Frequently asked in Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

For value in Boston, consider durable vinyl plank or laminate. These options offer excellent resilience for busy households and can mimic the look of wood or stone without the higher cost. Pros can assess your specific needs and recommend the best fit for your budget and lifestyle in the city.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' in flooring often refers to a common installation guideline: the longest plank should not exceed one-third the width of the room to prevent buckling or warping. This is especially important in older Boston homes with fluctuating humidity. Pros will ensure proper installation based on these principles.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Both vinyl plank and laminate are popular choices in Boston. Vinyl plank offers superior water resistance, making it ideal for kitchens and basements. Laminate is often more budget-friendly and can offer a realistic wood look. A pro can help you decide based on your Boston home's specific areas.

What type of flooring is most popular now in Boston?

Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are very popular in Boston homes. LVP's durability and water resistance are a hit, while engineered hardwood offers the classic look many Bostonians love. Pros can show you the latest trends and styles.
