Can any bathroom be a wet room?

• <div><p>Most bathrooms can be turned into a wet room, so long as the flooring can be sloped slightly for draining purposes and the room has proper plumbing. A skilled home renovation professional can evaluate your bathroom to determine if it’s a good candidate for converting into a wet room. If you only have one bathroom in your home, a wet room may not be the best idea for resale purposes since many homebuyers like having a bathtub. </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: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>

Q: Is thick carpet padding better?

• <div><p>No, thick carpet padding isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. </p><p>For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it&rsquo;s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do transition pieces go under the baseboard?

• <div><p>Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.</p></div>

I have reason to suspect his crew was smoking pot on our property and they destroyed our home. John was never there to supervise his crew. They took out all the insulation in our crawl space and let our pipes freeze so we had to replace all of the plumbing. He cut a floor joist where they were...

See above. I might add that we liked the flooring in the kitchen so much (Mannington Sobella) that we opted to have Floorcraft install the same floorcovering about a month later in our downstairs bathroom, which they did for about $650. Same comments apply. This is our go-to company for...
