What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

Is Berber carpet a good choice for bedrooms?

• <div><p>Berber is a loop pile carpet known for its strength, durability, and distinct looped look. It can be made from a number of different carpet materials, including nylon and wool. However, Berber isn’t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn’t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it’s a good style of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-living-room.htm">carpet for living rooms</a>).</p><p>With that said, if you really like the look of Berber, you can still install it in your bedroom—it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.</p></div>

What type of flooring is best for dogs, cats, and other pets?

• <div><p>Luxury <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/luxury-vinyl-flooring-good-choice-pets.htm">vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners</a>, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.</p><p>As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).</p></div>

Q: Can you put flooring directly on concrete?

• <div><p>Because concrete is porous, installing flooring directly onto the surface is not a good idea. Any moisture within the concrete due to atmospheric conditions or seasonal humidity can seep into your flooring, causing warping or damage. In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need to install at least a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring you choose.</p></div>

Q: How often do I need to replace my flooring?

• <div><p>The need to replace your flooring depends on the type of flooring and the amount of wear and tear it experiences through foot traffic. For example, you should replace carpet every ten years, but other, more durable options like tile can last up to 30 years. It&rsquo;s best to speak with your flooring installation professional to determine the best course for replacing your flooring. </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...
