Frequently asked in Rochester

What is the best flooring for the money?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

The '1-3 rule' often refers to installation guidelines. It generally means leaving a 1-inch expansion gap around the perimeter of your room for most flooring types. For hardwood, a 3-inch gap might be specified depending on the wood and installation method. Proper expansion prevents damage. Talk to the pros about your specific project.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is typically more water-resistant, making it a smart choice for kitchens and bathrooms in Rochester homes. Laminate can offer better scratch resistance but is vulnerable to moisture. Both are popular for their affordability and appearance. We can help you weigh the pros and cons.
