Five Things to Consider As You Shop for New Flooring, Carpet, or Tile

1. Location & Traffic: High-traffic areas need tougher materials like hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), or tile. Low-traffic areas are more suitable for carpeting. Larger tiles create stunning entryways, but smaller tiles ensure better traction in wet areas like shower stall floors. Stain-resistant and no-show carpets are ideal for busy living rooms, while that luxurious white rug might be better suited for your master bedroom.

2. Durability: Homes with kids, pets, or even heavy furniture might fare better with scratch-resistant flooring like LVP, tile, or high-quality laminate. LVP, ceramic tile, and stain-resistant carpet can be lower-maintenance options, and LVP and tile are notoriously waterproof.

3. Lifestyle: Maybe your kids and their friends make every room in your house a high-traffic area. Maybe you have four-legged family members and need pet-friendly carpet (did you know that pets can snag their claws on looped or berber carpeting?). Whatever your lifestyle – our quality flooring and carpet brands are designed and manufactured to meet whatever your home needs.

4. Color/Design: Who doesn’t love a color or design trend? Sadly, some people don’t if they invest in one that quickly goes out of style. Whether you’re making a bold change to match your creative vision or need help selecting neutral tones that will outlast any fads, we can help you think through your short- and long-term wants and needs.

5. Longevity: Selecting flooring that lasts is one thing, but we want to help you invest in flooring that you will love for the long-haul. Which is why we help you think through your design aesthetic, lifestyle needs, and how you need your flooring to be something you can depend on as your home evolves over the next several years.
