From home cinemas to bedrooms to a new kitchen, selecting the right flooring is the first and most crucial step in remodeling. It’s important to understand what are the best flooring options available. You need to find the right floors that will look great, even after many years of use. Floors that are highly-desired will make your home more attractive and also add value to your property. Updated floors remove grime and moisture trapped under your existing flooring, promoting healthier air quality for you and your family. In addition, selecting energy efficient floors keeps you cool during the summer and warm during winter. This reduces the strain on you A/C—saving you on monthly energy bills. Beyond all these benefits, updated flooring in your home can instill a feeling of rejuvenation, leading to improved psychological well-being. With the guidance of the home improvement specialists at PoweredByPros, you will find new flooring material that will be durable and long-lasting, but still fit your lifestyle and budget.
Dirty shoes, dropped plates, scratches from furniture, and pet claws—the floors in your home inevitably take a beating. It’s only a matter of time before they need to be replaced. With that being said, every flooring and home is different. If your floors take more of a beating than others, or if you live in a moisture prone area, then the longevity of your floors’ life may be shortened. Thanks to our many years of experience, we know when it is time to replace the different types of flooring. This list will provide you with a rough estimation as to when you should replace your flooring:
Overtime, cleaning just doesn’t do the job. Stubborn stains, rips, and lingering odors means it is time to install new carpets. Typically, carpet needs replacement every 8-10 years.
Peeling, peaking (sticking up where floorboards meet), and gaps in the floor are signs of deterioration. Water damage can quickly weaken adhesive floor binding, requiring replacement. Laminate/Vinyl needs to be replaced every 10-15 years.
Although tile theoretically lasts a lifetime, designs can go out of style overtime. Eventually, the integrity of the material will degrade creating a tile section vulnerable to cracks. We suggest replacing your tile every 20-30 years.
Solid hardwood, like tile, can last a very long time. Extreme movements underneath your feet or sloping floors are often signs you may need replacement. Hardwood floors usually need to be replaced every 20-25 years.
Each home and room is different. You need to consider the function of each area of your house before finding a desired style or color scheme. What is the purpose of the room? Putting hard tile in grandma’s room is a fall-hazard. Meanwhile, carpet in a basement may seem like a good idea because carpets traps heat, but in reality basements are highly susceptible to moisture since they are lower than ground-level. Damp, wet carpet could lead to mildew and mold. Ultimately, choosing the right floor that suits the function of your room and living space is more important than costs. Picking the wrong flooring choice could mean that you will need to quickly replace, and your flooring investment will be ruined.
