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’s nails since they can scratch the floors as well. You can also apply a protective finish every few years to maintain the floor’s appearance. </p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</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: Will installing carpet over carpet affect the warranty of the new carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.</p></div>

Q: Do you install flooring before cabinets?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">type of flooring</a> you plan to install will determine if it goes in before or after the cabinets. It's okay to swap the order in many cases. However, hardwood floors, sheet materials, and tile often go down before the cabinets go in. Floating floors like laminate or luxury vinyl planking should go down after the cabinets are in place.</p></div>
