home that was built in 1965; VERY little has been done to update this place since then. The oak hardwood floors were a MESS! They were very worn and full of (pet) stains throughout. While the quote from 3M was slightly higher than another quote I got, they were available when I needed them. Marcelo and his crew did a FANTASTIC job! The floors look amazing. They also put oak hardwood in the master bedroom and hallway that had been there when built but replaced by previous owners with cheap snap flooring in a hideous color. It was a BIG job but the results were beautiful. I would highly recommend 3M Mello Hardwood Floors, Inc. to anyone who asks. They were professional and answered any questions I had to my full satisfaction. 3M will be my “go to” for any future work I may require."

Doctor Dustless; the BEST Floor Contractor in the United States. And I can prove it!

On February 18, I made a call to Dr. Dustless. I had just had two experiences with floor refinishers and was looking for someone who would treat my home as if it were their own. Both floor refinishers came from Angies List. I must say, I am not a big fan of Angies List. I have over a dozen calls out to contractors who have still not returned my calls. Even with A+ ratings, I have found many Angies List contractors either never call you back or don’t have time to take on more work. Anyway, Emil at Dr. Dustless picked up the phone. I explained to Emil that I have been looking to stain my floor the color grey. Besides the fact that the color grey is a very difficult color to stain a hardwood floor, it was something that Emil felt may not be something he wanted to do. The color grey is a very difficult color to stain a hardwood floor and the results are mediocre at best. I then told Emil I found an oil that will stain a floor grey and will look like no other floor you’ve seen. With over 20 years in the floor business Emil said; I don’t think that is something I want to do. He had a bad experience with a custom color and didn’t want to revisit another bad experience.

Then I got to convincing him. I told him I spoke with a Bona technician in London who would provide me samples of the color grey that he’d never seen before. I am unsure Emil believed me. He told me to send over some pictures of the samples they made and he would think about it.

After seeing the samples he called me. He said he was interested in entertaining the project. Emil came by to measure my floors. After about an hour he said he would get back to me with an estimate. We spoke throughout that hour and must say, Emil’s knowledge of floors and staining far exceeds his time in this business (almost 30 years). When Emil left I told my wife he was hired. I knew he was the right guy/company for this project. His A+ rating on Angies List also made it an easy hire.

I told Emil that Bona, [the manufacture] did not sell the product in the United States. The biggest issue was the American Red Oak used in the States. I had to send samples of American Red Oak to London. Those samples were sent to Sweden where Bona’s headquarters are located. The Bona lab techs spent 8 days experimenting on my American Red Oak and came up with a formula to produce a grey floor like you’ve never seen. The products were sent to me and I met with Emil to have him work with the formula. The results were remarkable. I placed an order for the formula. The technicians in London found a Bona factory in Germany that had the oil mix we needed. That shipment was sent to London and then to me. All this time Emil and I kept in touch scheduling and re-scheduling days to work on this floor until the materials arrived. If there is anything I can say about Emil is that he is passionate about floors. As I stated before, his knowledge of floors far exceeds his years in this business. Not once did my calls ever go to voicemail or texts go unanswered. I have counted over 150 texts between me and Emil. All which were always answered. You never get that communication with contractors…ever.

The job begins…Emil said he would be at my home to start work by 8:30 am. They were here at 8:30am. In the two weeks spent at my home, Emil and his crew never showed up late or left early. The two previous floor contractors all told me they would be here by 8:30; Emil and his crew were the only contractors who ever showed on time every single day. And unlike the two previous floor contractors, the floor techs worked the entire day; straight till 5:30.

Over the course of the project we ran into some staining issues. Emil and I had to schedule conference calls with the Bona techs in London. Again, Emil ALWAYS made himself available. With Emil on the phone with the Bona technicians Emil was able to explain our issues and how different the oil reacted to floors when outside a laboratory. Needless to say we continued to move forward.

Finally, after two weeks my floors are done. With the exception of some issues due solely by the product, the floors look amazing. Just amazing. I can say with confidence that no one in the United States has a floor like mine. I can also say that the floors would not look this good without Emil and his crew doing the work. I say this after having two other floor technicians attempt to do what Emil did. Have a look at the pictures attached. I assure you, you’ve never seen a floor like this.

It isn’t often you find a person who runs a business and is so involved with the day to day operations of his team in the field. That’s where Emil and Dr. Dustless separates himself from the rest. If Emil did plumbing, he’d be my plumber, if he fixed cars he’d be my mechanic, if he was a doctor he’d be my doctor.  It isn’t often I write reviews, let alone reviews this long, but this is well deserved.

If anyone would like to contact me directly as a reference for Doctor Dustless, please email me at [email protected]. And yes, it is absolutely true, Emil’s dustless system produces no dust. We could not believe it!

"Very pleased with the result. Stephen spent a lot of time talking with my wife and I about our options and gave us a fair price quote. The floor had been covered with carpet for the last 50 years, and when it was ripped up, he discovered that there were pet stains. Realizing that we were price conscious, Stephen said he and the team would take the extra time to try to mitigate the stain at no additional cost to us. I'd definitely recommend Extreme Flooring."

"CH Hardwood floors responded quickly to my message. They came to look at the job the same day. They gave me a good quote and were on site in less than a week. They came to the house early in the morning on finished sanding and coating my floors by 2:30pm. There was a stain on the floor that they were able to repair. The floors came out beautifully. Great job guys!"

"I had a large floor with several unmatched areas due to fading from the sun. They sanded, stained, and clear coated the floor. Color was a perfect match to the floor in the rest of the house. One person who saw the results asked me for their name and number. Highly recommended."

Flooring Installation FAQs, answered by experts

You may be wondering, how long does carpet last? It depends on the type. For your Berber carpet, it should last 10 to 15 years with regular cleaning and maintenance. For the longest lifespan possible, you should call in a carpet cleaner for a deep cleaning at least once a year. 

Also, you can opt for higher-quality Berber carpet and underlayment which will last longer. And if you have pets, make sure to house-train them and use extra rugs in areas you expect high foot traffic.

Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.
