As a small independent retailer since 1972, we keep our overhead low enabling us to pass on savings to you. As a member of the Abbey buying group of 800 member stores, we have buying power and selection. Our lifetime residential installation warranty is second to none. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced. We realize when people come to us it is to find a flooring solution from someone that they can trust. We will only sell products for specific areas where they will perform, and we won’t sell you a product that won’t be right for your application. We do not offer free installation since our installer’s wives won’t let them work for free. Our pricing is straight forward, without gimmicks, and is usually less than the competition’s sale or discounted price. We invite you to come in and visit our extensive carpet, tile, wood, cork, linoleum, and luxury vinyl showrooms.

"Amazing job! I have already recommended Riverview Carpet and Flooring to several people. The whole experience from beginning to end was excellent!"

Transform your home with Doran Hard Surfaces. We have the hardwood floor installation and refinishing expertise to bring your vision to life. Contact us today for exceptional service and quality craftsmanship.

"The initial consultation was fine, but after the work had begun it became a very stressful experience. During the consultation I understood the new floor boards at the end of my hallway would be installed the same direction as the existing floor boards (see pictures). When I showed up after installation had begun the new boards at the end of the hall were going the opposite direction of the existing boards. When I called Ron Doran about it he explained the floor joists in that part of the house were going the opposite direction and the floor boards have to lay across the joists. I asked him if there was anything we could do and he said no, I asked if we could add boards between the joists to add support so that at least the last 6 feet of the hall could be the same direction of existing floor and he said no, so I asked if I could sign a waiver and he said no and then gave me an ultimatum, if I continued to ask him to do this then he would walk away from the job. (Mind you this was all during two phone conversation in about an hours time). Throughout this conversation he was impatient and ultimately raised his voice at me and got extremely defensive. It was incredibly unprofessional. He never informed me that the floor would be installed this way and if he didn’t know initially when he found out he should have let me know (we were in daily communication via text or phone through the whole installation). Once the job was complete we waited a week before moving into our new house and I did call him 5 days after the job was done to ask if we could use pine sol on the floor and he replied promptly which I appreciated. But then once we moved in and examined the floors we found multiple issues; there was floor stain spilled down our basement steps, three rings of spilled stain on the basement floor, a piece of baseboard molding missing in one bedroom, uneven sanding/staining on floors, and several gouges and holes that weren’t properly filled in. Overall I am not 100% satisfied with the work and I’m certainly not satisfied with the interactions I had with Don Doran. I was nothing but polite and respectful to him and I even helped him unload the oak wood planks when he arrived by himself to drop them off (I have a flight of stairs getting into the house), so I saw no reason why he was so impatient and rude to me when I had questions and concerns. I will not be working with this company in the future."

PA055967-James A. Munion had a start just like anyone else, at the very bottom. He swept up the work shop for a company called Dotson brothers when he was only 12 years old. Mr. Dotson said to James A.: “I actually can’t believe that you moved the glue buckets out of the way to sweep in the corners. The last kid we had never took the time to do that.” From that day forward, James had a permanent place at Dotson Brothers. He quickly moved on to shop hand, and was allowed to help create the laminate counter tops the company made. After only a short amount of time, Mr. Dotson had trusted Jim with crafting them on his own. Jim took to it with excellent initiative. However, after an extended amount of time creating counter tops, it was time to move on with his career… James’ grandmother owned a two car garage she rented out for tenants. The day he said he was going to start his own business, she, (politely as an italian-broken-english-speaking grandmother could,) kicked out the two tenants immediately and gave him his work shop. Since that very day, we have been running the business out of that very same two car garage. We have been family owned and operated since we turned the power on in the shop, in 1978. Kitchen & Bath Remodeling - Cabinets, Vanities, Cabinet Refacing, New Cabinets, Bar Tops

"Highly recommend, great work, reasonable pricing, hard workers, easy to work with, amazing attention to detail, skilled craftsmen, and great people."

We specialize in creating custom cabinet and countertop solutions for your kitchen, bath or any other part of your home.

"I started working with Jim Seibert of Trademark Cabinet Company this summer in preparation for a significant kitchen overhaul in my townhouse. From the beginning, he was open to my questions and preferences, and helped me plan and design cabinets to fit in the existing footprint but far surpassed the functionality of my 1980s cabinets. When it came time to do the demo in October, he and his crew were both friendly and professional, and cleaned up after themselves. I watched them repeatedly do calm and focused problem-solving on the fly, and they finished earlier than we expected. Then when they brought the gorgeous cabinets we chose, they were meticulous in their installation and gracious as I watched the whole process from my spot on the stairs. The finished product was superb, the price very competitive, and I only have compliments for their work."

FAQs for backsplash installation projects in Monessen, PA

The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.

The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small project to $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.

Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size. 

Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
