Q: How do you start the first row of vinyl planks?

• <div><p>Start the first row of vinyl planks along the longest or most visible wall in the room. This will create a clean, straight foundation row to build off of. Snap a chalk line to guide the first row, and use spacers for the most precise installation&mdash;these maintain an even extension gap between the flooring planks and the wall. Finally, double-check that the first row is level before moving on to the second row. If it&rsquo;s not, start over and get it right before completing the rest of the floor.</p></div>

Q: Can you put flooring directly on concrete?

• <div><p>Because concrete is porous, installing flooring directly onto the surface is not a good idea. Any moisture within the concrete due to atmospheric conditions or seasonal humidity can seep into your flooring, causing warping or damage. In most cases, you&rsquo;ll need to install at least a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring you choose.</p></div>

Q: How do you stack laminate flooring to acclimate?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring should be stacked horizontally and laid flat to avoid any warping or stress to the boards. To stack it, you should do so in a grid with each row of flooring packages positioned at a 90-degree angle to the layer beneath it. This will provide the best support so the flooring will not sag in the middle.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install carpet over tile?

• <div><p>On average, installing carpet costs between $3 and $11 per square foot, depending on factors like the carpet material, style, and labor rates in your area. Sometimes, installers will include carpet removal in these costs, so if you don&rsquo;t have any carpet to remove, you can save time and spend less money on labor.</p></div>

Q: How do you protect hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Furniture pads and rugs are simple ways to protect your floors as they prevent furniture from scratching them, reducing wear and tear. The same goes for trimming your pet&rsquo;s nails since they can scratch the floors as well. You can also apply a protective finish every few years to maintain the floor&rsquo;s appearance. </p></div>
