"Defender Flooring did an awesome job on my floors and they were professional from day one. The entire process went smoothly from choosing the stain to recommending what to use on my floors afterwards. I would not only recommend them, I would hire Defender Flooring again."
"Amilcar was patient, friendly and professional. He wasn't rushed while working and he was very concerned that I'd be completely satisfied with the outcome of the repairs he made to my carpet as well as the re-installation of my carpet, before accepting payment! His price was more than fair and competitive with the other estimates I received. He never once tried to upcharge me (as some professionals do - after they arrive). I whole heartedly recommend Amilcar of Best Flooring! I'm very satisfied with his work and price."
"I recently hired Milton and his company to replace my laminated flooring, which had been damaged by a flood. They did an outstanding job, installing beautiful tile flooring and completing all the work in just five days. I’m extremely pleased with the quality, professionalism, and efficiency they demonstrated throughout the project. Milton was easy to communicate with and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I’m so happy with the results that I already plan to rehire him next spring to renovate my kitchen. Highly recommend!"
"Great work by Marcin; he gutted the old tile floors in the kitchen and replaced with new hardwood floors complete with leveling as well as updating our living room floor; meticulous and professional dude. He also gave us care instructions for our new wood floors. Overall would recommend him and his company"
"Adam and his crew did a fantastic job of refinishing our living room and dining room floors. Adam went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with his work. He takes pride in his work and truly cares about his customers. He excels at his craft. I would highly recommend Ontario Flooring."
"Eguz Wood Flooring refinished our bedroom floor. The work entailed sanding, staining, and applying several coats of polyurethane. The work was completed promptly and the results were excellent. We intend to hire Eddy again to refinish our dining room flooring."
"Showplace did a fantastic job on my floor replacement. We had our basement redone, carpet torn out and new flooring installed. They we're by far the most professional, clean and courteous company i had out to work on my home. Will recommend again and again."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
New carpet installation offers warmth, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. It can improve indoor air quality by trapping dust particles and provides a sound-dampening effect, which is beneficial for creating quiet environments.
Sometimes carpet and carpet padding can be recycled together. Many companies and organizations that recycle used carpeting also accept old carpet padding. However, the two require separate processes to recycle. For this reason, some recycling facilities aren't able to accept both carpet and carpet padding.
A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.
When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.
If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.
