About Our Company, Home Flooring Pros

Home Flooring Pros is a long-term project started by Jamie Sandford back in 2013. Since the beginning, our mission has always been to create a no-pressure learning environment for homeowners to learn everything they need to know about buying new flooring or replacing their existing floors. All this before you walk into a local showroom or deal with a high-pressure salesman in your home, after all, an educated consumer makes the smartest choices and gets the best deal on new home flooring.

Over the years we have brought experienced technical writers on board, consulted with industry experts and broadened our content to include even more helpful flooring advice including:

Flooring Brands: We take a closer look at both flooring manufacturers and retailers. What are the specs, styles and options of the most popular flooring brands.

Cost Reports: How much do different flooring materials cost on a scale of good to best? How much should you expect to pay for installation and what factors can affect cost?

Flooring Materials: Our next step is to delve deeper into the main flooring options and consider how different types of flooring materials work best in different settings.

Comparison Reports: Do you want to know the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile? What about choosing between nylon and polyester carpet? In our comparison reports we take a deep dive into the difference between different flooring materials and treatments.

Ideas and Options: Here is where we let our hair down and indulge in some good old fashioned interior design day dreaming. Our interior design expert takes a look at how different types of flooring can impact the overall look of your home.

How-To: Although we’re not a conventional DIY flooring website we do like to help our readers with some of the everyday flooring tasks they may need to undertake in the course of caring and repairing for their floors.

Ask the Pros: Finally, since our readership has grown, we have started to receive specific questions from readers asking for help and advice. In this section you can find the most popular questions asked and replies from our home flooring pros.
