🚨 **BUYING A HOUSE? PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU CLOSE.**

Over the last several weeks, we've had multiple customers call us **after purchasing a home** because they were told a flooring issue could be repaired.

Then we get there.

And unfortunately, what they were told isn't always possible.

A damaged board in the middle of a floor may *look* like a simple repair. But is the flooring still manufactured? Can we get the same color, size and locking system? Is it glued, nailed or floating? Can we physically get to the damaged area without taking apart half the house? And even if we *can* repair it — **should we?**

Those answers can mean the difference between a relatively inexpensive repair and replacing thousands of dollars worth of flooring.

Home inspectors and Realtors have an important job, but **flooring is our job.** If there's a flooring concern during an inspection, don't rely on someone's best guess about whether it can be fixed or what it might cost.

Get a flooring professional involved **before you close.**

We would much rather walk a house with you and tell you, *“Yep, that's fixable,”* than meet you after closing and have to tell you the bad news.

A second opinion costs a whole lot less than finding out they were wrong.

🏠 **Know before you close.**

DON’T PICK YOUR FLOOR YET.

Yep. The flooring lady just said that. 😂

One of the first things I tell people who are referred to us is: you don’t need to go shopping before I come see you.

Don’t spend three weekends wandering through flooring stores. Don’t order 27 samples online. And please don’t fall madly in love with a floor before we know whether it actually belongs in your house.

When I walk into a home, my first question is usually:

“Show me around. What don’t you like about what you have now, and how can we change that?”

Because choosing the right floor starts with a whole lot more than color.

I want to see the existing flooring and what’s underneath it. I’m looking at the slab or subfloor, moisture, transitions, floor heights, trim, adjoining rooms, how the space is used, pets, kids, traffic, maintenance expectations—and anything else that could affect how your new floor performs.

Not every flooring product is right for every home.

And once you’ve spent hours shopping and fallen in love with THE ONE, it becomes a whole lot harder for me to tell you that THE ONE may not be a good choice for your house. It’s a little like telling someone their boyfriend is an idiot after they’ve already picked out baby names. 😂

So we do things a little differently.

First, we evaluate the home.
Then, we figure out what products make sense.
THEN, we find the one you love.

It may not be the traditional flooring-store process, but there’s a reason for that.

We’re not trying to sell you a floor. We’re trying to help you make the right flooring decision.

Because the goal isn’t for you to love your flooring sample today.

The goal is for you to still love your floor years from now.

Right is right. Wrong is wrong.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Can you install beautiful new flooring and put the same 20-year-old baseboards back on?

Absolutely.

Do I think you should? Usually, no.

Replacing your flooring is quite literally the BEST time to update your trim. The old flooring is already coming out, the baseboards need to be removed or worked around anyway, and we have the opportunity to install new trim cleanly and consistently as part of the entire project.

Otherwise, you can spend thousands of dollars on gorgeous new floors only to have your eye immediately drawn to the baseboards with 57 coats of paint, chips the size of a small squirrel, old caulk, gaps and — because I've been in enough houses to know this is absolutely a thing — occasionally a little cat p*e preserved somewhere between the archaeological layers. 😂

New baseboards aren't necessary on every flooring project. If your existing trim is in great condition and works with the new floor, keep it.

But if it already looks tired, your brand-new floor probably isn't going to make it look better. It's going to make you notice it more.

That's why we talk about trim when we're planning the flooring — not after the new floor is already installed.

The details matter.

And as we say around here: just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Sometimes the most important part of your new floor is the part you'll never see.

Everybody gets excited about picking the flooring. Color, style, plank size, pattern — that's the fun part.

But that's not where we start.

Once the old flooring comes up, we start looking at what's underneath it.

Is the floor flat?
Is there moisture?
Are there cracks or movement?
What kind of adhesive is left behind?
Has someone patched or leveled it before?
Are there multiple layers hiding underneath?
And most importantly — is this surface actually ready for the floor you picked?

Sometimes the answer is yes.

Sometimes we uncover something that changes the entire plan.

Floor prep isn't the exciting part of a flooring project. In fact, when we're finished, you'll probably never see any of it again.

But skipping it, covering up a problem, or saying “eh, it'll probably be fine” can turn a beautiful new floor into a very expensive problem later.

That's why we're willing to spend time fixing something you're never going to see.

Because five years from now, I don't just want your floor to look good.

I want it to still be good.

One of the first questions I ask a customer has absolutely nothing to do with what color flooring they like.

I want to know how you LIVE in your house.

Do you have dogs? Big dogs? Kids? A pool? Lots of West Texas dirt coming through the door? Do you have rooms that get hammered by afternoon sun? Are we installing over a concrete slab? Have there been moisture problems? How much traffic does the floor see? And maybe most importantly—how much maintenance are you actually willing to do?

Because here's the thing...

You can fall in love with a floor in a showroom and it can still be completely wrong for your house.

Hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl, tile and carpet all have their place. And within each of those categories, there are products I'd happily put in one home and wouldn't recommend for another.

That's also why we don't like handing someone a pile of samples before we've seen their house.

I don't want to sell you my favorite floor.

I want to help you choose the floor that's going to work with your family, your house, your budget and your expectations — long after the “new floor” excitement wears off.

Because the prettiest floor in the world isn't very pretty when it doesn't perform the way you expected it to.

🏠 Right floor. Right home.

Sometimes your carpet doesn’t need another cleaning…it needs a retirement plan.

This home was getting a fresh start—and that meant saying adios to the outdated dark tile and carpet that had definitely lived its best life.

The homeowners wanted to create a comfortable place for the grandparents to stay and feel at home when visiting the grandkids, while also being able to use the property as an Airbnb when family isn’t in town.

We replaced the old flooring with LVP throughout the main areas and finished it off with new double-stacked baseboards. The result is cleaner, brighter, easier to maintain, and a whole lot more welcoming.

And that last part matters.

Whether it’s your own home, a rental or an Airbnb, the condition of the flooring is one of the first things people notice when they walk through the door.

Great spaces really do start with great floors.

Thinking about updating yours? Give Winder Flooring a call. We’ll start by looking at your home, how you use it and what you want to change—then we’ll talk flooring.
