Frequently asked in Chicago

What is the best flooring for the money in Chicago?

For excellent value in Chicago, engineered wood flooring is a top contender. It offers the beauty of hardwood while being more stable in fluctuating humidity levels common in the Midwest. Pros can help you select durable, cost-effective options for your Chicago residence.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The 1 3 rule is an important guideline for subfloor stability, ensuring it can support your new wood flooring without excessive movement. Proper subfloor preparation is crucial for preventing future issues like squeaks or warping. The installation crew will verify your subfloor's condition for a flawless Chicago installation.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank (LVP) is highly recommended for Chicago homes due to its superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and entryways. Laminate offers a wood-like appearance at a potentially lower price point. The pros can discuss which material best suits your lifestyle and home's specific needs.

What type of flooring is most popular now?
