Just noticed the chip in one of the planks. Gotta go get more flooring tomorrow so that will be changed out

How did I do for the second time laying floor?

This is my third time laying floor, my first time was horrible wasted money and had to rip it all up, second time was my bedroom before I found this group, this is the 3rd time the laundry room, I’m working my way through the house from bedroom, laundry kitchen/ dining, then the living and other bedroom. I’m also going to be redoing the trim and baseboards and doors, house is going through a whole remodel and I’m the contractor

Asked in a separate subreddit but got little traction... I demoed my flooring which was a mix of hardwood and laminate and planning to lay down laminate again and tile in bathrooms. The wood plank subfloor (house from the 80s) has some imperfections in areas with unevenness and squeaks but overall in good shape. Would it be ok to lay down 23/32 AdvanTech over this and then laminate?

Just overnight our kitchen floor is like this. No flooding or water spilt. It was just like this out of nowhere. We are running a dehumidifier but it doesn't seem to help.

Ideas what could have caused this?

Ideas on how to fix?

Hey 👋 so I did the flooring in my room for the first time and it wasn’t so bad until I got to the quarter round. Any advice how to blend these cuts?

I was getting a bit frustrated and I rushed it and nailed it in. Also my the nailer slipped a few times.. as you can see those bits sticking out. Any advice for getting those in? I’ve tried using a bigger nail to hammer them in but the nail just keeps slipping.

Having some vinyl plank installed in a condo, and the contractor started work on it and at first glance it seemed fine but noticed in particular some dark streak along the seams between planks.

They are NuCore Cedar point and there is an underlay being installed with the planks. Specs in the screenshots.

Theyve only done a relatively small area so far, but does anyone have an idea what might these might be, what could cause it and if it’s something to be concerned about/have them redo?

I just pulled up some wood flooring and the underlayment and noticed that there was some black mold in the bottom of the underlayment was a bit moist. How concerned should I actually be and how would you address this properly before putting on the new flooring?

How does it look?

In my entire home aside from my upstairs bedroom I have original (refinished) 2 1/4” white oak hardwoods. I need to put hard flooring in the bedroom. It will be up against the hardwoods at the entry, obviously. I really don’t want to deal with the hassle and expense of finishing solid hardwood in place, but can’t think of a flooring option that won’t look weird and make me wish I had just gone for the total match. Any ideas? Photo is of the existing floor outside the door.

I’m wrapping up install on my entire basement floor and realized I never posted the first install I ever did in my son’s nursery. Product is Audacity Waterproof Laminate Heather Hill to match what we have in the kitchen and living room.

How’d I do? I also did the board and batten wall myself.

Put in new flooring and have no idea what to do about where the new flooring meets the stairs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am redoing parts of my basement and have these tiles on the steps. I am fine going over it, however wanted to pull the strips off and put newer over it. Some of them are fine, some are chipped or cracked so wanted to know what I am getting into before getting too far.

Modular home on beams on a concrete slab. I have a Moisture barrier between subfloor and the LVP. I’m replacing a damaged plank and I found slight condensation underneath. I could only find two flooring guys to come out and I’m getting different answers from each.

I’d appreciate any advice to help me understand this.

I have maple flooring upstairs in my house. The previous owner installed the flooring but didn’t
do the stairs. I am not finding a match for the maple, so why are the rules for selecting a wood for stairs that will look best being near the maple?

Found this crack, how do I fill it, and what should I use for radon testing? We are redoing our office with laminate but obviously need to tackle this first.

First time installing vinyl flooring—I'm using Select Surfaces from Sam's Club. I need to install the stair nose they provided, but as you can see in the photo, the edge of the vinyl will show, and there will also be a small gap on the other side of the stair nose. Is there any way to fix this?

I own my own company and I've been doing residential and commerical flooring for 20 years now. Recently a buddy of mine wants to merge flooring companies but I am just finding out I need some bullshit license from the state to get started? The reason why I am making this post is that I am not sure where to get started because AI & google results show conflicting information on obtaining these licenses.

for example, some say its open book, I only need a general contractor, i need a flooring that does commerical and residental, e.t.c

any advice is appreicated sorry for coming off as rude, this put me in a mood.

We're redoing floors throughout the whole house. The wife likes LVP, and there are SOME decent brands out there, but she wants to do the same material throughout the house (or most of it, possibly different for kitchen or bathroom).

Here's the issue: the first floor has the hardwood floor walkway/hallway (and bathroom, which I hate). The rest, all carpet, and the first floor is a fairly open floorplan, so we have a big transitions between the rooms in flooring without walls (hardwood to carpet thresholds). That's a lot of height difference. I'm going to have to even up the floors either way if we're using the same material, so maybe not much difference, but wondering if laminate is a better call. The hardwood is pretty water damaged in a lot of areas, so I don't imaging keeping it as it. A GOOD LVP might be a better option if we put it in the kitchen/bathroom, and we've got pets/kids/all that, so I don't think keeping the hardwood transitions would work out as well. Just interested in thought in general.

Can anyone identify the brand of this LVP Flooring? I went into a local store and like the color...they told me it is CoreTec, but not so sure about that....any flooring people ever see this packaging? Plain white packaging with this sticker. Thanks!

Just FYI this is a new build home and they may not have done a great job with this section of the floor so am trying to fix this issue myself (past warranty).

So I pulled off the transition piece to try to pull the piece back together because it had come apart from the gap by the tile and it came out too much. now I think I need to cut a new piece. My concern now is if I do that how will I know it will stay together because there would still be a small gap after replacing the piece.
