Paris, TX Local Tip:

"The clay soil in Lamar County can cause foundations to shift slightly over time. LVP is flexible, meaning it handles this movement much better than rigid tile, preventing cracks."

• Practical Durability: Resists warping, shrinking, and expansion due to humidity.
• Versatile Installation: Suitable for basements, radiant heating systems, and concrete subfloors.

• Combines functionality and elegance for both residential and commercial environments.
• Often offers thicker wear layers, enabling multiple refinishes over decades of use.
• Tip: Control indoor humidity to prevent warping or other damage.
• Tip: Clean sparingly with hardwood-specific products to maintain its lustrous finish.

Paris, TX Local Tip:

"East Texas humidity can be tough on solid wood floors. Pre-engineered wood is structurally more stable, making it the smarter investment for our climate."

• Waterproof & Hygienic: The ideal choice for bathrooms and kitchens; it is impervious to water and discourages mold, bacteria, and allergens.
• Porcelain Durability: Our porcelain options are fired at higher temperatures, making them harder than granite and resistant to heavy foot traffic.
• Infinite Design: From "wood-look" planks to large-format stone looks, tile offers the widest range of colors, textures, and sizes.
• Easy Care: Resists stains and odors—simply sweep and mop to keep it looking pristine for decades.

• Porcelain vs. Ceramic: We recommend Porcelain for floors due to its strength, while Ceramic is an excellent, cost-effective choice for walls and backsplashes.
• Grout Matters: Modern grout resists stains better than ever. Ask us about "rectified" tile for thinner grout lines and a seamless look.
• Tip: For bathrooms, always choose a textured or matte finish to ensure slip resistance when wet.
• Tip: Tile is the most scratch-resistant flooring available, making it perfect for homes with large dogs.
  

Paris, TX Local Tip:

Texas summers are hot, and tile is naturally cool to the touch, helping keep your home comfortable and energy bills down during July and August. However, because our local soil shifts, we highly recommend using a flexible uncoupling membrane during installation to prevent cracks—something our installation team specializes in.

• Unmatched Comfort: The softest option underfoot, perfect for bedrooms and living rooms.
• PureColor® Technology: The color penetrates the fiber entirely, ensuring it never fades or wears off.
• Sound Insulation: Drastically reduces noise transfer between floors and rooms.
• Built-In Stain Resistance: Protects against pet accidents and spills better than traditional fibers.

• Modern solution-dyed carpets are hypoallergenic and easy to clean.
• Carpet acts as a natural insulator, helping to retain warmth in colder months.
• Tip: Vacuum frequently to keep fibers upright and remove dust.
• Tip: We recommend a professional steam clean every 12-18 months to extend the life of your warranty.
  

Paris, TX Local Tip:

"For our customers with allergies in Lamar County, we recommend low-pile, solution-dyed polyester carpet. It resists mold and mildew better than wool or nylon."
