Sales & Installation of all flooring products: Carpeting, Ceramic Tile, Hardwood and Vinyl flooring. We have our own installation technicians. A specialty store with prices that will compete with the big box stores. Many of our services are included with our installed price, without all the hidden charges that many stores add.
"Thinking about new flooring? Think about Young Brothers for the job!!! I just purchased Luxury Vinyl flooring from Young Brothers, and they did a wonderful job on the installation. I wanted to remove the old tile so that I could have an even transition from kitchen to dining room. It was a big job to take out all the old plywood. They did a good job of keeping the dust to a minimum. They cleaned up after themselves on each of the 5 days. I am pleased with the flooring and installation. I would highly recommend Young Brothers. I have other floors that could be updated, and I would absolutely use them again. They had a lot of choices in flooring, make, and colors. I went with something that looked like wood and would match the wooden floors I had in the dining room."

As a small independent retailer since 1972, we keep our overhead low enabling us to pass on savings to you. As a member of the Abbey buying group of 800 member stores, we have buying power and selection. Our lifetime residential installation warranty is second to none. Our staff is knowledgeable and experienced. We realize when people come to us it is to find a flooring solution from someone that they can trust. We will only sell products for specific areas where they will perform, and we won’t sell you a product that won’t be right for your application. We do not offer free installation since our installer’s wives won’t let them work for free. Our pricing is straight forward, without gimmicks, and is usually less than the competition’s sale or discounted price. We invite you to come in and visit our extensive carpet, tile, wood, cork, linoleum, and luxury vinyl showrooms.
"Amazing job! I have already recommended Riverview Carpet and Flooring to several people. The whole experience from beginning to end was excellent!"

FAQs for blown in insulation install or upgrade projects in Pittsburgh, PA
Many major home improvement retailers offer free machine rentals when you purchase a minimum quantity of insulation material, often 20 to 30 bags. These promotions vary by location and season, so calling ahead to confirm current offers is recommended. Be sure to understand any time limitations that apply to these free rentals, as they may restrict you to a specific return window, often 24 hours from checkout.
For most residential attics under 1,500 square feet, a standard consumer-grade blower available at rental centers will provide adequate performance. Larger spaces or projects requiring greater insulation depth may benefit from higher-capacity equipment.
When consulting with the rental provider, mention your attic's square footage, desired insulation depth, and accessibility conditions to receive appropriate equipment recommendations for your specific situation.
DIY installation saves between $160 and $560 in labor costs for standard attic installations requiring four to eight hours of work. These savings must be weighed against equipment rental fees of $50 to $210 per day and the value of your personal time. For more complex installations like wall insulation, which can require 20+ hours of professional labor (costing $800 or more), the potential savings increase substantially, though so does the project complexity.
While there's a learning curve, most homeowners can master the basics with some practice. Key techniques include maintaining consistent material flow into the hopper, controlling hose direction effectively, and preventing clogs in the system.
Starting in less visible areas allows you to refine your technique before moving to more prominent spaces. Thoroughly reviewing the equipment manual and watching instructional videos beforehand significantly improves first-time success rates.
Standard rental periods provide 24 hours of use, though specific terms vary by provider. Some locations calculate this as a calendar day, while others track a full 24-hour period from checkout time. Clarify the exact return deadline when renting, and plan your project timeline accordingly. Late returns often incur additional daily charges at the full rental rate, which can quickly increase your project cost if not managed carefully.
