"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!!!"

"I worked with Mark Taus a flooring specialist. He was well prepared and helped me choose the right floor for my needs. He even made sure I received the best deal possible. The floors aren’t complete yet but so far I’m impressed."

"Henry and Maryann were the team whom refinished our complete wood flooring. When we first met them, we immediately new this was the company to go with. They knew their work inside and out, answered our questions, plus gave us so much more knowledge to care for our floors. They spent 2 days to do our complete wood floor and it looks like a brand new floor. I love it!!"

"Our 7 yr. old carpeting needed to be re stretched. I Googled and found '616', as it's close to us. Very personable and professional. Very thorough. They explained the process well. We had them clean the carpeting as well. My husband and I are beyond happy with the re stretching job. The huge ripples are gone. The carpet looks as good as new now, thanks to them. We are VERY satisfied. Thank you '616'!! You saved the day! Diane C. Brooklyn, OH"

"He was very professional and does excellent work. I had a floor repair and before I could go and pick up supplies for the repair they had already repaired the floor before I returned. They removed the old carpet, repaired the floor, moved the furniture, installed new carpet and cleaned up before moving on to the next room. When I saw them vacuuming the first room before starting on the second room I knew I would forever use this company for all future carpet installations. The added plus was that they were inexpensive too! Thanks again"

"Dustin was professional and very easy to work with. He gave us a timeline on when he thought hed be able to start, and how long it would take him. His estimated timeline turned out to be very accurate. Dustin worked on our floors for three days, and after each day of work he communicated to us what was done, explained the process, and answered any questions we had. We are very happy with how our floors look and I would highly recommend using Dustin."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

When it comes to linoleum versus laminate, the better choice depends on your personal needs. Linoleum tends to last longer but is more difficult to install. Laminate is less eco-friendly and less durable, but it is easy to install without a professional. 

Both options come in a wide variety of styles, but many prefer the look of laminate. Laminate and linoleum are affordable flooring options compared to hardwood or tile, but laminate costs less at about $0.70 to $2 per square foot.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

The fastest way to remove carpet is to remove carpet in strips instead of trying to remove it in one large piece. Wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, use a utility knife to cut the carpet in long strips, and then pull at the edge of the strip to loosen the staples or glue. Carpet-cutting razor blades are best on your utility knife for the quickest removal.

Sometimes, professional floor cleaning isn't enough to remove all the set-in grime and odors that have accumulated over the years. In other instances, your flooring might be nearing the end of its lifespan after more than a decade. If that's the case, it might be time to replace your flooring and start fresh. 

The cost to install flooring ranges from $1,500 to $4,460 for a 500-square-foot room. The overall price you pay depends on the size of your room and the flooring type you choose.

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.
