Most Valuable Installers

Have a flooring installation-related question? We have the answer! Check out our FAQs below to learn more about our company and services.

  • Does Most Valuable Installers just install carpet, or do they carry carpet as well?

    Yes! As flooring installers in Appleton, WI, we not only install carpets, but also offer a wide variety of carpeting options for you to choose from! From there, we will then install the carpet of your choice.
  • Can I install my flooring myself?

    Many people would like to save money by installing their own flooring, but we strongly advise against it unless you have previous experience as a professional flooring installer. As flooring installers in Appleton, WI, we know that flooring requires special tools for proper installation, but you can also actually void your warranty by refusing a professional install. It's well worth the professional results and the peace of mind of knowing it was installed the right way.
  • Will I see seams in my carpet?

    Seams can sometimes be visible depending on the type and layout of the carpet. Our team of flooring installers in Appleton, WI is experienced with seaming different carpet styles and can address any issues if they arise. If this occurs, contact our team to fix it!
  • My floors are squeaky. Can you fix this issue when you install my new floor?

    Absolutely! Our flooring installers in Appleton, WI, can minimize and sometimes eliminate squeaks by screwing down the subfloor. The perfect time to take care of this issue is during the flooring replacement process.
  • What wood floor can I install over a concrete slab?

    Our professional flooring installers in Appleton, WI wouldn't recommend putting solid hardwood over a concrete slab because of the swelling and contracting caused by excessive moisture. Engineered hardwood is the best material to install over a concrete slab because it's much less likely to swell and contract.
  • Can I install new flooring over old flooring?

    It depends! Laminate and vinyl flooring can be installed directly over existing flooring, and solid hardwood can be glued directly onto concrete. Our knowledgeable flooring installers in Appleton, WI will consider factors like the age and condition of your existing flooring and whether it'll serve as a sturdy base for new flooring.
  • Do I have to acclimate my luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors before installation?

    No, our LVP floors with SPC Core do not require acclimation. Most SPCs do require acclimation, but some require at least 48 hours. They come ready to install via the click-lock floating method! Contact one of our flooring installers in Appleton, WI, from Most Valuable Installers today to assist you with LVP flooring installation.
  • How long does hardwood flooring need to acclimate?

    As reputable flooring installers in Appleton, WI, we would recommend allowing hardwood materials to acclimate for a minimum of three days. There isn't a maximum requirement!
  • Can I install your floors over radiant heat?

    Almost all of our floors can be installed over radiant heat. Different floors have different requirements, so we recommend checking each floor's "Specifications" section on its product detail page on our website. Find the row labeled "RADIANT HEAT SAFE." It'll tell you if it can be installed over radiant heat or not. One of our flooring installers in Appleton, WI, from Most Valuable Installers can help you with this process!
  • When should I get my new carpet professionally cleaned?

    Our carpet and flooring installers in Appleton, WI would recommend checking out warranty requirements. Most of the time, these requirements state that you should make sure to clean your carpet every 12-18 months. With the number of carpets sold each year totaling about $12 billion in the United States alone, according to Onedesk, it's important to keep your carpet in its best shape to avoid frequent replacements!
