Here at Complete Flooring Works, we’ve put together this quick guide to help you make an informed decision.

Hardwood

• Hardwood floors, when installed right, can last for generations upon generations. All you have to do to make them look like new again is contact us about refinishing them!
• Homebuyers love hardwood floors, so if you want to drastically boost your home’s value, go with hardwood.
• Compared with other types of flooring, hardwood is on the higher end of the price spectrum.

Laminate

• Laminate is made of pressed wood, so it resists scratches, moisture, and general wear and tear. This makes it a great option if you have small kids or pets!
• Cleaning laminate flooring is a breeze – all you have to do is sweep and wipe it down with a damp mop.
• While laminate flooring has come a long way in recent years, it doesn’t last quite as long as other types of flooring, like hardwood or luxury vinyl.

Luxury Vinyl

• One of the best parts about luxury vinyl flooring is its price, especially since it can mimic other types of flooring, like hardwood.
• Luxury vinyl flooring comes in many types of looks, from hardwood to engineered stone.
• Even though it has impressive durability, luxury vinyl tile can’t be refurbished or sanded down when it wears out.
