For 4 family generations, the name Molyneaux has been synonymous with excellence and superior customer service throughout the Pittsburgh area. Formerly just a flooring company, we have now expanded into Custom Cabinet Restyling™, countertops, interior painting and Bathroom Refresh™. We are a local, family-owned business with a proven track record of customer satisfaction. Stop by one of our 7 showroom locations or give us a call to learn how we can bring beauty and joy from floor to ceiling!
"I wanted to take a moment to review Molyneaux flooring and the sales person, Rob Celedonia. After a preliminary phone call to discuss our carpeting project, budget, and timing, Rob came to our home to calculate the floor space as well present us with carpet options that matched our plan for the overall project. Rob demonstrated a deep knowledge and understanding of the various carpets, and delivered a matter-of-fact presentation of the products. What pleased me the most about Rob’s presentation was the lack of high-pressure sales tactics. More to the point, Rob encouraged me to take my time figuring out what we wanted to do, and left us various samples to assist us in figuring out what color/product we wanted to have installed, if anything. We were encouraged to evaluate other company’s products as well, which we did, but were hardly impressed by the competition. Home Depot, I’m looking at you. The product and pricing were far superior to anything anyone else was offering. Rob was exceedingly patient as he walked us through the process of explaining the various types of carpet Molyneaux carries, warranty information and differences, performance differences, etc. over the course of 3 separate consultations (1 in our home, 2 in the store). Throughout the process, Rob made us feel comfortable and confident in Molyneaux by maintaining a professional, no-nonsense, zero-pressure sales approach. We were just as impressed by the installers, Bob and Jay, as we were by Molyneaux’s products and Rob’s sales and product acumen. They were professional, cordial, and above all treated our home, furniture, and pets with an incredible amount of respect. In fact, they made a doggy-bed for our elderly mini schnauzer and carried him with them as they moved from room to room. Our dog absolutely loved it! On top of that, their skill and professionalism were absolutely unmatched. Within 2 days they removed and replaced carpeting on 4 sets of stairs, 2 hallways, 2 landings, and 3 fairly sizable rooms. They did a custom wrap on our barrel steps that every other company who evaluated them said could not be done. In the end, the new carpet has transformed our home, thanks in no small part to Rob, Molyneaux, and their installation team. I am quite impressed with Molyneaux, and I will definitely be reaching out to Rob Celedonia for our next flooring project soon."

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."

Blown in insulation install or upgrades FAQs
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.
