How do I remove cheap, laminate, wood flooring from my foyer and hall way? It is glued down rather randomly throughout the space and is extremely difficult to tear out. Is their a product that will remove the glue and make this job a bit easier? The flooring is about a 13/8 inch thick, if that helps.

I am looking for floating floors for my basement. What is recommended for a basement?

We have pre-finished floors and they told us that the floors would never need to be (and couldn’t be) sanded and refinished. The floors are only about 6 months old but we have a few spots where things have been dropped and small nicks and chinks and scratches have been left. How can we fix these areas without damaging the rest of the floor or without making the damaged area worse?

I have a question. Should I remove a indoor/outdoor carpet in my basement rumpus room to install a laminated floor? The old carpet is glued to concrete and I think will be not ease to remove it. The thickness of it is around 1/4″. Can I use it as subflooring instead?

My son is in a power wheelchair. To get to his room he needs to cross the den and I would like to replace it with wood. I’m understanding that the laminating would be easier to keep from getting damaged. Please let me know if a laminated one would work better than a hardwood one. It will get a lot of wear and tear.

I installed a floating laminate floor, but my calculations were a little off. I now have a 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inch gap after putting in my last row. Is there trim that can go around that? Currently, the room has a 2 inch baseboard around the house.

I am installing a bamboo floor that is 5/8″ thick. I cannot find any place near me that rents an air powered flooring nailer (or shims to adjust a 3/8″ or 3/4″ ) to accommodate 5/8″ thick flooring. How should I install it? Pre-drill and use a hammer and nail set? Other options please?

What glue would I use to glue down an engineered hardwood over my concrete on grade floor that is radiant heated?

…If this happens to be an engineered wood floor, is there any problem with sanding and refinishing it? My understanding is that you can, but this type of floor can’t take this process as often as a solid wood floor. Is that true?

We just installed some ****snap together laminate flooring. There are a couple pieces we’ve noticed that have a chip or bubble in the finish. Is it possible to remove and replace a single strip and if so how?

My mother is in a wheelchair. What would be the best flooring for them to use in their home?

I had my tub refinished. Epoxy got all over my tile in the bathroom and on my laminate wood floor. How do I clean this mess up?

Is hardwood too slick for a large dog with bad hips?

I have just had my room fully plastered & the laminate flooring was not fully covered when they did it. I have scrapped the dry plaster of with an old credit card so not to scratch the laminate, but the white marks are coming back every time the floor dries. What can I do to get rid of these plaster marks?

We want to replace our carpeted floors with hardwood floors. We have two large dogs and two cats. Which type of flooring would be best with this many pets? Thanks in advance for your help! We want to make sure that whatever floor we choose (hardwood, engineered, laminate) will withstand many pet feet and the occasional pet stain without becoming too scratched, dingy or stained.

I have some uneven gaps around the perimeter of my laminate flooring which I am installing myself. In some places, they are as big as 10 mm. Can I cover them with Quarter rounds?
Also, about the underlayment, should the underlayment run under the baseboards or should it be just under the laminates? Is it OK if some area along the perimeter (say about 5 mm) does not have an underlayment?

We are building a new house. I love the look of hardwood and would love to have it in the kitchen. The problem is we have three children and I’m afraid it won’t hold up in the kitchen area. I’m also concerned about water damage. At this point I have requested ceramic tile in the kitchen but really want hardwood. The hang ups I have are durability and water damage???….. Help! What’s your opinion?

My husband and I are considering laying parquet flooring in our living room and removing the carpet b/c our dog cannot seem to stop staining the carpet. We feel hardwood would be better but after reading your website I see that pet stains are a problem with hardwood. Is there a way that we can protect the wood after it is laid to prevent the urine from soaking into the wood in case we do not find it quickly?
