"It was a pleasure working with the owners and staff at Young Brothers. They were efficient and professional but we never felt rushed to make a decision. In addition to the carpeting and hard wood we purchased at their store, they also helped us coordinate with the Tile Shop and took care of those materials as well. I can’t say enough about the quality of their products and the excellent contractors they used to install the flooring. The crews were always on time and often went over and above to make sure things were installed properly. Bud and Greg kept in contact throughout the process making suggestions and answering questions. I highly recommend Young Brothers."
"Tony did an outstanding job on two home flooring projects.He installed our basement floor a few yrs back recently our kitchen- foyer flooring. His attention to detail on every cut that he makes for your new floor will make a lasting impression. Tony is a top notch installer and always puts the customer needs first!"
"Couldn’t be happier with Leghart Brothers. Straight-forward and competitive pricing, crew was respectful and accommodating, they moved furniture that was too heavy for me, the work went fast and very smoothly. They cleaned up after themselves and addressed all my questions and concerns. The floors are beautiful and I’m getting many compliments. Highly recommend."
"It was good, but I expected a better result. I thought 50.00 was a high to just pull carpet of my stairs, it only took 1/2 hour. I was expecting all the rubber to be grinded of the basement floor. They forgot to get the grinder, so scraping by hand was not as good as I expected. No senior discount."
"Both sales and installation teams were extremely helpful and professional. This is the second job that Riverview Flooring has done for us and they will be the first/only people we call for the next job!"
"SandFree refinished my dining room floor using their sand-free method. The results are great, the floor looks amazing! I found SandFree to be professional, pleasant and a good value. I would recommend them to anyone else looking for this service."
"Love my garage floors. The before and after picture of my garage is like night and day. Luke was professional and transparent throughout the process. The finished floors surpassed my expectations."
"I can't say enough about the wonderful job Doran Hard Surfaces did for us, and I can't wait to have them back again to finish our steps and upstairs hallway and then our second floor bedrooms. Greg from Doran did all of the work on his own in a single day. He was prompt, efficient, hard-working and dedicated. He was also professional, courteous, friendly and very helpful in describing caring for the hard wood floors. I can't rate them highly enough!"
"Refloor did a great job on my basement and laundry room floors. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and made picking a color easy. My old floors were scratched up because of my dogs but my new floor is definitely more durable. I definitely recommend Refloor to anyone that wants new flooring in their home, you won't be disappointed!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.
It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.
In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.
While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.
No, termites don’t eat bamboo flooring like they do hardwood flooring. That’s because bamboo is a hardy grass that is naturally resistant to many pests, including termites. If you’re concerned about termites or other pests that could damage your floors, you can achieve a look similar to hardwood without the stress of pests by installing bamboo flooring.
