LVP or Hardwood?

/

When renovating or building a home it can be difficult to decide what type of flooring to choose. In today’s market there are tons of options and it can be hard to figure out which one is right for you. One thing to take into consideration is the ongoing wood shortages driving up hardwood prices. With hardwood flooring being on the more expensive side, some may opt to go with LVP instead. LVP and hardwood both have benefits and drawbacks, so we created a chart to help you determine what best fits your needs!

Trending Hardwood Species For Kitchen Floors

/

Hardwood floors have always been a popular choice for kitchens, but there are so many different species and stains it can be hard to make a decision. Oak is a popular choice because of how versatile it can be. It takes a stain well and looks beautiful on its own, which is great for homeowners wanting to create a “raw” or natural wood look. Another popular choice right now is cherry, with its warm reddish brown tones it can create a very cozy kitchen. Cherry is also another species that takes a stain well and can be used to create some flattering ebony hardwood floors. Both of these species are incredibly versatile and can be used to create some truly unique kitchens.



Wood Shortages & The Flooring Industry

/

It’s not news that there’s been a lumber shortage since the start of the pandemic, but how is it really impacting the flooring industry and costs? Lumber prices are currently up over 300%, costing an all time high of $1,459 per board foot. These price hikes are causing steep increases across the building and home improvement industries, forcing many builders to put their projects on hold or search for alternative materials. One of the contributing causes to the shortage of lumber was the large number of DIYer’s at the start of the pandemic buying up lumber for home improvement projects. While lumber production is now above pre-pandemic levels, the number of people remodeling and working on home improvement projects is higher than ever. Unfortunately, using real hardwoods is expensive right now, however there are a number of convincing faux wood substitutes, like LVP, to choose from. If you have existing hardwood floors, you’ll definitely want to keep them for years to come to add more value to your home.

We noticed a big valley and decided to fill it in with sika 825 leveler. Although it added an additional day to the job with dry time, we believe the end product will be much more satisfying.

Our teams goal is to find the best solution to customers problems. Time, costs, and quality are the big three to balance when an issue arises. For instance, if time is an issue, a customer will likely need to pay more, and the quality will suffer slightly. Or if quality is the biggest thing, if they really want to fix the issue, cost and time will increase.

Most importantly, a person that can solve customer’s issues, without the customers feeling the stress of it, will become very valuable.

What Do “Lace-In” & “Header” Mean?

/

Sometimes a flooring installer may opt to do what is called a “lace in”, this is where a new wood floor is joined together with an existing wood floor to create a transition. A good time to use this technique is when extending an existing wood floor into a new area, or if you were replacing carpet with hardwood to match existing hardwood floors in your home. A “header” is related, it is the final piece of wood installed before a transition to another type of flooring, such as stone or tile. Knowing the terminology can save you a lot of time explaining what it is you’re envisioning when talking to a designer or contractor. There are also a number of other types of transitions as well, leaving room for endless design possibilities.
