"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!"
"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 loved the job they did. They had to undo Louis brothers destroyed my floors and they had redo a botched job. I would definitely recommend Right Step flooring. Looking forward for them to my next job"
"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 crew were all very professional and did an amazing job. Our addition had been started by another contractor several years ago but never completed. Trent made sure everything was properly done and if it wasn't his crews fixed what needed to be fixed until it was done right. After correcting the things that needed fixing they laid all the flooring, tiled the shower, finished the plumbing, HVAC, and wiring, put in the fixtures, painted, built a deck and enlarged our driveway , put in new gutters and gutter guards and some other stuff. The work is too notch and we wholeheartedly recommend them. Their customer service was also great. We have already hired them to do some painting, carpeting and repair work in the main house part of it to start in the fall and the rest early next year per our time frame on when we want the work done. Definitely a great company to work with and highly recommend."
"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."
"They did a great job. They showed up when they said they would and they completed the work as they said they would. They were fast and efficient. We will be re-hiring them for additional yard work."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.
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.
One of the upsides of cork flooring is that it's mold-resistant, so you don't have to worry about mildew or mold growth on wet cork. However, you should always clean up any moisture as soon as possible and use as little water as you need when cleaning. This will help you avoid issues like buckling or swelling in your cork flooring, which often requires replacement, and prevent moisture from seeping into your subfloor, which can cause the dreaded mold or mildew problems.
Most experts agree that the best thing with which to clean epoxy floors is a diluted mixture of ammonia and warm water. You can also use mild dish soap diluted with warm water or a degreaser (such as Simple Green or Goof Off) diluted with warm water. Some soap-based cleaners can leave a haze. If you notice this, further dilute the mixture with water or use a different detergent that does not leave a film. You should never use harsh cleaning chemicals, any type of acidic compound (such as vinegar or citrus-based cleansers), or harsh scrubbers like steel wool or hard bristle brushes.
While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For optimal floor insulation and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.
