Do you glue down carpet padding?

• <div><p>If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-glued-carpet.htm">Removing a glued-down carpet</a> can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.</p></div>

Should I replace or refinish my floors?

• <div><p>There are some circumstances that may require a full replacement of your hardwood floors, such as major flooding or crowning of the boards. Learn more about these specific situations in our article, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/costs-vs-benefits-hardwood-flooring-repair.htm"><i>Should You Repair Or Replace Your Hardwood Floors</i></a>, to identify whether or not it makes more sense to take on a refinishing project or completely replace them.</p></div>

Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring for a wood stove?

• <div><p>Not every type of flooring is well suited to a wood stove. However, ceramic or stone tiles are good choices since they are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. Softer flooring options, like carpet, could be damaged by the heat produced by a wood stove&mdash;or even create a fire hazard. </p></div>

Q: Why are my laminate floors still dirty after mopping?

• <div><p>Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.</p></div>

Anders was an awesome find. Helped me work through a tedious kitchen remodel, from demo to floor, levelling, framing, and window installation. Always showed up and was thorough and self-directed.

We've got Brazilian cherry floors that had been finished with a dark gloss. Gordon and his crew took extra care to remove all of the old finish, provide a natural satin finish and cleanup afterwards. We're delighted with the job and would recommend Gordon highly.

It went very well as usual with Swell City. When I built my house originally, they did all the flooring, and they did a fantastic job, so when I wanted to replace some things, they came through once again, and it looks great. I really like this place, and they are local. It's always enjoy...
