Budget: Knowing your budget before looking at flooring samples will help you stay within your price range, eliminating the stress of too many options.
Lifestyle: For busy living areas, consider flooring options that are durable and long-lasting, resistant to scratches, and can withstand temperature and humidity changes.
Lighting: Lighter floors make a room feel spacious and bright, while darker materials add warmth. Consider the size of the room and the amount of sunlight in it.
Moisture: Choosing the right flooring will prevent moisture problems, such as cupping, crowning, warping, and gaps.
Your installation plan: Knowing information about your existing floor's surfaces will give you a more accurate quote for materials and labor, and a better idea of what to expect during installation.
