"The installers were highly competent and professional, but for whatever reason they came up short on the oak flooring, and the warehouse had none of baseboard trim in stock the morning they came to our house so they had to come back a week or so later to complete the project."

"My experience was great! Rick made sure that I was happy with the work during the process. When choosing the stain he left his opinion out and gave us the facts need to make a decision. He was able to replace a few boards with pieces of fir without having to take them from a closet as other companies who gave us quotes said they would need to do. I am very pleased with the outcome of my floors and highly recommend Cutting Edge to anyone in need of floor refinishing. It was worth every penny, a little extra cost was well worth it."

"My kitchen floor came out beautiful. It is over 20 years old and really needed to be sanded and polyurethane put on. The old stains came out and the floor looked like new again! So pleased with the workmanship done and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Tom to do your hardwood floors. You won't be disappointed."

Small jobs welcome

"No job is too big or too small. My home is over 100 yrs old and Tony refinished the original oak pegged living and dining room floors for me five years ago. He just completed refinishing the original wood floors in my upstairs bedrooms and hallway after years of being covered with wall to wall carpet. He has also installed luxury vinyl plank flooring in my family room. Excellent workmanship from start to finish. Reasonable and reliable. Excellent workmanship from start to finish! Would highly recommend"

Hardwood Flooring FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Vinyl and laminate flooring can have a similar life span. Both well-maintained laminate and luxury vinyl flooring can last up to 25 years. The exception is the thinner type of vinyl flooring that comes in sheets and lasts less than 10 years. It’s important to note that vinyl is waterproof, whereas you can ruin laminate if it absorbs too much moisture.

Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.

It takes about one to two days to remove carpet and install laminate flooring for small and medium-sized rooms. A larger room may take an extra day to complete. If you’re replacing flooring throughout your house, expect closer to one to two weeks, depending on your home’s square footage.

Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.
