Putting in a new floor is one of the best things you can do for your Niagara Region home. It will make it look better and increase its resale value. But if you make these common mistakes when changing your flooring, a beautiful vision can quickly turn into a costly nightmare:

Three Common Mistakes When Choosing Flooring

Not paying attention to the subfloor: This is the most common mistake. A lot of people who live in Niagara don’t pay attention to problems with moisture or an uneven foundation. If the subfloor isn’t perfectly level, dry, and structurally sound first, a beautiful new floor will quickly warp, buckle, or squeak. The main reason floors fail is because people don’t do this important prep work.

Choosing style over function (especially near the lake): 

The humid climate in Niagara needs to be taken into account. Installing solid hardwood in basements or places with a lot of moisture, like bathrooms, is very risky. Always choose high-quality Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or tile that can stand up to water or humidity for areas that are likely to get wet.

If you don’t acclimate and hire a professional to install your new flooring, it will need to sit in your home for a few days to get used to the temperature and humidity. If you don’t acclimate the material properly and have it installed by a professional, you could end up with gaps, warping, and early wear, which would void your warranty. Even high-quality materials can break if they aren’t handled correctly.
