"Otto installed over 1500 square feet of Wisconsin Red Oak in our home. It was such a professional and incredible job. Additionally, Otto had to color match a section that connected to the previous wood floors, and he did this to perfection. Did a fantastic job, showed up on time and finished when they said they would. I have referred Otto to several clients and they have always thanked me profusely. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
"Excellent price and overall value for the money. My floors look brand new and the finished product far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Mike and Paul to anyone considering having your floors finished."
"Very pleased with the professional and friendly service received. Eric, the owner, was professional and easy to work with. I appreciated his help with narrowing the flooring choices to what product would be best for what I needed, ie, stand up to heavy traffic in the entryway as well as being waterproof for the baths and kitchen. He also promptly provided all the documentation required by my HOA for approval of what I wanted done. I kept changing my mind about which direction to lay the flooring, so when it was delivered, Eric helped lay out a box of the flooring so I could get a better idea of how it would look overall, very nice. Dan, the installer was also professional and did a great job. I particularly liked the job done cutting the bottom of the door frames to slip the flooring underneath. Looks like it was just meant to be that way. Since the name of his showroom is Floors and More, I asked if he did counter tops too. He worked with Andrew Shubin at Pro Granite to order the quartz for the kitchen and find remnants for the baths which helped keep the cost down. Very pleased all the way around. I plan to have him install carpet in the near future and possibly replace the tile around the fireplace."
"10/10 - Joe is a true old school professional. Joe has his own team, and is an expert in all things flooring. From initial contact, to picking the product, procurement, installation, and on through to finishing, the entire experience couldn't have been better."
"George and his crew did a fabulous job on our hardwood floors. When George came to give an estimate for the work, he was so thorough with his recommendations and suggestions. He needed no prompting about what needed to be done. He offered several options and because our base trim is fiberboard, I choose to paint the base trim myself after he was finished. BTW, frog tape is fabulous. An important factor to keep in mind is that his sanding machine used a 240 V connection which means his equipment is industrial grade and does an excellent job. His communication during the process was excellent, keeping us informed and inviting us back to check on things as he progressed - you cannot stay in the house if you do a Swedish finish, the fumes are overwhelming during the application and drying process. His follow-up and response was outstanding. He has a pleasant personality and we enjoyed working with him. I am happy to provide our unqualified recommendation for George and his company, European Custom Flooring."
"Vasilly explain in greater detail how his and his crew plan to install the hardwood flooring. Due to a back injury I suffer from Iraq, he and his crew move all the heavy items and furniture to begin the project. When he identified a possible concern, he immediately brought it to my attention and gave me his professional experience and options to rectify that issue. His professionalism N customer service was beyond my expectations. Vitaliy, Carpentry expertise was a work of art. The project took only two days which included the removal of carpet, padding, furniture moving and baseboards to install the flooring of a house thatâ s just under 2100 sq ft. The best money Iâ ve spent upgrading this house."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Dust mites feed on dead skin cells, which means your bed is a haven for them. They also like the warmth and humidity in your mattress because that is the climate required for them to survive. That’s why it’s vital to vacuum your mattress and regularly wash your linens to keep mites from living in your bed.
Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.
Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.
If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.
Common problems with laminate flooring include surface-level scratches, dents, warping, and separating seams. Scratches can be caused by dragging heavy items like furniture or from not using a mat under rolling office chairs. Dents can occur from regular wear and tear or from dropping heavy objects on the floor. Most of these issues can be prevented with regular cleaning and moisture control, and many are fairly easy to fix for a beginner DIYer.
