What type of flooring is best?
Each type of flooring has pros and cons:
Hardwood flooring costs more than other materials but is best for increasing home value.
Laminate and vinyl are easy to install and maintain but don't last as long as hardwood.
Tile flooring is best for bathrooms and kitchens because it's water resistant and long-lasting.
Carpet is comfortable and affordable but harder to keep clean.

Who installs flooring?

Mr. Walters was honest and forthright, fair in his pricing. He installed about 160 feet of wooden privacy fence in my backyard and was diligent about overcoming obstacles like trees and tree stumps that might have impeded the project. He knows his tools and knows his product and is skilled at what he does.

Mr. Francis is one of the most dependable contractors around the Charlotte Metro and surrounding areas, with a level of excellence that exceeds industry standards.
I am the owner of an architectural design/drafting house, and I have worked with Mr. Francis on numerous occasions over the last 6 years. Mr. Francis is a reputable builder and we have built a great working relationship with Odyssey solely based on his integrity, and his passion for construction.
Mr. Francis has always respected the design process and has gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that clients we have worked together with are completely satisfied with the job from start to finish.
His clientele that we have encountered have always been proud of the service that he brings to their projects and have been more than happy to employ his services in the future. Whenever Mr. Francis calls, I make sure that I or someone on my design team makes themselves available to him. He has been a valuable resource to refer to in the design process. He has also made himself available to me and my team, even if it is not a project he is directly associated with.
Mr. Francis is the professional you want to hire to get the job done!
