Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Plush carpet provides a soft, comfortable surface, but for homes with pets and kids, consider a stain-resistant option like solution-dyed nylon or polyester. Low-pile carpets, such as textured or frieze styles, also help hide footprints and vacuum marks.

Regular vacuuming (at least twice a week) helps prevent dirt buildup. For deep cleaning, schedule a professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months. Spot-clean spills immediately using a manufacturer-approved carpet cleaner to avoid staining.

Low-pile carpets made from synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester are best for allergies, as they trap fewer allergens and are easier to clean. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter and annual professional cleaning can help maintain air quality. 

While hardwood can be installed in kitchens, it’s not ideal for bathrooms due to moisture exposure. If choosing hardwood for these spaces, engineered wood with a water-resistant finish is a better option. 

Use felt pads on furniture, trim pet nails, and avoid wearing high heels indoors. Regular sweeping and damp mopping with a hardwood-safe cleaner helps prevent dirt buildup that can cause scratches.

Solid hardwood can be refinished every 7-10 years, depending on wear. Engineered hardwood can be refinished once or twice, depending on the thickness of the veneer.

Yes! Most luxury vinyl planks (LVP) and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are fully waterproof, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. 

In most cases, yes! Luxury vinyl can be installed over tile, hardwood, or concrete as long as the surface is clean, level, and free of major imperfections.

Sweep or vacuum regularly and mop with a damp microfiber cloth and a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steam mops, which can damage the finish.

Laminate mimics the look of hardwood but is more budget-friendly and scratch-resistant. Unlike hardwood, it’s not suitable for refinishing, but high-quality laminate can last 15-25 years with proper care. 

Laminate mimics the look of hardwood but is more budget-friendly and scratch-resistant. Unlike hardwood, it’s not suitable for refinishing, but high-quality laminate can last 15-25 years with proper care. 

Use a dry microfiber mop or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a laminate-safe cleaner—never use excessive water or steam mops, as moisture can cause warping.

Natural stone (like marble, travertine, or slate) is cut from real stone, making each piece unique. It requires sealing and more maintenance. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are manufactured and offer more consistency, durability, and water resistance with less upkeep.

Yes! Most natural stone floors require sealing upon installation and periodic resealing to protect against stains and moisture. The frequency depends on the type of stone and its finish.

Absolutely! Tile is scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and won’t trap pet dander or allergens like carpet. Porcelain tile, in particular, is extremely durable and water-resistant.

A mixture of warm water and mild detergent or baking soda works well. For deep cleaning, use a grout brush and a vinegar-water solution. Sealing grout annually helps prevent stains and buildup.

Epoxy is a durable, seamless coating applied over concrete floors. It’s commonly used in garages, basements, and commercial spaces due to its resistance to stains, chemicals, and heavy foot traffic.

Epoxy can be slippery when wet but adding a textured anti-slip additive can improve traction, making it safer for residential and commercial applications. 

With proper maintenance, epoxy floors can last 10-20 years, depending on usage. In high-traffic areas, occasional reapplication may be needed. 

Sweep regularly to remove debris, mop with a mild detergent, and avoid using abrasive cleaners. For added protection, place mats in high-traffic areas and under heavy furniture.
