How long does it take for laminate flooring to settle?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48 hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.</p><p>Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about uneven floors?

• <div><p>Uneven floors often signal structural issues in a home, so taking them seriously is vital. If you buy an older home with slightly uneven floors, check that your inspector thoroughly inspects the foundation to catch any potential issues early. And if you notice that your floors are becoming more uneven over time, call a pro to check your foundation ASAP.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best floor for a walk-in shower?

• <div><p>Tile&mdash;specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles&mdash;is the best type of flooring for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-walk-in-shower-base.htm">building a walk-in shower base</a>. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.</p></div>

Q: Is carpet glue permanent?

• <div><p>Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is<b> five to 15 years</b>. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</p></div>

Q: Do stair runners make stairs safer?

• <div><p>A stair runner is a length of carpet installed in the center of the staircase, either on top of or in between hard materials installed on the staircase. The carpet doesn&rsquo;t cover the entire length of the steps, making stair runners an aesthetic choice. Thankfully, if you want hard materials on your stairs to show through, a stair runner will make it safer, as the primary area you walk on will be less slippery thanks to the carpet. </p></div>

After finding out that our home warranty company could not find anyone to install our new range we were given the name of Handy Sales and Service. After contacting them they agreed to come and install the range. They were very professional, courteous and had it done in no time.

"Signed a contract back on April 2, 2025. They were supposed to be out on Wednesday, May 21. They called me two hours before they were supposed to be here to cancel because of the chance of rain. We had zero rain here from 7:45 AM all the way to 3:30 PM. I wasted a vacation day as well. Contacted my salesman. He tells me he will get back to me. Here we are two days later and still no idea when the appointment is supposed to happen. Communication is poor at best. Amazing that a company that's been in business this long plays games like this."
