Q: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not. </p></div>

Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

Q: Does a root cellar need a dirt floor?

• <div><p>Some root cellars are made with concrete, but a dirt floor may be better for your crops' longevity. Dirt can help maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity level, while the concrete might suck up all the moisture. Dirt floors can also bring down the overall cost of your root cellar. But, if you&rsquo;re going with a dirt floor, make sure you properly insulate between your house and the root cellar.</p></div>

Q: How do you measure stairs for a carpet runner?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you&rsquo;d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.</p></div>

Q: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>

TCB paving did an excellent job on our driveway. From pulling up the old driveway to installing the new one, they were top notch. And, when we contacted them about a small issue, they were quick to come back and resolve it. I would hire them again!

"Refloor did an AMAZING job from start to finish. The design consultant (Blake), project coordinator (Retina), installation coordinator (Carley), the installer (Marcelo)- and his helper (Jay), were all very professional and excellent at their jobs. Iâ d also like to give the installer, Marcelo, a BIG shoutoutâ ¦ he could not have been any nicer, considerate, or efficient. He did an EXCELLENT job at installing our floors and included us with all decision making that popped up along the way. You can tell that he takes pride in his work and that he really wants the customers to be happy with it too. And we are HAPPY! The floors look AMAZING. We are impressed and glad that we chose Refloor. We HIGHLY recommend them. Thanks Refloor!"
