Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring remains a timeless and elegant choice for custom homes. Hardwood adds warmth and character to any space because it is known for its durability and natural beauty. Popular options like oak and walnut come in various stains and finishes, allowing customization to match your interior design. Hardwood floors are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical option for families. Additionally, they can be refinished multiple times, ensuring longevity and value.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is a versatile and cost-effective alternative to hardwood. It consists of multiple fused layers with a high-resolution image layer that mimics the look of wood, stone or tile. This type of flooring is highly durable and resistant to scratches. It can be installed in high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Laminate is easier to install than hardwood and offers a wide range of design options to fit any style.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has come a long way in terms of design and durability. Available in sheets, tiles or planks, vinyl can replicate the appearance of wood, stone and other materials. It is water-resistant, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens and basements. Vinyl is also softer underfoot than hardwood or tile, providing comfort in areas where you stand for long periods. Its resilience and low maintenance make it a popular choice for busy households.

Tile Flooring

Tile flooring, whether ceramic, porcelain or natural stone, is prized for its durability and versatility. Ideal for high-moisture areas, tile is water-resistant and easy to clean. It comes in various colors, sizes and textures, allowing creative and personalized designs. Tile is also highly durable, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. The cool surface of the tile can be a refreshing feature in the warmer months.

Carpeting

Carpeting adds warmth and comfort to any home, making it a popular choice for bedrooms, living rooms and family rooms. It is available in various materials, styles and colors, providing flexibility in design. Carpet is excellent for sound insulation and can help reduce noise levels in multi-story homes. Modern carpets are treated to resist stains and are relatively easy to clean and maintain. However, they may require more frequent cleaning compared to other flooring options.
