Existing Flooring Replacement Complete in Calgary, Alberta

A homeowner in Calgary faced significant issues after hiring an unqualified contractor who not only delivered poor workmanship but also failed to complete the job as commissioned.

While the homeowner was away, our team carefully navigated around the house's contents to remove the damaged flooring. Upon their return, they were delighted to find a newly installed luxury vinyl flooring, which they continue to praise.

Pros and Cons of Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Pros:

1. Durability: Luxury vinyl flooring is highly resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas.

2. Water Resistance: It is waterproof, which makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

3. Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean and maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping.

4. Comfort: Softer underfoot compared to tile and wood, providing a more comfortable surface to walk on.

5. Affordability: Generally more cost-effective than traditional hardwood or tile flooring, while still providing a high-end look.

Cons:

1. Potential for Fading: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the vinyl to fade over time.

2. Not as Luxurious: While it mimics the look of hardwood or stone, it doesn’t have the same authentic feel.

3. Subfloor Preparation: Requires a smooth, clean subfloor for installation to prevent imperfections from showing through.

Overall, the installation of luxury vinyl flooring provided a durable, attractive, and cost-effective solution for the homeowner, transforming their living space and alleviating their previous concerns with the old flooring.
