Family owned business since 1964. Specializing in the installation and finishing of traditional hardwood flooring.

"Lou Toppia was just the expert I needed. Not only was I expecting him to refinish my hardwood floors, I was asking him to come in and work miracles to repair the damage done by another contractor who had a damaged machine created wavy distortions to my floors. Lou made them look beautiful again! He was very honest about what he could and could not make perfect and his work always exceeded my expectations. Lou was careful to keep his work area very clean, cleaned up after himself daily and protected my other living areas by sheeting off the rooms he was refinishing. The final finish is so beautiful, with four coats of satin urethane, I think they look better than the factory finish. I would highly recommend Lou to anyone in need of hardwood flooring installation or refinishing."

"This was our first time working with Steve, and it was a great experience. We requested a quote during a larger home renovation and found that the price was very competitive. Steve was also willing to work around our changing timetable and fit us into a tight window alongside other contractors' schedules. He routinely checked in on our timing and was able to accommodate us quickly once we were ready for the wood to be installed. The crew was amazing—courteous, polite, and extremely hard-working. They ensured everything was done to our satisfaction and even stayed late on the final day to complete the job and clean up. Their work was excellent. It’s worth noting that the lumber company—not Minuteman—delivered some boxes of the wrong color wood. Steve was extremely responsive, ensured the mistake was corrected, and made sure it did not delay the project. To me, that is the mark of a great contractor. The team even repaired our bathroom subfloor, which was outside the scope of the project. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and we truly appreciate the team’s dedication to the project. The floors look fantastic!"

Carpet repair, refasten, or stretches FAQs

Yes, you can repair a damaged section of carpet using a carpet patch. In this repair, a professional cuts out the damaged area and installs a matching piece with precision to restore the carpet’s appearance and function. This method secures the repair permanently and extends the carpet’s lifespan while maintaining a seamless look across your flooring.

Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it’s probably better to replace it altogether. Most carpets are expected to last anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it’s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one. Hire a carpet cleaner near you to take care of the job properly.

Patching your carpet in damaged areas or using an industry-grade cleaner on urine spots can help remove stains and scents from your carpet. If odors linger, leave baking soda on the area overnight (dry), then vacuum it up in the morning. 

It is essential to stretch a carpet before cleaning it to guarantee that the fibers remain taut and secure. Stretching realigns the carpet and creates a smooth surface, and subsequent cleaning preserves the tension and integrity of the installation. This order of operation maintains the carpet’s appearance and prolongs its effective lifespan.

Spring and fall are the optimal seasons for installing carpet because moderate temperatures and low humidity create the perfect conditions for the carpet to acclimate and secure evenly. Installing during these periods minimizes moisture-related issues and ensures precise fitting, while winter installations often face challenges that can affect the overall performance of the carpet.
