"When I tell you these guys are pros, they are pros. I love having referrals instead of big companies and Sandman was one of the best referrals we've ever had. They have done two of our floors and both look amazing. The first floor was a re-finish of an existing floor and the other was tearing out the entire floor and starting from the floorboards. Their process is fantastic and they usually finish one floor in about 4 days. They are also great at communication and John let's you know where you are at in the process at all times. If you want your hardwood floor done right, this is the company you want to do it. If we ever need our floors done again, I will be calling them out. On top of their great work, they are extremely nice, polite, and they will let you know when they need something. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
"The workers were very professional and did the work without any delays or excuses. My garage floor looks great and I've gotten compliments on it as well as a neighbor wanting to refer them to their daughter."
"Floor Coverings International-Cleveland installed our floors any we couldn't be happier! I am impressed at how well they all worked together!

If you are choosing between a big box store and them like we were, choose Floor Coverings International, you will not regret it!"
"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!"
"Rolando’s did an amazing job. Extremely happy with the work that they did stretching and repairing our carpeting. They also did an a fantastic job cleaning the carpet. On time on schedule will be calling Rolando’s for all my flooring needs.."
"Steve and Diane are great at what they do. I have pine floors in my bedroom and there was no sealant nor any shine on the floor. It was very worn out looking for wood floors. Steve and Diane sanded the floor, stained it, and then sealed it. My floor looks amazing now. They did a GREAT JOB!"
"Luiz is great to work with, very patient and accommodating. The floor looks and feels good. Reasonable pricing. I don't think you can go wrong with L&R flooring"
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, your kitchen flooring should extend under your dishwasher. It is essential for creating a level and stable surface for the appliance and preventing moisture from seeping into the subflooring, which is costly to repair. Working with a kitchen contractor will ensure the new flooring accounts for the height of the dishwasher so it sits under the countertop properly without any glaring gaps.
It’s better to lift and set down furniture; sliding it across the floor is more likely to cause damage to both the floor and the furniture itself. For very heavy items, consider using a dolly with rubber wheels. It is possible to purchase sliders designed specifically for gliding furniture across floors, but you still risk causing permanent damage to flooring if you use them.
Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.
Without walls, other options to quiet an open space are to add noise-dampening materials like rugs, carpets, curtains, and soft furniture. These can act as a barrier to block and absorb sound. More expensive alternatives include acoustic panels, room dividers and temporary walls, and more advanced soundproofing.
Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.
When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.
