When considering radiant heat, the reluctance to install hardwood floors over radiant heat systems was from the original technology, launched more than 40 years ago. With radiant heat, to compensate for poor insulation, radiant heat temperatures were higher than normal causing excessive expansion and contraction in hardwood floors, which resulted in damage to hardwoods and a builder's reputation. Today, faultless radiant heat installations of fine hardwood flooring are completed over radiant floor heating. To be honest, installing hardwoods over radiant heating systems is really no different from laying a typical hardwood floor. Although the temperature of radiant floor heating will not harm the wood ... Read Full Story

If you are planning to work with a home remodeling contractor, what are the topics you should negotiate before signing on the dottted line?

Let's work together to edit this list:

- Owner specs should be part of every contract
- The specifications should list the brand, make, and model numbers being used
- You should be specific about colors and any other descriptions
-  Ask if any of the materials are used or scrap materials or if they are all brand new.  Used can be OK, just be sure to know upfront and perhaps ask for a discount.
- Ask the timeframe to complete the project
- Ask to provide references specific to your project
