Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
At Floor Coverings International, we are a shop at home service. We will bring the "store to your door" so that you can see the flooring and colors in your own home and lighting and color coordinate with your paint colors and decor. When it comes to sanding and refinishing, not only we will help guide you in color selections, but we will also test out a few colors for you on your floor. This is important because every floor is different, so it's best to see what the stain will actually look like on your own floors (rather than a tiny sample).
We offer both the standard refinishing process as well as a dustless sanding system. Dustless sanding costs a bit extra, but many customers feel it's worth it, especially if they have someone with allergies in their household. We offer both oil and water based polyurethane, and we will help you understand the pros and cons on each method.
Wow, what an a difference 
Now, radiant heat flooring can be used for virtually all types of flooring surfaces - tile, many types of hardwood, laminate, cork, bamboo and now even carpet. At Floor Coverings International of Westchester NY, we proudly use Warmup Radiant heated floors. We customize the flooring based on your needs. Warmup provides outstanding temperature controlled heat, and they provide a 30 year transferable warranty on their product.
With Warmup radiant heat flooring, not only will your floors heat up quickly, but once they reach your desired temperature level, they will stabilize. With the thermometer, you have the ability to turn the heat on/off as well as adjust the temperature.
Radiant floor heating has become more and more affordable these last couple of years. While every project is different, pending on the type of flooring you are installing, size of space (as well as placement of electric boxes in your home), and general rule of thumb is that the radiant heat will probably add an additional 20-40% to the cost of your flooring project. Given the added level of comfort (as well as some potential energy savings), many feel this is worth it.
We provide guidance - Which is the best type of flooring for your environment and your budget? We'll help explain the pros and cons among the different types of flooring. Whether it's the kitchen, living room, bedrooms or bathrooms, we can help - different types of flooring work better in different environments so let us guide you. We can price out different options so you can compare across hardwood floors vs. carpet, or tile vs. laminate. We'll help you understand what is most practical for you/your family's/your pets' lifestyle.
Floor Coverings International provides design guidance on picking colors, style and layout. We love to help provide design advice. We want to help make your home look more beautiful - it's a reflection of you and our work. If it's hardwood flooring, we can help you pick the species and color of wood; if it's tile, we can advise you on design layout and patterns; if it's carpet, we can help you pick the right color; if it's a backsplash, we can provide you tile and design ideas.

El Dorado Court
On Saturday, I was brought in to "inspect" some hardwood floors that had just been just been refinished. To be perfectly honest, the floor was not horrible (and I've seen way way worse), but it wasn't as good as it should have been. The homeowner wasn't happy adn she asked the contractor to fix it, but he apparently made it worse. 
4. The bedroom upstairs had gaps large gaps in the wood which now have big pieces of putty filler and look silly. The gaps were pre-existing and are NOT the fault of the contractor; they were uncovered when the carpet was removed. But, the contractor should have contacted the homeowner before proceeding to provide the homeowner with options: Option A, repair wood by weaving in new wood for X dollars (in my opinion the best option), Option B - leave as is (the next best options) or Option C: add putty...a flooring contractor would have told the homeowner that they putty will show and look different, especially when a stain is being added.
