Functional Flooring: Choosing the Perfect Surface with Eminence Construction & Remodeling Aug 12, 2025

Every home renovation brings with it a set of choices, and few are as impactful as selecting the right flooring. At Eminence Construction & Remodeling, we understand that your flooring needs to strike a balance between functionality, style, and durability—after all, it’s one of the largest surfaces in your home. Whether you're remodeling one room or encompassing the entire house, picking the perfect flooring requires considering a variety of factors to ensure that it not only matches your aesthetic but also meets practical demands.

The first factor to consider when choosing functional flooring is the purpose of each room. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and living rooms need surfaces that stand up to constant use. Hardwood flooring is a popular option, known for its durability and timeless appeal. However, for homes with pets or young children, opting for scratch-resistant laminates might be a more practical choice. Eminence Construction & Remodeling offers an array of choices ensuring each room has a surface that fits its unique need.

Moisture levels are another crucial component in making your flooring decision. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements demand materials that repel water. Tile is traditionally favored for these areas because of its water-resistant properties. Porcelain and ceramic tiles not only offer a range of styles but are also easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for moisture-prone spaces. At Eminence, we recommend selecting grout in darker shades to better hide stains over time.

The climate you live in should also influence your flooring choice. For homes in cooler climates, materials that retain heat such as cork or carpet can provide warmth underfoot and help in conserving energy. In contrast, those in warmer regions might prefer tile or stone, which stay cool to the touch, offering some relief during hot summers. We at Eminence Construction & Remodeling have experts who can guide you through options tailored perfectly for your local environment.

Budget undoubtedly plays a significant role, yet with Eminence Construction & Remodeling, you never have to sacrifice quality for affordability. Laminate and vinyl floors have advanced significantly in recent years, providing a cost-effective alternative that mimics more expensive options like hardwood or stone. These materials come in a plethora of textures and finishes, offering both style and savings.

Finally, don’t overlook the importance of installation and ongoing maintenance. Professional installation ensures your floor is not only beautiful but also long-lasting. Our team at Eminence Construction & Remodeling is equipped with the skills and tools to handle installations with precision. Additionally, understanding the maintenance needs for each flooring type will keep your investment looking its best for years to come. Hardwoods may require regular polishing, while tiles might need periodic resealing of grout lines.
