Q: How often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see. Stripping and waxing floors can help <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-hardwood-floor-damage.htm">repair hardwood floor damage</a> and give the room a fresh look.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to change from carpet to hardwood floors?

• <div><p>The average cost to install hardwood flooring is <b>$4,700</b>. While this is more than double the average cost of installing a new carpet and removing your old one, it has some significant advantages. Hardwood flooring might not be as cozy or soundproofing as carpets, but it's lower maintenance and way more durable. With the right care, hardwood floors can last a lifetime, whereas the average lifespan of a carpet is 10 years.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix bubbling carpet?

• <div><p>The correct method to fix bubbling carpet depends on the cause. If the bubbles are caused by moisture, drying out the carpet can help flatten it. Otherwise, a pro might need to restretch or reinstall the carpet to fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: What type of carpet is the most expensive?

• <div><p>Berber is the most expensive type of carpet, followed by textured carpet. Berber costs $3 to $20 per square foot, and textured carpet ranges from $1 to $12 per square foot.

They did a very good job of remediation as far as I can tell, but David wasn't quite truthful about two things he told me. They also put my stuff back in the basement onto the floor while it was still wet from remediating. That didn't sit right with me.
