Choosing the right flooring can be a big decision, but we're here to make it easier. Whether you're exploring carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or laminate, our team is ready to answer your questions and guide you to the perfect solution for your home. 

Carpet

How durable is carpet for busy households?

Carpet is a great option for comfort, but its durability depends on the type of fiber and pile you choose. High-traffic areas benefit from low-pile, stain-resistant options like nylon or polyester blends. 

What type of carpet is best for families with pets?

Stain-resistant carpets made from synthetic fibers, such as solution-dyed polyester, are excellent for homes with pets, as they resist odors and are easy to clean.

Can carpet help with insulation and noise reduction?

Yes, carpet adds a layer of thermal insulation and absorbs sound, making it ideal for creating a quieter, cozier home environment.

How do I maintain my carpet to keep it looking fresh?

Regular vacuuming, immediate spot cleaning, and professional deep cleaning every 12–18 months will extend your carpet's life and keep it looking like new.

Is carpet an eco-friendly option?

Many modern carpets are made from recycled materials or natural fibers, making them an eco-conscious choice. Ask us about our sustainable options! 

Hardwood

How does hardwood flooring perform in Colorado’s climate? 

Hardwood floors work beautifully in Colorado, but it’s essential to control humidity levels to prevent expansion or contraction due to the dry climate. 

Can hardwood floors be refinished?

Yes, most hardwood floors can be refinished several times, allowing you to refresh their look or repair surface scratches over the years.

What’s the best way to clean hardwood floors?

Use a soft broom, vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment, and a damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner for regular maintenance. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage the wood.

Are hardwood floors pet-friendly?

While hardwood can withstand wear and tear, scratches from pet claws may occur. Consider harder woods like oak or maple and apply a durable finish for added protection.

What’s the lifespan of hardwood flooring?

With proper care and maintenance, hardwood floors can last 50 years or more, making them a timeless investment for your home.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

What is LVP, and why is it a great choice for Colorado homes?

Luxury vinyl plank mimics the look of natural wood while offering water resistance, durability, and affordability, making it ideal for Colorado’s varied climate and active lifestyles. 

How does LVP compare to hardwood floors?

LVP offers the beauty of hardwood with added benefits like scratch resistance, waterproofing, and lower cost, making it a practical alternative for busy households.

Can I customize the look of my vinyl flooring?

How long does LVP flooring last?

With proper care, luxury vinyl plank flooring can last 20–25 years, making it a durable and cost-effective option.

Laminate

Are laminated floors a good choice for busy households?

Yes, laminate is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean, making it an excellent choice for homes with kids and pets. 

What’s the difference between laminate and hardwood?

While hardwood is made from solid wood, laminate features a photographic layer that mimics wood, providing a similar look at a fraction of the cost.

Can laminate flooring handle moisture?

While laminate is not fully waterproof, many modern options offer water resistance, making them suitable for kitchens and entryways with occasional spills.

How do I maintain laminate floors?
