Flooring is one of the first selections you should lock in — it anchors the look and feel of the entire space. Once your flooring is confirmed, everything else builds around it: cabinets, paint, fixtures, and trim. Finalizing your flooring early also protects your project timeline and prevents costly delays.

Most flooring is priced by the square foot or by the box, depending on the product line. You'll need your room's square footage to get an accurate estimate, and we always recommend purchasing 10–15% extra to account for cuts, waste, pattern matching, and future repairs. We'll help you calculate everything when you request a quote.

We order directly from our vendors — no warehouse markups, no middleman. Most in-stock flooring ships within 2–3 business days. Special order products and custom colors typically take 10–14 business days. If anything is backordered, we'll let you know right away so you can wait or choose an alternative.

It depends on the product and your space. Luxury vinyl plank and laminate are among the most DIY-friendly flooring options — most use a click-lock system that doesn't require adhesive or nails. Hardwood and engineered hardwood are more technical, especially in large rooms or with complex layouts, and typically benefit from a professional installer. Carpet installation almost always requires a contractor. Not sure what your flooring requires? Ask us and we'll give you a real answer.

The right flooring depends on the room's function, moisture exposure, and foot traffic.

LIVING ROOMS & BEDROOMS — Almost any flooring works here. Hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, LVP, and carpet are all popular choices depending on your style and budget.

KITCHENS — You need something durable and moisture-resistant. LVP, tile, and hardwood (properly sealed) are all solid options. Avoid carpet and non-waterproof laminate in kitchens.

BASEMENTS — Moisture is the primary concern. LVP is the top choice for below-grade spaces. Engineered hardwood can work in some conditions. Avoid solid hardwood and standard laminate.

BATHROOMS — LVP and tile are the go-to options. Both handle moisture well and are easy to clean. Avoid solid hardwood entirely in full bathrooms.

HOME GYMS — Rubber flooring is purpose-built for this space. It's impact-resistant, easy to clean, and protects your subfloor from equipment.

What do I need to know about flooring underlayment and transitions?
These details matter more than most people realize.

UNDERLAYMENT goes between your subfloor and your finished flooring. It provides cushion, sound absorption, and moisture protection. Some flooring products come with underlayment pre-attached — we'll let you know what's needed for your specific product.

TRANSITIONS are the strips that bridge flooring between rooms, different floor heights, or where flooring meets carpet or tile. They create a clean, finished look and protect the flooring edges. Most of our vendors offer coordinating transition pieces for their product lines.

Tile sets the foundation for everything else in the space, so it should be selected first. Once your tile is confirmed, you can build out the rest of your selections around it — trim, plumbing fixtures, lighting, hardware, vanities, shower doors, and more. Locking in your tile early also protects your project timeline and prevents delays downstream.

Most tile is priced by the box. Mosaic tiles and trim pieces are typically priced by the piece or linear foot. You'll need your exact square footage to get an accurate order quantity, and we always recommend adding 10–15% for cuts, waste, and future repairs. We'll help you calculate all of this when you request a quote.

We don't stock tile on-site — we order directly from our vendors, which is how we keep pricing sharp. Most in-stock tile ships within 2–3 business days. Special order items typically take 10–14 business days. If anything is backordered, we'll notify you immediately so you can wait or make a new selection. No surprises.

It depends on your experience level, the tile type, and the complexity of your space. Porcelain and ceramic are more forgiving for confident DIYers. Natural stone and glass require more precision and are better suited for experienced installers or contractors. Regardless of who installs, always purchase 10–15% extra for cuts, waste, and future replacements. Not sure what your tile requires? Ask us — we'll give you a straight answer.

Beyond style and color, tile selection comes down to three performance factors: hardness (PEI rating), slip resistance, and water absorption rate.

KITCHENS — Floor tile should have a higher PEI rating to handle foot traffic. Popular options include ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and vinyl. For backsplashes, almost anything works — porcelain, ceramic, glass, metal, and natural stone are all common choices.

BATHROOMS — Lower PEI ratings are acceptable since foot traffic is lighter, but moisture resistance is critical. Choose matte or textured finishes for shower floors and wet areas to reduce slip risk. Porcelain, ceramic, glass, and natural stone are all strong choices.

OUTDOOR — You need non-porous, slip-resistant, freeze-thaw stable tile. Outdoor porcelain and unpolished natural stone are excellent. Avoid cement tile in climates with hard freezes — it can crack over time.

Not sure what's right for your specific project? We'll help you narrow it down.

What do I need to know about grout, mortar, and trim?
These finishing materials complete your installation and protect your investment — don't overlook them.

GROUT fills the joints between tiles, seals out moisture, and finishes the look. The most common types are sanded (wider joints, floors, high-traffic areas), unsanded (thin joints, shower walls), and epoxy (high-moisture and high-traffic areas, very durable). We'll recommend the right type for your application.

MORTAR is the adhesive that bonds tile to your surface. The right mortar depends on your tile type and substrate — we'll spec this out when we build your quote.

TRIM caps the edges where tile meets walls, transitions, or corners. It creates a clean, professional finish and protects tile edges from chipping. Most of our vendors offer matching trim for their tile lines.

SEALER protects porous tile and grout from staining. If you're using natural stone, unsealed grout, or tile in a high-use area, a sealer is worth it. Think of it as insurance for your investment.
