Kustom Floors is a Family Owned and Operated company specializing in Quality Hardwood installation. Please call our office today to schedule an appointment 301-564-0474 We also provide laminate installation, custom handrails and painting services. Our philosophy is to provide you with exactly what was promised, using the highest standard, without the rush. Due to our current install schedule we are not currently offering repair work.

"Kustom Floors and its owner Mr. Rudy Arredondo did a spectacular job refinishing the hardwood floors in my home. This hardwood floor installed in 1954 needed to be replaced because it looked ugly, worn out and beat up. Kustom Floors did such a high quality job that the refinished floors now look like new. My wife and I sometimes look at pictures showing the flooring before KF came in and it is honestly hard to believe it could be rescued from so much deterioration. I only wanted to use a stain and coats that were green and zero VOC. I contacted another well regarded company and they only offered duraseal which is toxic and I did not want my family and dog to inhale its toxic fumes. Thankfully, Kustom Floors offered a zero VOC solution (Rubio Monocoat): natural, clean and beautiful. To my surprise their pricing for their superior zero VOC stain and coat was reasonable compared to the duraseal estimate from the well regarded competitor. They also removed an old dirty carpet in my basement and installed vinyl flooring. This job was executed with precision and attention to detail. I highly recommend KF. In fact, I am interested in replacing my kitchen floor with them."

"Mr Zavala was hired to replace the existing heart pine flooring with a new subfloor and hardwood flooring. After a couple of weeks he still had not finished removing the old flooring. After applying some pressure to get the job, he proceeded to install the subfloor on the second floor in a shoddy manner, leaving us with an uneven subfloor. He also installed the subfloor with improper nails (smooth shank) when he should have used screws or at least ring shank. In addition, there were spots where he removed the old flooring (which functions as a subfloor in old houses) underneath a partition wall, causing the partition wall to sag. At that point we lost confidence in him and fired him. Unfortunately, we had paid him half the money at the start of the job and he only completed about 1/4 of it (badly). We subsequently got estimates from other contractors who told us he had installed the subfloor incorrectly, cutting the panels too small and not using the built in grooves to align the panels. Furthermore, they informed us that it is standard professional practice to inform the owner of the value of their existing flooring, which was long-leaf heart pine. We should have been compensated for this removed material which has considerable salvage value. So it it clear that he was taking his sweet time to remove the old heart pine so that he could maximize its value to him. Furthermore, a $1000 bicycle went missing while he was working in the house, which I suspect was taken by one of his workers. Needless to say, hire this guy at your own risk."

Carpet installations FAQs

Carpet padding is essential for extending your carpet’s lifespan. It acts as a protective barrier between your carpet and the subfloor, reducing friction and preventing premature wear. It also enhances underfoot comfort by absorbing impact and noise while protecting floorboards from damage. If you’re installing new carpets, investing in a quality pad improves comfort, durability, and performance.

How much carpet padding you need depends on the size of the room you're carpeting. Measure the length and width of the room and multiply those figures to get the square footage. Then, use the square footage to determine how much carpet pad you need to cover the room. It's a good idea to budget for 10% more overage than your calculations in case of mishaps during the installation.

The lifespan of carpet padding depends on the material used and the level of foot traffic it endures. Flat rubber padding can last for up to 20 years, while prime foam often needs to be replaced in less than five years. Worn padding affects your carpet’s comfort and support, so regular inspections help determine when it’s time for an upgrade.

You should replace your carpet padding when it no longer provides adequate support. Signs that it's time for a replacement include loss of springiness, visible lumps or dips, and a crinkly sound underfoot. Replacing the padding promptly preserves both comfort and the appearance of your carpet, helping to extend its lifespan and prevent premature wear.
