What type of flooring is best?
Each type of flooring has pros and cons:
Hardwood flooring costs more than other materials but is best for increasing home value.
Laminate and vinyl are easy to install and maintain but don't last as long as hardwood.
Tile flooring is best for bathrooms and kitchens because it's water resistant and long-lasting.
Carpet is comfortable and affordable but harder to keep clean.

Who installs flooring?

Great service, on time, highly recommended
Jack of all Trades Inc.
Brian B.
We got them to come out and give us an estimate on replacement of our old aluminum single pane drafty windows, Joel was very knowledgeable about the new technology on windows available in the current market. We selected a window company we heard alot about with almost every company that quoted us. We felt more Joel was the person we where more comfortable and could rely on to get us what we where looking for. Once custom made windows came in, we scheduled a day to start installation. Took 3 days to complete, we are completely satisfied with there work, they came out daily and prep are where windows where being removed, covered my floors with drop clothes and furnishings with plastic, cleaned up promptly, and did a wonderful job on the install. We will definitely call them again for any of our future home improvement needs.
