"I cannot say enough great things about Chris and the A Step Ahead Flooring team! From start to finish, the communication was outstanding. Chris kept me updated every step of the way and made the entire process seamless. Not only did they finish the project a full day ahead of schedule, but they went above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. The floors look absolutely stunning—better than I could have imagined. It’s clear that Chris and his team take immense pride in their work, and it shows in the incredible results. One detail that really stood out was how thoughtful Chris was when it snowed during the project, he shoveled some of my driveway! This level of care and consideration is rare to find. If you’re looking for a flooring team that delivers top-notch quality, unparalleled professionalism, and a personal touch, look no further than A Step Ahead Flooring. I highly recommend them!"

Replacing carpet with laminate flooring is worthwhile for many homeowners seeking improved durability and simplified maintenance. Laminate resists stains and wears better than carpet while offering a convincing wood-like appearance.
Households with allergy concerns often benefit from laminate's non-porous surface, which doesn't harbor dust mites or allergens like carpet fibers. Additionally, many homebuyers prefer hard surface flooring, potentially making your property more appealing when it's time to sell.
For a standard 12x12 room (144 square feet), laminate flooring installation costs between $432 and $1,872. This range accounts for varying material quality and installation complexity. The lower estimate represents basic laminate with straightforward installation, while the higher figure reflects premium materials or challenging installation conditions. Remember to factor in additional costs for carpet removal if needed.
A professional team can complete carpet removal and laminate installation in a standard-sized room within one to three days. The timeline extends if subfloor preparation is needed or if furniture relocation presents challenges. The complete process involves removing existing carpet, preparing the subfloor, installing underlayment, laying laminate planks, and finishing edges. DIY installations take longer, particularly for those without previous flooring experience.
