Flooring sets the foundation for any room – literally! When it's time for a home renovation, the flooring choices you make will impact the feel of your space, how much maintenance it requires, and of course, your project budget.  Let's break down some of the most popular options to help you pick the perfect fit.

Types of Flooring

• Hardwood: Timeless and elegant, hardwood offers unmatched warmth and natural beauty. It's a top choice for living areas and bedrooms. However, hardwood can be sensitive to moisture and may scratch over time. Budget: $$ - $$$

• Engineered Wood: This option delivers a similar look to hardwood at a more affordable price. It consists of a thin hardwood veneer placed over a plywood base, offering better moisture resistance than solid wood. Budget: $ - $$

• Laminate: Mimicking the look of wood or stone, laminate is budget-friendly and very durable. Modern laminates look far more realistic than older versions but lack the authentic feel of real wood. Budget: $

• Vinyl: Available in sheets, tiles, or planks, vinyl's main selling point is its water resistance – perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Easy to maintain and highly affordable. Budget: $

• Tile: Ceramic and porcelain tiles boast stunning variety and excellent durability. Ideal for wet areas and high-traffic zones, but it can feel cold underfoot. Budget: $ - $$$

Additional Factors

• Durability: Think about foot traffic. Hardwood shines in living areas, while tile takes the lead in kitchens and entryways.

• Maintenance: Hardwood and tile need periodic sealing and refinishing. Vinyl and laminate are ultra-low maintenance.

• Budget: Get upfront quotes to assess how different options compare. Remember, installation costs factor in as well!

Making Your Choice

There's no single "best" flooring. Consider these questions to narrow it down:

• Which rooms are you renovating? Functionality matters!

• What's your design style? Do you lean modern, rustic, or something else?

• What's your budget? Factor in materials AND installation.

The perfect flooring will give you years of beauty and satisfaction while fitting squarely within your renovation goals. Don't forget to visit showrooms and request samples to try out different looks in your own home.
