    Yes, we can address squeaky floors during the installation process. Our flooring installers in Appleton, Green Bay, Door County, Oshkosh & all surrounding cities can minimize or potentially eliminate squeaks by securing the subfloor with screws. The flooring replacement process is an ideal time to resolve this issue.
  • What wood floor can I install over a concrete slab?

    For concrete slabs, we recommend engineered hardwood over solid hardwood. Engineered hardwood is less susceptible to swelling and contracting due to moisture, making it more suitable for installation over concrete. As professional flooring installers in Appleton, Green Bay, Door County, Oshkosh & all surrounding cities, we advise against solid hardwood in this situation due to potential moisture-related issues.
  • Can I install new flooring over old flooring?

    The possibility of installing new flooring over existing flooring depends on several factors. Laminate and vinyl flooring can often be installed directly over existing floors, and solid hardwood can be glued to concrete. As experienced flooring installers in Appleton, Green Bay, Door County, Oshkosh & all surrounding cities, we consider the age and condition of your existing flooring to determine if it's suitable as a base for new flooring.
  • Do I have to acclimate my luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors before installation?

  • Can I install your floors over radiant heat?

    Most of our flooring products are compatible with radiant heat systems. However, specific requirements vary by product. We recommend checking the 'Specifications' section on each product's detail page on our website, specifically the 'RADIANT HEAT SAFE' row. Our flooring installers in Appleton, Green Bay, Door County, Oshkosh & all surrounding cities can provide further guidance on this matter.
  • When should I get my new carpet professionally cleaned?

    Professional carpet cleaning is typically recommended every 12-18 months, in line with most warranty requirements. As carpet installers in Appleton, Green Bay, Door County, Oshkosh & all surrounding cities, we advise adhering to these guidelines to maintain your carpet's condition. Given that annual carpet sales in the United States total approximately $12 billion, according to Onedesk, proper maintenance is crucial to extend the life of your investment and avoid frequent replacements.
