Q: What is the best material for carpet?

• <div><p>It depends on what&rsquo;s important to you. For instance, if you&rsquo;re looking for the lowest-priced carpet material, consider polyester. Alternatively, you could go with olefin (also known as polypropylene), another synthetic carpet material that costs about the same as polyester. Otherwise, if durability is the priority, nylon or wool would be a better choice. </p><p>Not sure what you need? A <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/carpet-installation/">local carpet installer</a> can explain the difference between various carpet types and help you decide what&rsquo;s best for your home.</p></div>

Q: Which hardwood floors last longest?

• <div><p>While many hardwood floors can last decades with proper maintenance, choosing a harder wood type, like hickory, can help extend the life span of your hardwood floors and reduce the amount of maintenance needed to keep them looking new and shiny. Softer hardwoods, like walnut, may not last quite as long as other types.</p></div>

Q: How long should a Berber carpet last?

• <div><p>You may be wondering, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">how long does carpet last</a>? It depends on the type. For your Berber carpet, it should last <b>10 to 15 years</b> with regular cleaning and maintenance. For the longest lifespan possible, you should call in a carpet cleaner for a deep cleaning at least once a year. </p><p>Also, you can opt for higher-quality Berber carpet and underlayment which will last longer. And if you have pets, make sure to house-train them and use extra rugs in areas you expect high foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: What flooring isn’t good for underfloor heating?

• <div><p>You can use underfloor heating with most kinds of flooring. However, particularly thick carpet will create problems, since it will absorb a lot of the heat and make it difficult to feel. Also, there are some concerns that underfloor heating can dry out natural wood over time, so if you have wood flooring, get an expert opinion on whether radiant heating is appropriate. </p></div>

The service went quicker than expected, finishing the work a day earlier than planned. I was kept updated and shown progress throughout the process. The floors are beautiful now. The mess left from the sanding was far less than I expected.

I am okay with them. They did all the work putting the lines on the ceilings and floorings. They did some circle lights around the house that when it turns dark, the light comes on and when the sun comes out they go out. They were thorough with their work.
