"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!"
"I had my hardwood floors refinished and the results are amazing—the floors look brand new. This was the only company willing to take on the job since others said it was too complicated. Their years of experience really showed, and they finished the work quickly without cutting corners. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you need hardwood floors refinished, I’d definitely recommend this team—they know what they’re doing. My go-to the next time I have a flooring project."
"When we got the quote from Sterling Smith, I’m sure it was quite reasonable it was just more than we were looking to spend. Their response was very quick and they were willing to come out right away. I don’t think that he completely understood what we were looking for in getting the initial impression of the cost. We had a very small area on the floor, maybe like 3 or 4 inches and he wanted to review our entire floors. It wasn’t what we were looking for."
"Hugo is easy to work with and he is punctual and dependable. He put in a sub floor and a new oak floor in my bedroom.. It was finished beautifully and I was impressed on how the wood floor met the marble floor of my bathroom. He also sanded and refinished the rest of my home with a water base finish.. He is trustworthy and his prices are very reasonable."
"Near Me Roofing Company has been a wonderful company to work with. I appreciated their great service and professionalism. Their pricing was competitive. I replaced an old roof with a standing seam roof.. Ari and crew was amazing. They came in and worked so hard in the heat to get the job done as quickly as possible. All awesome! Thank you All for a job well done!"
"I personally called Mohawk for obtaining the match of the flooring I wanted to extend throughout the house. I would expect the flooring company to do that."
"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."
Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Bumps, wrinkles, or detachment often require stretching for smoothness.
No, termites don’t eat bamboo flooring like they do hardwood flooring. That’s because bamboo is a hardy grass that is naturally resistant to many pests, including termites. If you’re concerned about termites or other pests that could damage your floors, you can achieve a look similar to hardwood without the stress of pests by installing bamboo flooring.
When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.
As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.
Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don’t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a local garage flooring pro with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.
As with timing, the cost to remove tile flooring varies depending on a number of factors, including size and type, adhesive type, condition of the tile and adhesive, and the method used to remove it. If you’re doing it yourself, you can expect the job to cost only the price of any tools, materials, or equipment that you don’t already have. If you’re hiring a professional, expect to pay between $2 and $7 per square foot for labor costs, along with added fees for materials.
