Customers often seek expertise on what type of floor is best in comparison to another. While some would argue that nothing beats the rich, timeless beauty of hardwood or the durability of ceramic tile, we suggest making the decision after you assess any budget constraints and most importantly, the long-term expected use of your flooring choice.

When considering the project cost, materials will be a factor, but remember that labor will be more intensive for things like smaller planks or sections that take more installation time.

Another important consideration is lifestyle. If you’re pet-free and childless, it’s pretty safe to say you won’t experience the same wear and tear as a family of five with a furry friend. Higher maintenance, easily dented flooring options, like hardwood, are more realistic for singles or couples. Families may opt for luxury vinyl flooring that, in more recent years, has made significant strides in mimicking the look of stone, tile and wood.

While room location and foot traffic will play a big part in your decision, weather should, as well. Do I live in an area of high humidity? Will my floor be exposed to bright sunlight? Is this floor going in an entryway or mudroom that will be susceptible to rainy boots or shoes?
