Tips for Choosing the Right Flooring

There are so many types of flooring, applications, colors, and designs—it can be challenging to choose the right flooring for your home. Some of the essential factors for choosing the right flooring are your budget, decor, and the areas for installation. Depending on where you are having new floors installed, features like durability or moisture resistance may be at the top of the list. You should consider the amount of foot traffic, sunlight, and other factors that affect longevity.

Porcelain tile, for example, is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and entryways. The scratch-resistant and highly durable flooring option is hard to beat for high-traffic applications. While hardwood floors require more maintenance than other options, the natural beauty can be well worth it for living rooms, entryways, and bedrooms. If you need help selecting the best flooring for your home, book a consultation, and we'll cover all the bases.

Floor Service FAQs

For over 25 years Mr. Handyman professionals have been helping homeowners repair, maintain, and enhance their space. We are a one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list. This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about floor installation and repair services.

What types of flooring materials can be installed by professionals?

Flooring installation offers several options for materials. Hardwood flooring adds warmth and value to your home, while laminate is durable and budget-friendly. Tile is a popular choice in bathrooms and kitchens due to its water resistance. For a soft, cozy feel, carpet is a great option, and vinyl offers a stylish, easy-to-clean surface at a lower cost. A professional should have no problem installing any of these flooring materials in the area of your choice.

How long does it typically take to install new flooring?

The time it takes to install new flooring depends on the material and size of the space. For experienced flooring and tile installers, smaller rooms using materials like laminate or vinyl may only take a day or two. Hardwood flooring can take longer, especially if sanding and finishing are involved, but typically takes one to three days. Tile installation also requires more time due to the need for precise placement and grout setting. On average, most flooring projects can be completed within a few days to a week.

How can I maintain my hardwood floors to prevent frequent repairs?

To keep your floors looking great and minimize the need for hardwood floor repairs, a little regular care goes a long way! Sweep or vacuum often to remove dirt that can scratch the surface, and use a damp (not wet) mop for gentle cleaning. Placing rugs in high-traffic areas can also help reduce wear. Avoid dragging furniture across floors, and consider putting felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratches.

Can damaged floors always be repaired, or do they sometimes need replacement?

Whether damaged floors can be repaired or need to be replaced depends on the type and extent of the damage. Minor issues like scratches, small dents, or squeaky boards, can often be fixed with simple solutions, like filling scratches or learning how to repair squeaky floors. However, if there’s extensive water damage, deep cracks, or large areas of warping, replacement might be the best option to ensure your floors look good and remain durable. 

Are there eco-friendly flooring options available?

Bamboo is a popular choice for eco-friendly flooring because it’s sustainable, grows back quickly, and is both durable and visually appealing. Cork is another eco-friendly option; it is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, which can regenerate, making it a renewable resource. Reclaimed wood is also an excellent way to get a hardwood look while recycling materials. And if you already have hardwood floors, you can repair scratches on your hardwood floor rather than replace it. This approach is eco-friendly and helps keep your floors looking new!

What are common causes of floor damage that might require repair?

One common culprit of floor damage is moisture. Spills, leaks, and high humidity can lead to warping, staining, and mold, particularly on hardwood. Scratches are another source of damage, often caused by moving furniture or pet claws, leaving your floors looking worn. Over time, heavy foot traffic can also cause wear, especially in high-traffic areas. Additionally, sun exposure can fade some kinds of flooring. When floors begin to look worn, a floor refinishing service can help restore their shine and address many types of minor damage.

How do I know if my subfloor needs repair before installing new flooring?

Before starting a flooring installation, it’s important to check if your subfloor needs any repairs. Signs to look for include creaking or uneven spots, which could mean the subfloor has weak areas. If you notice any sagging or soft spots, especially around high-traffic areas, that could indicate damage from moisture or wear over time. Water stains or a musty smell can also be signs of underlying water damage.
