Choosing the right hard surface flooring for your home — wood, laminate, 
or vinyl.

When choosing between hardwood, vinyl, or laminate, its best to focus on your needs, lifestyle, and long-term plan for the space.

Hardwood floors are the best investment, long term, and will add to the value of your home. It is also the most luxurious option, as nothing is more natural (looking and to the touch), then the real thing. Only hardwood can be refinished after several years and be restored to look like new. Hardwood is quiet, warm underfoot and provides the most solid structural flooring option.

Vinyl and laminate can be thought of as the same “hybrid” category option. Both are great for active households with busy families and larger pets. Laminate is the most scratch resistant, and can easily handle the largest dogs running through the house. Luxury vinyl is the most moisture resistant and good for topical moisture from spills, accidents, that may not be cleaned quickly. Generally speaking, hybrid floors are also more affordable and ideal for a budget conscious purchase.
