What affects the price

The final amount for your new floors depends on a few specific things. First, it comes down to the material you choose, whether that is hardwood, luxury vinyl, or carpet. The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Winston-Salem

What is the best flooring for the money in Winston-Salem?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' is a common guideline for flooring installation. It suggests that for every 1 inch of flooring thickness, you should allow 3 inches of expansion space. This is crucial in areas with fluctuating humidity, common in North Carolina. Pros will ensure proper installation to prevent buckling or gaps.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Both vinyl plank and laminate are popular choices in Winston-Salem. Vinyl plank is generally more water-resistant, making it great for kitchens and bathrooms. Laminate can offer a more authentic wood look at a lower price point. The best choice depends on your specific needs and the rooms you're flooring.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are leading the pack. People love LVP for its durability and water resistance, perfect for families. Engineered hardwood offers the look of real wood with better stability in varied humidity. Pros can guide you to the trendiest options.
