Laminate flooring is a hard material consisting of MDF (medium density fiberboard) and a scratch resistant coating but has no water resistant features.  Luxury vinyl plank or tile is going to be waterproof flooring completely on the surface and under the surface meaning if your house has a flood you could take this floor up, dry it and reinstall! All of our luxury vinyl is embossed and registered to look and feel like real wood,  and with a 20 mil wear layer or above so you will have plenty of surface protection from anything life throws your way. Luxury vinyl has many different styles from a groutable tile look or click together tile, to a lovely long plank wood look, the possibilities are endless! Wood Composite flooring has come a long way in the past few years, it will typically be a lot harder to scratch and can have up to 100 hours water resistance, though it is not waterproof. Our wood composite flooring is made from a wood composite that is tightly pressed to form the top layer with a scratch resistant coating. It is also thicker than luxury vinyl making it easier to transition from tile or wood to new Surge Composite flooring.

There are two types of hardwood flooring: Solid and Engineered. Solid flooring can only be installed over a subfloor so if you have a concrete slab you can not install a solid floor. Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of timber, it has a thick wear layer and can be refinished several times. Engineered flooring is made of multiple layers sliced and formed into one piece of flooring, and can be installed over concrete floors. Both solid and engineered floorings are beautiful and add value to your home.

Absolutely not! Hardwood flooring and moisture do not get along! Use a woodpecker cleaner or a bona cleaner and mop for the cleaner you are using. Easy maintenance and a beautiful floor for a very long time with proper care will make your floors last for years to come.

We only source the best tile and handle all your installation so your project is done right and looks great.

However, it will vary depending on your individual area. There are several things to contemplate before you start.
