What Are The Biggest Mistakes Homeowners Make When Choosing Flooring?
Making the wrong flooring choice can cost you thousands in wasted money and countless hours of frustration. Just ask the homeowner who thought she was saving $4,000 by choosing a cheaper contractor, only to end up spending double when the installation failed catastrophically three months later.
Hunter Ross, owner of Wood Floors of Dallas and veteran of over 20 years in the industry, shares eye-opening insights about the most common pitfalls homeowners face when selecting and installing new flooring. The episode tackles the information paradox many face – either becoming overwhelmed with conflicting research or not knowing enough to make informed decisions. Hunter emphasizes the critical importance of finding a trustworthy flooring specialist who provides honest guidance tailored to your specific needs.
The conversation dives deep into technical considerations that many overlook, including proper subfloor preparation, moisture protection, and how changing floor types affects everything from door clearances to baseboards. Hunter explains why "level" floors don't exist (though "flat" floors are essential), why hardwood doesn't belong in bathrooms, and how choosing the right material for homes with pets can save significant heartache down the road. Most importantly, he reveals why accountability matters – and why established flooring stores offer protections that independent contractors often cannot.
Whether you're planning a renovation soon or just want to understand what makes for a successful flooring project, this episode provides invaluable wisdom that could potentially save you thousands of dollars and prevent costly mistakes.
