Frequently asked in Chicago

What is the best flooring for the money in Chicago?

For budget-friendly and durable flooring in Chicago, consider high-quality laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These materials offer excellent value, mimicking the look of natural wood or stone while being more resistant to moisture and wear, which is beneficial for Chicago's climate. The pros can help you find the best balance of cost and quality.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate for a Chicago home?

Vinyl plank is a strong contender for Chicago homes due to its excellent water resistance, making it suitable for kitchens and entryways that deal with snow and rain. Laminate offers a more wood-like feel at a lower cost but is less forgiving with moisture. Discuss your home's specific needs with the experts to make the best choice.

What type of flooring is most popular now in Chicago?

Wide-plank hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continue to be very popular in Chicago homes. Homeowners are drawn to the sophisticated look of natural wood grains and the practicality of LVP for busy households. The professionals can guide you through current trends and timeless options.

What is the cheapest but best flooring for a Chicago home?

To find the most affordable yet high-quality flooring in Chicago, look into premium laminate or vinyl plank. These options provide great durability and aesthetic appeal, mimicking more expensive materials while fitting a tighter budget. The pros can recommend selections that offer the best long-term value for your home.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' for flooring is a visual guideline to ensure a natural and appealing plank layout. It suggests avoiding uniformity by not placing more than one plank of the same length in a row and not having more than three planks of the same width adjacent to each other. This creates a more organic and less repetitive look.
