"I highly recommend Eagle Hardwood Flooring. Thiago and his team are the utmost professionals and their work is outstanding. I can not say enough great things about Eagle Hardwood Flooring. My floors look spectacular and I have received so many compliments. Thiago and his team go above and beyond."
"After having my existing floors refinished very poorly by another company, I knew I would not be using them to sand and stain brand new unfinished hardwood that I had installed in the rest of my house. I had called Sal based on a recommendation from a contractor. He came to my house the same day and gave me a very reasonable estimate shortly after he left. He was very responsive and easily reachable for any questions I had before and during the work. His crew was neat, effective and did a beautiful job on my new floors. My only regret is not calling Sal sooner and hiring him for the first job. I would highly recommend him and his company and I plan on using them to redo the terrible job that was done on my other floors."
"Job had to be done in stages, due to furniture being moved to other rooms and wall-to-wall carpet removal. Fabian's suggestions led to better results than anticipated, and the 52 year old floors look practically like new - and absolutely beautiful! Fabian and his sons were friendly, accommodating, and professional."
"The flooring looks great. Most appreciative of owners patience and expertise in the planning. Went the extra mile. Look forward to more projects. Many thanks."
"100% satisfaction. Floors and stairs exceeded my expectations. Dave and his crew were punctual and professional. Dave finished the entire house on time. Very reasonable price as well. If you are looking to resand/refinish hardwood floors don't waste time researching, just hire Tully Spagnoli, you won't be disappointed."
"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"
"Javier is the best! He tore up old carpet flooring and installed wood floors incredibly fast and did an amazing job. We also hired him for some interior painting that was done in no time and looks great. We would absolutely use him again for all our flooring and painting needs!"
"Jeff and Amy were wonderful! They found a perfect floor for me. Jeff did a wonderful job of installation. Affordable prices, great work and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend CXM floors."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.
While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.
Natural options like stone tile, hardwood, cork, bamboo, and natural linoleum are among the healthier flooring choices available. On the flip side, carpet and carpet padding are among the biggest culprits when it comes to releasing potentially hazardous chemicals into your home. Artificial, manufactured options like vinyl and engineered wood may also contain and emit VOCs.
In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.
If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.
