Do you offer professional tile installation for showers and backsplashes?
Yes, we install tile in showers, backsplashes, floors, and other areas. Our team handles surface prep, waterproofing, layout, and grouting to ensure proper adhesion and water resistance. We work with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and mosaic tile materials.
What paint brands do you carry?
We stock multiple professional-grade paint lines suited to different project needs and budgets. Brand selection affects coverage, durability, and finish quality - higher-end paints typically require fewer coats and resist fading longer. Visit our Oneida showroom to compare samples and sheens.
Can I see flooring samples in your Oneida showroom?
Yes, our Oneida location displays samples of hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet flooring. Seeing samples in person helps you evaluate color, texture, and thickness that don't translate well in photos. Bring paint chips or cabinet samples to test color coordination.
Do you install tile floors as well as sell them?
Yes, our Oneida location displays samples of hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet flooring. Seeing samples in person helps you evaluate color, texture, and thickness that don't translate well in photos. Bring paint chips or cabinet samples to test color coordination.
How do I choose between hardwood and laminate flooring?
Hardwood can be refinished multiple times and lasts decades, but costs more upfront and scratches more easily. Laminate resists moisture better, costs less, and handles heavy traffic well, but can't be refinished when worn. Consider room moisture levels and whether you'll want to change color later.
What's the difference between interior and exterior paint?
Exterior paint contains UV blockers, mildew resistance, and flexible resins that expand with temperature changes. Interior paint focuses on washability, low VOCs, and smoother finishes since it doesn't face weather exposure. Using interior paint outside leads to rapid fading and peeling.
Should I paint walls before or after installing new flooring?
Paint first, then install flooring. This prevents paint drips or roller splatter on new floors and eliminates the need for excessive masking. Baseboards go on after flooring installation, so wall paint doesn't need to be perfect at floor level.
What preparation is needed before installing vinyl flooring?
The subfloor must be clean, dry, and level within 3/16 inch over 10 feet. High spots get sanded, low spots require leveling compound, and any moisture issues need resolution first. Vinyl telegraphs every subfloor imperfection, so proper prep prevents visible waves and premature wear.
How does paint sheen affect durability and appearance?
Higher sheen paints (semi-gloss, gloss) resist stains and clean easier but highlight wall imperfections. Flat and matte finishes hide surface flaws but show scuffs more readily. Satin and eggshell offer middle-ground durability, making them popular for high-traffic areas.
What factors affect flooring installation cost?
Material choice, room shape, subfloor condition, and removal of existing flooring all impact pricing. Complex layouts with angles or transitions require more cutting and labor. Subfloor repairs, moisture barriers, and moving furniture add to total project cost beyond material price.
