Laminate flooring might be the most misunderstood floor in the showroom. Plenty of Madison homeowners walk in carrying a fifteen-year-old impression of laminate: hollow-sounding, plasticky, the floor you settle for. Then they see what today’s laminate flooring actually looks like, and the conversation changes fast. This guide is for anyone considering laminate for a main…
Tile flooring is the most durable surface you can put in a home, and in a Wisconsin climate that throws snow, slush, salt, and humidity at your floors for half the year, durability is not a small thing. Yet tile is also the category Madison homeowners have the most questions about. Porcelain or ceramic? Is…
A bathroom floor works harder than almost any other surface in your home. Steam from the morning shower, splashes from the tub, wet feet, dropped towels, and in Wisconsin, the occasional draft of January air under the door. If you’re planning a remodel in Madison, WI, choosing the right bathroom flooring is the decision that…
