Planning and executing a home improvement project can be a stressful experience, but we are here to help you navigate the process and produce an end result that exceeds your expectations. One way of combating the stress associated with your project is to be knowledgeable about the products and procedures that we will be using on your job. Personally, I am uncomfortable when it comes to automotive maintenance and repair because I don't really know much about cars. I don't need to know as much as my mechanic does (after all, he's the pro), but it's nice not to be completely in the dark about what is being done to my vehicle. And so it is with your project. The world of flooring is a bewildering array of products. From adhesives and mortars to underlayments and vapor barriers, it can be overwhelming to determine which product will be suit your needs. This page is intended to answer some frequently asked questions and guide you to resources that will give you a better understanding of how your flooring system works, what to look for when shopping for a new floor, and how to maintain your floors after installation.
