Can anything compare to hardwood floors? The timeless beauty of the wooden planks that are each irrefutably unique? We aren't going to sit here and tell you that they're easy to substitute with anything else, but there is a contender in the ring. Thanks to modern technology, vinyl plank flooring is making a real name for itself in the home improvement world. Once considered to be a cheap and unrealistic representation of the hardwood floors we love, vinyl is now proving itsel

Boo! WE'VE MADE IT TO HALLOWEEN! What a month it has been too! Floor It has been working hard to get everyone's houses ready for the upcoming festivities, and have loved every moment. How could we not when our customers are so fantastic? *wink, wink* But tonight gives us an opportunity to stop thinking about work for a few hours and step into a new role. Tonight, like so many others, we will put on our favorite costumes and celebrate all that has taken place in October. As fo

Well, friends, it's that time of year again where we say so long to September and welcome the start of fall and the holiday season. We're not just talking Christmas. There's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Veterans day...Columbus day even! Holidays typically mean guests, and guests mean scrambling to make your house shine. You can expect all eyes to be on your home no matter what kind of shape it's in. So, in an effort to save you from having to listen to 45 minutes of Nan

Brrr! If you’ve stepped outside today, you can tell that fall is readying itself to push summer aside. Funny thing about cooler weather; as jackets and sweaters start to come out, people and pets start to head in. Gone are the sweet days of long hours in the sun for this year. While this inevitable change has it’s benefits (a.k.a pumpkin spice everything), it comes with some downsides for your floor. The more time folks spend indoors, the more time they have to notice little

Is it really Thursday already? How time does fly when you’re installing floors! Guess that means it’s time for some tips. Since custom showers have been on our minds this week (click here to see Tuesday’s blog for some info on our favorite type of shower), we’re going to address waterproofing. More specifically, what you need to consider when you’re ready to go about waterproofing your new shower. As we’ve mentioned in previous blogs (check it out here!), waterproofing is a

Man cave. She-cove. Blanket fort. If you’re like most people who have to share a living space with others, you have at some point entertained the thought of a personal safe-haven designated for you and you alone in your household. A spot designed to your liking to rest and just be for a few precious moments. It doesn’t matter how old you are or how extroverted, we all need a little personal space. For most of us, however, the reality of ever having a room like this is a stret

Raise your hand if you, at any point in your childhood, were genuinely frightened at the prospect of breaking your poor mother’s spinal column if you stepped on a crack in the sidewalk. It’s okay, you can be honest. After all, we can’t actually see you. While that particular fear may have been a bit irrational, there are a few other things that make finding a crack in your floor scary. When a tile separates the outcome is unsightly to say the least, but it could also lower yo

Spring has sprung, and I think it's safe to say that we are all in the need of some sunshine, and something refreshing. There's nothing more satisfying than organizing and decluttering your space to get it ready for the summer. However, if you've finished your spring cleaning, but still don't feel satisfied, maybe you should revive your space with new flooring, like ceramic tiles! Ceramic tiles are very popular in homes whether they are in showers, on bathroom floors, in entr

1. Take Off Your Shoes In the winter months, people tracking snow and sludge inside can contribute to many different issues for hardwood floors. Salt leaves dirty, white residue. Water from melted snow can seep into the flooring, and create damage that lasts. Not only do shoes track in the outdoor elements, they can also cause scuffs and scratches throughout the surface of the floors. So, try to remind visitors to remove their shoes at the door. 2. Keep the Floors Clean If de
