"Footprint floors did a great job refinishing and repairing our hardwood floors. they look excellent. The team was very communicative and they got the job done well!"
"Footprints Floors did an excellent job on my flooring project. Footprints installed engineered hardwood flooring for me. Before doing so, Footprints had to remove some old carpet, vinyl, and wood flooring. Footprints did an amazing job removing the old flooring and preparing the subfloor for the new wood. This was a critical step because a flawed subfloor can wreck a flooring installation. I was impressed by the speed and attention to detail the installers showed. Scott told me my flooring replacement project would take a day and the installers delivered. Speaking of Scott, I have rarely worked with a company owner who is more responsive. When Scott looked at my job, he gave me some excellent advice on product selection. Overall, this flooring project was a great experience."
"We couldn’t be happier with the work Frank and his team at Frank Flooring did for our home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Frank showed up on time, and delivered exactly what he promised—beautifully refinished hardwood floors. Even months later, our floors still look incredible. The finish has held up beautifully to daily life, and it’s clear that the workmanship and materials used were top quality. Frank and his crew treated our home with care and respect, making sure everything was clean and tidy once the job was done. Hiring Frank was one of the best home improvement decisions we’ve made. The refinished floors completely transformed the space and added so much warmth and value to our home. It was 100% worth the investment, and I would confidently recommend Frank Flooring to anyone looking to breathe new life into their hardwood floors. Trust me—your floors (and your future self) will thank you!"
"I highly recommend Right Step Flooring, LLC. they repaired and refinished the hardwood floors in my home from the front door to the sliding glass door at the rear of the house. Everything was done on schedule and to perfection."
"Promised us that they would not damage new paint when installing carpet in two rooms and would be very careful when we questioned their time frame for installation. Contractor recommended waiting for paint to cure. Not only did we have to pay contractor $100 to fix damaged walls, chair rail and floor molding paint, but they bothered the painters so much to help move furniture that the painters complained to us for time lost painting while assisting Jeff and Nathan. Decent price and nice guys but problematic."

"Trent and his team did an amazing job! We hired TM & KM Construction to knockdown a load bearing wall, remove a vestibule, replace the front door, and install new hardwood flooring in the living room, dining room, and hallway. The entire project took about three weeks and created a lot of dust and debris. However, they cleaned up the work site on a daily basis and left everything impeccably clean when they were done. During the work, they kept me informed on everything going on and were methodical and detailed focused. I was impressed by how they took the extra time to make sure everything was perfect. We had a lot of wood and trim work and they took the extra time to make complex cuts to make sure pieces fit together perfectly (versus jamming things together and covering it with caulk). Overall, I highly recommend Trent and his team."
"Love my floors but the customer service does not exist with this company....I had too make numerous phone calls to this company without a return call or any empathy whatsoever for the issues I experienced....Once they have your $$ which is as soon as the contractor walks in the door before they do anything I had too chase them down too get my job complete."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
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’ll need to install at least a moisture barrier between the concrete and the flooring you choose.
DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.
Berber is the most expensive type of carpet, followed by textured carpet. Berber costs $3 to $20 per square foot, and textured carpet ranges from $1 to $12 per square foot. Berber features fibers arranged in short, thick loops, making it extraordinarily durable. The most expensive carpet material is wool, followed by acrylic, Triexta, and cotton. Wool costs $4 to $20 per square foot and is a beautiful, luxurious, and durable material. Acrylic, Triexta, and cotton range from $2 to $8 per square foot.
Berber is a loop pile carpet known for its strength, durability, and distinct looped look. It can be made from a number of different carpet materials, including nylon and wool. However, Berber isn’t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn’t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it’s a good style of carpet for living rooms).
With that said, if you really like the look of Berber, you can still install it in your bedroom—it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.
New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it’s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear.
