"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 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!!"

"These guys did an amazing job repairing the squeaky subfloor in my master bedroom they came the day after I called, lifted the carpet, diagnose the problem, bought the supplies made the repairs replaced the plywood, returned my carpet back to its original space, put all the furniture back and cleaned up meticulously. I came home to a beautiful squeak, free bedroom floor all for a reasonable price. I was thrilled I would definitely use Arias for any of my flooring needs moving forward."

"David and his team did an amazing job on our floors. They refinished our existing hardwood floors and installed new flooring in part of our home, and everything blends together perfectly. David promised to finish the job in three days, and he delivered exactly as promised. The team was always on time, cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, and kept the house as neat as possible throughout the project. The quality of the work really stands out. The floors are beautiful, and they paid attention to every detail, especially around the kitchen cabinets, closets, edges, and the stairs. The dustless sanding system also made a huge difference. Best of all, there were no surprise charges. David was honest, easy to work with, and always responsive. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would definitely hire him again!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.

Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren’t perfectly square.

Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48  hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.

Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the cost of refinishing hardwood floors and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.
