You need to think about a few basic needs before beginning to shop for new flooring, and this checklist will help make it a hassle-free process. Here are the main questions you should ask yourself.

How big are my rooms?
Many people are not sure just how many square feet make up their rooms, but it’s easy to do. Just multiply the length number by the width (example: 12 feet times 20 feet equals 240 square feet) and you’re there! Don’t worry about nooks and crannies for now.

Better yet, House of Carpets will come out and do it for you, at no charge.

What is this area used for?
Are the rooms used every day or just occasionally; different factors will need to be considered for each. Are things going to be changing? Quality flooring lasts for years, so think about whether the kids will be off to college or married, leaving you with an empty nest. Some flooring options can help you optimize your usage for now and then, too.

House of Carpets will discuss the different properties of flooring options with you, right in your own home.

How important is appearance?
Do you entertain friends or have relatives call? That might have a lot to do with the flooring you choose. Our consultants will offer advice at no cost about how you can create a showplace within your home, yet have it blend in naturally.

How much use will this area get? How much maintenance will it require?
What about kids, pets or heavy traffic? There’s a lot to know about all of today’s expanding varieties of traditional and new flooring options, including wood-like laminates that look great and wear like iron. Acoustic, or sound absorbing properties are another factor that is often overlooked.

Do I want to add value to my home?
