Tips: - Before starting any flooring work, invest in a good set of kneepads.
- Use a putty knife and latex wood-patch compound to fill deep gouges in wood floors.
- Carpeting absorbs more noise than any other type of flooring.
- Vinyl or sheet flooring can withstand heavy traffic and frequent washings.
- A good time to re-nail squeaking floors is when you're installing new flooring.
- Nail clippers work well for fixing blemishes on the surface fibers of carpet.
