"My connection to Frank's Flooring was made thru Angi's List. He promptly called, made an appointment, showed up early, and provided us a quote with timelines and recommendations to refinish our hardwood floors. The floors showed significant damage from years of carpet and foam. He was able to amazingly bring them back to life. Once we selected him for the job, he started the next day and worked diligently every day until the job was completed. His detail to his profession was outstanding including his preparation and clean-up. We are very happy with the finished product."

"My husband and I recently purchased our first home, a charming 46-year-old Cape Cod, and our oak floors were in need of a little TLC. After getting quotes from a few different flooring companies, I knew Footprints was the company for the job. Scott was very knowledgeable and made me feel confident the job would be done well, correctly, completely, and in a timely fashion. We were fortunate they were able to complete the project before we had to officially move in. And now the previously neglected hardwood in our new home looks stunning and natural! They even replaced some boards where there was significant pet damage and it all blends so seamlessly and beautifully! Cannot recommend Scott, Jose, and the team enough! Thank you!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Vinyl plank flooring is widely considered to be the best flooring for mobile homes. It’s designed to look like other materials, such as hardwood or stone, for a lower cost. It’s durable, waterproof, and easy to install. Engineered hardwood and laminate flooring are also good options.

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.

Moso bamboo, Phyllostachys edulis, is the most commonly used species for bamboo flooring. Moso bamboo is native to China and Taiwan, and it was later introduced to Japan and then the United States. In addition to flooring, Moso bamboo is used in textile production, and the shoots are edible. Moso is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, which is why it’s an affordable and sustainable option compared to traditional hardwood.

Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
