"We wanted new flooring installed before our move-in date while our condo was empty. We bought luxury vinyl plank flooring from Thornton Flooring in Sioux Falls. Raymond Shimel was to be our installer. Raymond immediately impressed us at our first meeting. He confidently told us exactly what the job of laying over 1,400 square feet would entail, saying he could have the installation done before our move-in date of 12/27/2022. He answered all of our questions in a friendly manner which put both of us at ease. Raymond and his helper not only took away the old carpet and flooring, but they installed the new flooring just like he said they would. They completed the work, cleaned up the whole condo, and had all equipment removed three days before our moving day. When I opened the door, what I saw was impressive. The entire floor of our condo was done with precision in every room and with the plank lined up and precisely squared. Thank you Raymond for your expert-class knowledge and a job well done! Folks, ask for Raymond Shimel to be your installer. You'll be glad you did. Matt and Cindy"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality. 

Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.

What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.

You might be wondering, “Is laminate flooring toxic?” The product does contain formaldehyde, which is found in the resins used to bind the wood fibers together. But the chance of overexposure and adverse reactions, such as allergy- or asthma-like symptoms, is low unless you are exposed to formaldehyde in other places, i.e., if you work with formaldehyde regularly outside the home. Keep in mind, too, that many household products have the potential to pose a health hazard, such as cleaning products.
