"We had our kitchen vinyl replaced in March 2020 shortly before the governor issued a Stay at Home Order due to Covid. Our kitchen is the hub of our home, and I was so grateful to experience the esthetic difference new flooring made then and now as we spend more time at home. The installers did an amazing job, it was very reasonably priced, and I wish we had done it sooner."

"Refloor did a great job on my basement and laundry room floors. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and made picking a color easy. My old floors were scratched up because of my dogs but my new floor is definitely more durable. I definitely recommend Refloor to anyone that wants new flooring in their home, you won't be disappointed!"

"A week before my house was to be placed on the market, my 6yo accidentally knocked over a can of white paint onto my hardwood floor. I immediately called the professionals, Footprints Flooring, to have them lead me in the right direction. They were able to come out at a moments notice and did an incredible job blending the dull, discolored area of my hardwood flooring. Very professional, prompt and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!"

"I now have the most beautiful kitchen floor ever! It was a great project. Very well done. Excellently installed. And the customer service was way above any other customer service Iâ ve experienced. Read on for the details. This was my first experience with Flooring International Cincinnati. From the very first meeting I could tell that Katie's attention to detail would be quite an asset to my project. My home is 140 years old and is located in a flood zone. It's been through many floods the last big one being in 1997. It was well past time to replace the kitchen flooring. Being the middle of the pandemic I wasnâ t sure anyone would want to take on our job but Katie and Colin, both wearing masks, assured me that they could do the job with upmost safety. Katie immediately realized that our situation was odd. The very uneven floor would require special care. l wanted the vinyl click lock planks but Katie knew that the glue down vinyl planks would be a better solution if installed over new ¼â underlayment. They brought several samples and I found one that would work. The contract was signed and the product ordered but Covid-19 had been wreaking havoc with supply chains for months and several weeks later Katie learned that the color I wanted was no longer available. Katie and Colin searched through additional manufacturers for a replacement and brought me several mores samples to choose from the very next day. Interestingly, among these samples was a color that was absolutely perfect and much better than the original I chose. Sometimes setbacks allow for better outcomes. The work was scheduled in mid-November 2020. The installers arrived 7:30 am and didnâ t leave till 7:30 pm. Their attention to detail was superior. It was beautifully installed. Since it was being installed during the pandemic and because it was glue down installation I kept doors and windows open to allow for plenty of air flow. The glue had very little odor. All the installers wore masks at all times as they worked on our floor. They were very respectful and answered all my questions throughout the day with no hesitation. I have the most beautiful kitchen floor ever! So pleased that I hired Flooring International Cincinnati. Will definitely hire them again."

"Bobby and his crew were great! Bobby was a wonderful, responsible project manager, who stopped by at the beginning and throughout the project to ensure everything was done correctly. His crew is full of efficient, really great men and we are very impressed with their work. They arrived on time every day, did expert work, and completed the project much quicker than we expected. I would highly recommend Lovell's Hardwood Flooring to anyone who has any sort of hardwood flooring needs."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. 

Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. 

Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood.
