Our flooring consultations typically take one to two hours, but we’ll stay as long as you need. We customize and tailor each consultation to our clients’ needs and schedules.

While many flooring stores charge for in-home consultations, ours are free. During your consultation appointment, we’ll provide you with all of the information needed to make the best flooring decision for your home.

During your consultation, a flooring expert will walk you through a full needs analysis so you can learn more about our services. They’ll then complete the following steps:

• Recommendations: We’ll recommend specific flooring types based on your needs, preferences, lifestyle and goals.
• Samples: We’ll show you different flooring samples based on factors like your budget, subfloor and style. You’ll get to feel each piece and see how it looks with your decor and lighting.
• Measurements: Each consultation includes free floor measurements for an accurate estimate.
• Quote: We’ll provide a full job quote with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.

When preparing for installation, you don’t have to clear the entire room. However, it helps to remove as much as possible to speed up installation. This process includes:

• Moving your belongings to a temporary storage area, such as another room in your home.
• Clearing the floor as much as possible.
• Stripping the walls to preserve your decor.
• Emptying closets, cabinets and cupboards.
• Keeping children and pets away from the installation area.

In most cases, we can install flooring in a day. All installations are performed by vetted professionals devoted to providing a quick, hassle-free experience.

Our experts provide full-service installation, including:

• Removing old flooring and furniture from the space.
• Examining subfloors.
• Installing new flooring.
• Cleaning up and putting furniture back after the job is complete.

Solid hardwood is genuine wood all the way through, and engineered hardwood contains authentic wood layers compressed on high-grade plywood. Solid hardwood provides more longevity and value, while engineered hardwood offers more humidity and moisture resistance.

Wood species like oak and cherry tend to be the most durable flooring options. Their hardness levels allow the wood to maintain shape and resist scratching over time.

During your consultation, we’ll provide material, color and finishing recommendations based on your lifestyle, preferences and budget. As a result, you can make an informed decision about the colors and finishes that will look best in your home and align with your daily activities.

You can choose from ceramic or porcelain tiles at 50 Floor. Both are strong options that can mimic many materials, but porcelain is usually more durable, and ceramic is more affordable.

Simply vacuum or brush away any dust or crumbs to keep your tile flooring clean. You can use a damp mop for deeper cleaning. Be sure to check your flooring warranty for proper cleaning materials and methods — this goes for any flooring type.

High-quality, professionally installed tiles generally last 30 years and sometimes even decades longer.

While laminate contains some natural wood in a fiberboard core, vinyl uses a synthetic plastic polymer. Both are affordable, attractive and durable options. However, vinyl offers more moisture resistance, while laminate provides a more authentic look and value.

Laminate often provides more wear resistance in high-traffic areas than hardwood. Its higher ultraviolet protection also makes it ideal for sunny or window-filled rooms.

Laminate is highly durable and scratch-resistant, making it a great choice for homes with pets. It’s also stain-resistant in case of muddy paws or accidents.

You can choose from the following carpet styles at 50 Floor:

• Berber: Berber carpet has a looped, tightly woven design, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Frieze: Frieze carpet has curly, twisted fibers for a shaggy, relaxed look.
• Pattern: Pattern carpet features varying heights of cut fibers and loops to form a design.
• Plush: Plush carpet is soft and luxurious. It has a smooth, level surface for easy vacuuming.
• Smooth Saxony: Smooth Saxony carpet has a low, even pile cut for a leveled look and velvety feel.

Nylon carpets with short loops typically have the longest life spans. They’re also durable and stain-resistant, making them great for homes with kids and pets. Applying stain protection can help your carpet last longer.

Wool is one of the softest materials, offering a plush texture and ample underfoot comfort.

When professionally installed and correctly maintained, luxury vinyl flooring can last 20 years or more.

Regularly vacuum up debris and dirt to keep your luxury vinyl looking mint. Use a damp mop occasionally to get rid of lingering spills or dust.

The key difference lies in shape. Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) provide a tiled floor look, while luxury vinyl planks (LVP) offer a hardwood plank appearance.
