Flooring FAQs

Common questions about flooring types, durability, moisture resistance, and room selection.

Which flooring type is best for kitchens and bathrooms?

Tile, LVP, and LVT are popular options for kitchens and bathrooms because they handle moisture better than hardwood or standard laminate.

  • Tile for durability and water resistance
  • LVP/LVT for comfort and easy maintenance
  • Engineered wood may work in some kitchens
What is the difference between hardwood and engineered wood?

Hardwood is made from solid wood planks, while engineered wood has a real wood veneer over a stable layered core. Engineered wood handles humidity changes better.

  • Hardwood can often be refinished multiple times
  • Engineered wood offers better stability
  • Both provide a real wood appearance
Is luxury vinyl flooring a good option for busy households?

Yes. LVP and LVT are durable, low-maintenance, and often water-resistant or waterproof, making them a strong option for pets, kids, kitchens, basements, and high-traffic spaces.

  • Durable wear layers
  • Wood or tile looks
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance
Can damaged flooring be repaired instead of replaced?

Sometimes. Loose boards, cracked tile, worn sections, or minor damage may be repairable. If the flooring is severely worn, uneven, or water-damaged, replacement may be the better long-term choice.

  • Damage inspection
  • Repair vs. replacement guidance
  • Updated flooring options if needed
