"Excellent. The installers did a great job floors are beautiful, they cleaned up after themselves, were polite but friendly, and worked very hard completing the job in two days. They moved the furniture for us and had our king bed reassembled so we never missed a night,s sleep. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Chris and his team were incredible! Chris was so communicative, organized, and efficient. They refinished the original maple floors in our 1910 colonial that had so much wear and tear from decades of foot traffic and now they look like new again! I would highly recommend Chris Arruda Wood Flooring and will definitely be reaching back out for future hardwood floor work."

"Working with Scott, Dani, and the Tamas team was a great experience from start to finish. We have a cork floor which many companies did not want to deal with, but Scott said they could do it, and did a beautiful job. It came out exactly as Scott said it would, actually looks better than when it was installed 12 years ago. And they did a very good clean up. We look forward to working with them again on our hardwood floors!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.

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.

No subflooring is perfectly level, but you should never ignore any noticeable floor sagging. Most contractors deem a floor that slopes by a 1/2 inch to 1 inch per 20 feet of floor acceptable. Further investigation is required when the slope or sag is more than one and a half inches.

Carpet density refers to how closely together the fibers of a carpet are stitched into the carpet backing, with values ranging from 1,000 to 7,000. A carpet density value of 3,000 or higher is considered best for most homes, especially in high-traffic areas, such as a living room or dining room. If you’re comparing two carpets made of the same material, a higher carpet density can indicate better durability and longevity. However, carpet density is only one of many factors that can help you determine a carpet’s quality.

When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.
