4 Questions to Ask Before Getting New Flooring

Picking the right flooring can make a major difference in your home’s aesthetics and appeal. But with all of the choices available, what are the parameters to narrow down your choices? Today, experts from the area’s leading home remodeling contractor, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, share four questions you should ask yourself before getting new flooring materials.

What Is My Budget?

Installing new flooring is a long-term investment that impacts your home for years to come. It’s in your best interest to budget generously for your flooring project. Once you’ve set a budget aside, visit a local flooring supplier and see what they have to offer. With your budget set, they can help you choose from their recommended options. Remember: flooring is a long-term investment, so paying for a high-quality floor ensures that you’ll get your money’s worth in time.

How Will My Floor Affect My Home’s Style?

You have to pick a flooring material that is coherent with your home’s style, but this doesn’t mean you can’t be adventurous and stay with just one type of flooring. You can use a different texture, depending on the room that it’s used in. Interior remodeling experts recommend choosing neutral colors that coordinate with any tyle, whether it’s a modern or a contemporary home. To spruce up your space, you can add a bright rug or decorative pieces to serve as a focal point for the room.

How Much Maintenance Does It Need?

Each component of your home requires some level of maintenance, and your flooring is no exception. If you plan on adding carpet, it probably will need to be cleaned by a professional at least once a year. Aside from sweeping and polishing, normal hardwood floors can be refinished every two to three years. If your home has high foot traffic, you can opt for low-maintenance flooring materials such as laminate.

Do I Need Professional Help?

We strongly advise against DIY flooring installation, especially if you lack the proper training, experience and equipment to do the job properly. Installation mistakes will compromise your warranty and could lead to costly replacement or repair costs in the long run. To ensure that your flooring is installed properly, hire an experienced contractor from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park for your next remodeling project.
