Plush, patterned and stain-resistant carpet, usually installed in about a day.
Carpet wrapped cleanly over treads, noses and landings. A true specialty.
Waterproof and pet-friendly, ideal for kitchens, baths and basements.
The look of wood with a tough, scratch-resistant surface.
Solid and engineered hardwood, plus stair treads and trim.
Porcelain and ceramic floors set on proven Schluter and LATICRETE systems.
The same advice Mike gives at your kitchen table, including a few places we’ll talk you out of a floor.
Laminate is the most scratch-resistant traditional floor we sell, and Mohawk PureTech is waterproof and backed by Mohawk’s pet scratch warranty. A quality pile carpet with good stain resistance works well too, but skip berber: claws catch its loops. Tile is the most durable of all. Most people ask for LVP, and while it’s waterproof, it doesn’t handle claws quite as well as laminate.
Below grade, it’s LVP, Mohawk PureTech or carpet. LVP is incredibly stable and waterproof, perfect for a dry basement where you want a hard floor. PureTech is a waterproof, PVC-free floor with a plant-based core, and we install a lot of it in basements.
But concrete needs to breathe. Moisture comes up through the slab and evaporates, and a vinyl floor on top traps it, which can damage the slab and grow mold where you can’t see it. The test is simple: tape a 1-foot square of plastic to the concrete and check it a day later. Dry underneath? LVP is a great choice. Wet? Go with carpet, and find out where the water is coming from.
We steer people away from floating floors like LVP and laminate in bathrooms. They’re waterproof on top, but if a small leak gets underneath, the water can’t evaporate. It just sits and rots the subfloor. Tile is the best choice, and sheet vinyl is a solid option on a budget.
If you want real wood but not traditional hardwood, or you’re after more exotic colors and wider planks, we love Kährs and its Wide Canvas collection. It’s a real wood plank that installs as a click floor or with glue assist, and it’s amazing on the main floor of a home.
Carpet isn’t just for budgets. Our favorite pattern right now is Mohawk Random Nature II. It has the textured look of berber, but it’s mostly a pile carpet, so it works in homes with pets where a true berber wouldn’t.
Hard floors like LVP need a very flat subfloor, within about 1/8 of an inch over 10 feet. If yours isn’t, prep can double the expected price of the project. Carpet is far more forgiving and can cut that price in half. We measure and check flatness before you decide.
| Floor | Water | Scratches & Pets | Comfort | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpet | Not for wet areas | Quality pile resists wear and stains; skip berber with pets | Softest and warmest | $ | Bedrooms, family rooms, stairs, basements |
| Luxury vinyl plank | Waterproof | Good, but not as tough as laminate | Firm, warmer than tile | $$ | Kitchens, living areas, dry basements |
| Mohawk PureTech | Waterproof | Very scratch-resistant, pet scratch warranty | Firm | $$ | Basements, kitchens, homes with dogs |
| Laminate | Traditional laminate: not for basements or baths | Most scratch-resistant | Firm | $$ | Homes with dogs, living areas above grade |
| Hardwood & real wood | Not for basements or baths | Can scratch and dent | Warm and classic | $$$ | Main floors and bedrooms above grade |
| Tile | Waterproof | Most durable | Hard and cool (heated floors help) | $$$ | Bathrooms, kitchens, entries, dogs |

Many people are surprised by this. Hard floors like LVP, hardwood and tile need a flat, well-prepared subfloor, and that prep adds cost. Carpet is far more forgiving, and it can come in at about half the price of LVP.
“Mike installed new carpet and kitchen flooring in my home a few years ago and did a fantastic job. He recently came by to fix the carpet after an unfortunate incident with my dog. The carpet matches perfectly and you’d never know there was ever a tear. Great work and very professional. 10/10!!!”
