Jerry's Dust free flooring is the best hardwood flooring refinishing company on Angie We provide dust free guaranteed refinishing process Jerry Dust Free Flooring is family owned and operated company with great reputation craftsmanship and flooring specialist in the trade We have over 20 years of experience at dust free hardwood floors refinishing
"Yes, truly is dust free but the experience of working with them is even better than how clean they are. Everything working with Jerry went exactly as one should be able to expect from this class of professional service provider. However, he was the only one out of several top Angie's List rated companies that not only showed up on time to provide a quote but explained how he would handle the job from start to finish. The other guys really didn't want to tear out and haul away the carpet or even provide a selection of trim and flooring from which to choose. They gave a list of several stores to order the materials from with the amount of materials required. They also were going to cap the stairs instead of removing the treads if they found they weren't already oak underneath. However Jerry's quote was almost the same price but he would handle everything. Ultimately it turned out to be cheaper as once the carpet was removed it was discovered the stairs were oak and in good enough condition to easily refinish. Everything went swimmingly and our floors are absolutely stunning. High points: - I didn't have to lift a finger. (one would think that's normal since I'm the customer and not the flooring company, but apparently the other companies felt that wasn't the case.) - Arrived on time to provide quote. Quote itemized with exact cost. Explained that only if the subfloor turned out to be problematic could the cost change and we would be made aware. - Provided complete catalog to select everything from. Helped with selection by showing examples of designs and sizes in similar layouts. - Arrived on the start date when he said they would and finished the day he said they would too. - Clean, clean, clean. Exceptionally clean - Floors are absolutely gorgeous and meticulously installed. - Custom banister and newell work looks beautiful and rock solid. - Honest, called to let me know I saved money when he pulled the carpet up on the stairs to discover they were in good shape. The quote had included replacement. - Hauled all the carpet and trash away. Would absolutely use again and plan to for the remaining rooms."

Yes, vinyl flooring is a cost-effective option that can enhance the appearance of your home. While it may not be as durable as hardwood, lasting around 10 years, it offers an affordable way to achieve an attractive look. If you plan to live in your home for decades, you might consider hardwood floors, but for a budget-friendly, stylish solution, vinyl is a great choice.
Installing vinyl flooring can increase your home's appeal to potential buyers. It mimics the aesthetics of hardwood flooring, which can attract buyers and potentially help your home sell faster.
Laminate flooring is less expensive and meets budget-friendly requirements, whereas vinyl flooring presents a waterproof core that ensures outstanding durability in moisture-prone areas. Vinyl flooring delivers superior performance and design versatility, making it a robust option compared to laminate. Cost figures show laminate priced at $1 to $5 per square foot and vinyl at $3 to $7 per square foot. This clear cost and performance contrast helps homeowners decide which flooring type best meets their functional and aesthetic needs.
No extra underlay is required when installing vinyl flooring because the flooring includes a built-in cushioned backing that guarantees comfort and stability. In situations where the subfloor exhibits unevenness, adding a thin layer of underlay can enhance the final appearance and performance. Professional vinyl floor installers follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure optimal installation conditions, which secures durability and preserves the quality of the finished floor.
