Planning for new flooring is no different than planning for any other type of home renovation. One of the first things you need to take into account is your available budget for this project. The truth is, updating your flooring is an investment that will enhance aesthetics and functionality. Careful consideration of a number of factors will help ensure you get the best value for your money with your flooring budget.
Set a Realistic Budget
Consider the size of the space, the type of flooring you want, and any additional costs for installation or preparation in order to determine how much you’re willing to spend. Figure in potential long-term costs, and this is quite important – the least expensive option might not be the most budget-conscious in the long run if the flooring needs to be replaced in a few years. Maintenance, repairs, and warranties should all be details you figured in. Investing in higher-quality flooring materials that offer durability and longevity can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.
Additionally, it’s important to be aware there may be unforeseen expenses. When you work with Flohr we do everything we can to avoid any extra costs so that any extra room in your budget isn’t used and becomes part of your vacation fund. But that being said, we never know the status of the subfloor until we remove your current floor and sometimes it needs some repairs.
Know Your Flooring Options
We have great news – there are plenty of different flooring options for every style and budget. We can help you find the right combination for your home and help you understand the differences and their respective costs. Compare options such as hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and carpet to find the best fit for your budget and lifestyle. If you love the look of natural hardwood but need to keep your budget lower LVP (luxury vinyl planks) can give you the right aesthetic at the right price. You can also use porcelain tile that is designed to look like either wood or stone.
Timeless materials and designs are the most budget friendly as they aren’t likely to seem dated or go out of style quickly. Neutral colors, classic patterns, and versatile styles can ensure that your flooring investment remains relevant and attractive for years to come.
