Consult First
Large commercial projects, flooring over severely damaged subfloors that may require structural repair, or projects in homes with significant moisture issues should be evaluated first. An in-home consultation will identify any preparatory work needed.
Choosing the Right Flooring for Your Space
Different flooring materials suit different needs. Carpet offers warmth and comfort, ideal for bedrooms and living areas. Hardwood provides timeless elegance and durability for high-traffic areas. Laminate offers the look of hardwood at a more budget-friendly price point.
Vinyl and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are water-resistant options perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Tile flooring is highly durable and water-resistant, making it ideal for bathrooms, entryways, and kitchens. Consider your lifestyle, budget, and the room's function when selecting flooring.
What to Expect During Installation
Professional flooring installation begins with proper measurement and site preparation. Installers will remove existing flooring if needed, inspect and prepare the subfloor, and ensure the surface is level and clean. Proper preparation is critical for long-lasting results.
Installation timelines vary by flooring type and room size. Carpet can often be installed in one day, while hardwood may require acclimation time before installation. Your Lowe's installer will provide a detailed timeline and keep your space as clean and organized as possible throughout the process.
Maintaining Your New Floors
Proper maintenance extends the life and beauty of your flooring. Carpets benefit from regular vacuuming and professional cleaning every 12-18 months. Hardwood floors should be swept regularly and cleaned with manufacturer-approved products, avoiding excessive water.
Laminate and vinyl require minimal maintenance—regular sweeping and damp mopping keep them looking great. Tile floors should be swept frequently and mopped with appropriate cleaners, with periodic grout sealing to prevent staining. Your installer can provide specific care recommendations for your flooring type.
