How do I choose the right flooring for my home?


Choosing the right flooring depends on several things: the room, foot traffic, family needs, and, of course, style. For high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens, a durable option like tile, or vinyl might be your best bet. For cozy spaces like bedrooms, carpet or hardwood often adds warmth and comfort. Consider who will be using the space—kids, pets, guests—and how much maintenance you’re willing to handle. Don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.


Is vinyl flooring really waterproof?


Yes! One of the standout features of vinyl flooring is its waterproof construction. This makes it a popular choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements—anywhere water or spills are common. Luxury vinyl, especially, is designed to withstand moisture without warping or damage. It’s also easy to clean, making it ideal for households with kids or pets. While vinyl is waterproof, we still recommend cleaning up any spills quickly to maintain its appearance and longevity.


Can I install new flooring over my existing floor?


In many cases, yes! Vinyl and some engineered wood floors can often be installed over existing flooring, provided the subfloor is even and in good condition. This can save you time and the hassle of tearing up old flooring. However, certain floors, like tile or solid hardwood, may require full removal of the previous floor for the best results. Our team can inspect your current flooring and recommend the best installation approach.


How do I maintain my floors?


Maintenance depends on the type of flooring you have. Here’s a quick guide:

 

  • Hardwood: Sweep regularly and avoid excessive moisture. Use a hardwood cleaner for extra shine.
  • Vinyl: Sweep or vacuum regularly and mop with a mild cleaner.
  • Carpet: Vacuum weekly and deep-clean annually to keep it fresh.
  • Tile: Sweep and mop often, and use a grout cleaner to keep grout lines bright.

 


We’ll provide specific care tips based on the flooring you choose to help keep it looking its best.

Can I install flooring myself?


While it’s possible to DIY some types of flooring (like vinyl), professional installation ensures precision and quality. Floors like hardwood or tile require tools and expertise for a flawless fit. Our installers handle everything, so you get a perfect, durable finish without the stress.


How long does installation usually take?


The installation timeline depends on the type of flooring and the room size. For example, a standard room with vinyl can be done in a day, while hardwood or tile might take a few days. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
