All flooring can work for all people, said Foo Shunnarah at Homewood Carpet & Flooring. It just depends on what you want.
Shunnarah has spent the past 15 years consulting with clients and finding the perfect flooring for every situation.
A great way to upgrade any space — especially if you have children or if your space is prone to spills — is to install luxury vinyl flooring.
“The luxury vinyl plank is probably the fastest growing flooring right now,” he said. “It’s durable and scratch resistant. It’s really good. And you can buy some that looks like tile or others that look like wood.”
The most durable flooring is porcelain ceramic tiles, he said.
“As long as those were installed correctly, you may never have to change that in a lifetime.”
Hardwoods are here to stay and fit in all types of spaces. Price can be an issue for some families, though. If you’re on a budget, carpet is an affordable flooring solution.
“If I had kids, and I couldn’t do luxury vinyl, then carpet would be the way to go,” he said. “If you put carpet down now, let the kid go ahead and give that carpet some wear and tear. Then, if you still want hardwood flooring later, then you do that after they’ve grown up.”
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shunnarah has seen a rise in rubber gym flooring.
“Our clients couldn’t go to their actual gyms, so they decided to make a small or a large room out of their house that was not being used and make a gym out of it,” he said.
Shunnarah’s business recently saw two major expansions: It moved into a nearby showroom that increased its floor space four times over, and it also acquired Sharp Carpet Hardwood & Tile, a business that saw 28 years of success in the flooring industry.
Homewood Carpet & Flooring operates like a family, Shunnarah said. His business motto is “Foo And You: We Are One!”
“When I say ‘Foo and You,’ it really is like 90% of the time you’ll see me if I’m there. And if you have any issues, you’ll talk directly to me,” he said.
If you’re interested in new flooring, your first step is to get your free in-home measurement from Homewood Carpet & Flooring. Then you can look at products, either in the showroom or brought straight to your home from the staff.
The final step is installation, which is another service Homewood Carpet & Flooring offers.
