Frequently asked questions

• What kind of flooring should I use if I have pets?

  It would be wise to consider vinyl, tile, or carpeting screened for stain resistance, since hardwood floor can damage easily. Laminate and LVT are also a safe option.

• Can I install new flooring over my existing flooring?

  You can install certain types of flooring (vinyl, laminate, hardwood, carpet, etc.) over existing flooring, if the surface is firm, hard and flat. You cannot install anything over a layer of any kind of floating floor.

• How do I measure floors for carpet?

  To measure how much carpet you need, you have to know the width and length of the room. If your space is not a simple rectangle you will need to measure the length of every wall and break the room into small rectangle shaped sections to make it easier to calculate your square footage. There is going to be a waste of the materials so to account for this waste you must order at least 10% more square footage of carpet than the actual size of your room.

• How do I keep my carpet clean?

  Some tips on how to keep your carpet looking new for as long as possible are: add protection to your carpet, switch furniture around to prevent permanent indentations, remove shoes while walking on the carpet, vacuum regularly, deep clean the carpet regularly.
