Flooring Pictures

I love when customers install flooring that I think looks wonderful in samples.  I also love when it looks better than I wold have predicted when the flooring is actually installed.
These customers purchased this home and gave it a overhaul before they moved in.  I think that what they did was wonderful to update their home.

It is really hard to tell in these pictures but the color of the laminate is a grey color, as you can tell below in the picture of the sample that I took close up. This is another reason that you need to look at samples of the flooring that you are looking at in your daylight and the night light because the flooring can change colors.

I hope these pictures are helpful in your search for flooring or for your viewing pleasure.

New Flooring in a crunch!

One of our amazing customers was caught off guard with how fast her home sold and needed to be installed ASAP! We have a few rolls in stock here so she picked something that she liked.








 Carpet is a Grey tone-on-tone ( I know sometimes it can be hard to tell in the pictures)

These are just a few pictures of the job installed and ready for them to move into their new home.

That is the nice thing about being able to have a large inventory of in stock carpet. 

Beautiful flooring

There was a new install and of course we want to show you everything that we do... so here are some photos of the new LVT/ Wood plank flooring.

These are all a work in progress.  The prep on this floor is very important.

All the same floor at different points of progress.  Works well with water/ humidity.  Granted nobody wants a soggy floor and that isnt ideal, all that I am saying is that the floor can handle it with out warping. 

The finished product. Different camera, different lighting. The floor looks amazing to me.  The character in the pieces really bring a unique look and a rustic appeal. LOVE IT!

A little moreT... on a DIAMOND!

In the hopes of not forever repeating myself I would like to just take a few moments to stress on preparing your floor.  I can only relate it to preparing your walls for paint, there are few people who actually enjoy doing it but it is a necessity to make your paint last or in this case your flooring.

Hard surface needs a perfect floor (for the most part but we wont go into that right now) it contours to every bump, crack, etc. This is because there isn't a padding or a forgiveness layer to make spots that may seem small a bigger problem.  (< I may have to post something about that!)

When installing this floor, we had to spread a patch over the wood so that all the spots that were low would be filled in and the high spots would be noticed and taken care of.

Also we installed the baseboards under the LVT. 

(Usually with hard surface you install the flooring under the baseboards.  It can be done other ways but this way is how we prefer to do it.)

 We did the same to the entry way.

 After allowing the patch to dry, we started the install. The angle that the flooring is put is for the carpet that will be installed and it gives it a pleasant flow and not an abrupt stop.  

 As we installed we taped.  This was a large area and we did not want to have to worry about anything slipping while we were working.

We also used a roller to make sure that all parts of the LVT were in contact with the adhesive. 

This is the floor primarily finished.  Still needing to get back to see what the flooring looks like with the carpet.  But notice that we did not grout and we did the LVT on a diamond.

Frequent Flyers

This is selfish of me to say but I LOVE (and hate) when my sister moves ( she moves alot). Recently they have been buying homes, living in them awhile.  As they live in them they fix them up. Painting fixing stuff blah blah blah... ( to the good stuff) they replace their flooring.  The last house I got to pick out the flooring and I really enjoyed it.  Not only does it take out of the huge inventory that we have, but it gives me a little bit to pick something fun, affordable, functional, and I get feedback of what they think.  The last home they had they wanted a longer carpet, it was in and a comfortable look.  After living in that house for about a year they realised that with their life style it was something that they liked but not as much as they thought they would.  Now that they built a new home, I got to pick out the carpet again! I must admit that I like the challenge.  She gives me her criteria and I give her some options finally coming up with the final look.  

The front room... a few times

I will get some more pictures so that you can see these better. 

Beaulieu Style:Showcase  Color:Highlights

Side note... My sister is married and they have a dog.  This carpet is a new magic fresh carpet with a special treatment that they use so that your carpet doesn't smell like anything but carpet ( in this case dog).  Also this carpet is a solution dyed carpet meaning that if you (heavens forbid) spill bleach on your carpet it will retain its color, but the bleach can eat the backing.  Living active life's, maintaining carpet isn't a top priority for most people.  But don't forget that your carpet loves to be vacuumed and maintained.  No carpet is indestructible.

New House New Look

The cutest family came in to our shop looking for some carpet ( weird I know).  They had just purchased this house and were putting a fresh look into it, making it their own. As they were looking around checking carpets listening to us rant about our vast knowledge on carpet we found a piece that they liked. When we went to measure the home we laughed a little bit because we had installed the carpet in the master bedroom when the previous owners had lived there ( such a small world).  The carpet was ordered and installed so this cute family could move into their new home.  Although after it was installed, I loved the carpet so much I had to go look at the job my self and get some pictures to share.  The sad news is I am going to have to invest in a better camera then the one in my phone so I can get better pictures to show off all of the jobs that we sell and the amazing job that our installers do.

Stairway, wood edges and the installers always tailor the stairs to give them a crisp finished look.

(I will have to do a post telling you guys the difference in the ways to install the carpet on the stairs.)
