NEED A FLOOR INSTALLER.

[Knife Lady]

Can anyone recommend a good vinyl flooring installer? I am in need of one. Would like to support local small business.

In for interest as we may be needing someone as well in the near future.

Scott Kinsey Home improvement specialist. Scott is a straight up guy, family man, small business owner, big time hunter and great at home improvement stuff. When I had a photo studio business in Carmel, Indiana Scott built out the entire studio from ceiling to floor. He hung 2400 sq ft of drywall including the ceiling and put down the floors. Can't say enough good stuff about him. He does the work personally and his wife handles the front office. Truly a small business worthy of your support. His prices are fair and the work is done great. Because of this he stays pretty busy. You can call him at (317) 853-600. Tell him Mondo sent you!

Mondo what is the last number to call him? It is a number short.

Might have to break down and have someone do mine, but I'm fighting it.

It's easy. Buy a roll of paper (it's 36 inches wide) and use it to make a template of your floor. Use painter's tape to tape the paper together. Take your template and lay it over your vinyl sheet. Cut your pattern. Take it in and glue half at a time. Rent a floor roller.

Sorry about that, I was at the range. Thanks RobbyMaq for the follow up!

I'm doing the engineered lumber, though. I've done the vinyl in a couple of bathrooms. That didn't involve lots-o-measuring, and being a slightly autistic engineer, I take it down to interference fit. What I'm fighting is giving up and letting someone else do it

I have a kitchen and a dining area 27x11 that needs to be done with pulling up 2 different existing flooring. I also have 2 small bathrooms that need to be done. I need to get this all done before the cool weather moves in because of my lungs. I also want the flooring to be USA made due to my lungs. Don't know what kind of crap is in the flooring from China or anywhere else. Thanks for all the input.

vinyl:

It's the year 2015, people. Vinyl flooring doesn't automatically mean "linoleum" type sheet products.

Those of you considering new flooring: I highly suggest that you look into "luxury vinyl tiles", or LVT. Seriously. Do it. You'll be amazed at the magnitude of choices.

For our home, we went with Congoleum brand DuraCeramic. Congoleum Products Lays down like tiles + grouted. They have non-grout edges, too, if you don't want that look.

Plenty of companies offer "green" synthetic floorings, too. Don't want formaldehyde in your flooring? Good, it's rarely used any more.

 

[Knife Lady]

Yes I am looking into the luxury vinyl flooring but I think it will LV planks at least for the kitchen. The bathrooms I may go with the tiles without grout.

Has anyone heard of the vinyl flooring having an odor? Supposed to be like walking into a tire store and smelling the rubber. I am particularly interested in the vinyl planks?

The ones we had installed didn't stink like a tire shop, no.

New manufacturing techniques and "green" technologies you should be OK.

In all honesty, visit a flooring shop and inquire if they happen to have a newly shipped box in storage that they can poke a hole in and you can take a whiff of it.

Thanks when I get to feeling better ( soon I hope) I will get out and check out some stores.
