"I can safely say this is the best carpet cleaning and repair business in the Buffalo area if not all of Western New York and beyond. Brad is passionate about what he does. Polite, hardworking, and professional. I had a carpet repair and cleaning done by him and I could not be more satisfied if I tried. The work done was efficient, done in a timely manner, and was easy on the pocket book. The problem with most companies is that they clock in and out and do not put passion into what they are doing. This is not the case with carpet star. Brad explains his work and the process just like the customer was working alongside him and you can see the drive in him. I am extremely pleased and grateful that I found this company. If you are looking for carpet installation, flooring installation, cleaning/repair or just a company that has outstanding character, this company should be #1 on your list. Well worth the money"

"VMV was incredible. I totally to cover my furniture and they put plastic around everything as soon as they go there to make sure nothing got dirty in the process. My floors look beautiful, I got a hardened wood composite. The contractor that sold us the flooring told us it would be a week maybe a week and a half. This crew got it done in 4 days! They had to demolish my old wooden floors too. They are so pretty, it makes the space look so much larger and brighter. Thanks VMV. You guys rock."

"Roger is communicative, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He completed a large-scale renovation in my living room and dining rooms, tearing down old plaster walls and ceiling, installing new drywall, canned lighting, new flooring, and trim. He kept me informed throughout the project. I highly recommend Nickel City Repair and look forward to having Roger back for the next project."

"Tony has done a lot of work for us. Everything from painting, removing wall paper, adding wall molding, flooring install. Removing and replacing light fixtures. We keep going back to him for more and more work as we get newly bought house in order. He does exceptional work. Very professional, always on time, and communicates progress or if something is taking longer than expected. I can’t speak highly enough about the work he’s done! He’s very competitive when it comes to pricing. Haven’t found anyone with better pricing!"

"I had an excellent experience with SZ Home Construction?. They completed the chimney maintenance, cleaning, and painting professionally and at a very reasonable price. The work was finished on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail and respect for cleanliness ? they cleaned the entire area thoroughly after finishing the job, leaving everything neat and organized. Their team was polite, calm, and very easy to deal with. They worked smoothly and quietly without creating unnecessary noise or disturbance, which made the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. I also appreciated their professional and legal payment process through bank checks, which added an extra level of trust and reliability. I highly recommend SZ Home Construction? to anyone looking for honest, professional, and high-quality home service work."

Flooring Installation FAQs, answered by experts

When it comes to linoleum versus laminate, the better choice depends on your personal needs. Linoleum tends to last longer but is more difficult to install. Laminate is less eco-friendly and less durable, but it is easy to install without a professional. 

Both options come in a wide variety of styles, but many prefer the look of laminate. Laminate and linoleum are affordable flooring options compared to hardwood or tile, but laminate costs less at about $0.70 to $2 per square foot.

Although hardwood floors have a costly upfront expense, most homeowners find them to be worth the investment. They are incredibly durable and can last for decades with proper maintenance. Hardwood floors can also provide a high return on investment (ROI)—up to 118% on average—and add significant value and appeal to your home. Additionally, because they are easy to keep free of dust, pollen, and pet dander, they can sometimes help alleviate allergies for household members.

Vinyl floors last between 10 and 25 years on average when you care for them and protect them against water damage, though higher-quality vinyl can last longer.

If your vinyl flooring has heavy wear and tear or if it's peeling, it's a good time to do a reinstallation. Other signs your flooring is nearing the end of its lifespan include bubbling, heat-damaged planks or tiles, and discoloration.

Most cities accept old carpet as bulk trash, typically without any nails or glue on the base of the carpet. You may be required to request a specific pickup and wrap the carpet into specific bags. You can also visit your local recycling center and pay a small fee to have the carpet materials recovered.

The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future carpet repair costs, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.
