A tip for Foster homes
Older floors around Foster often have dips and humps. LVP shows every one, so we check and level the subfloor before anything goes down.

Foster is in Providence County, RI. Most of the housing here is farmhouses, antique homes and newer houses on wooded lots.
Floors for working country homes in Foster
Most country homes end up with a mix: tile or LVP in the mudroom and kitchen, wood or LVP in living areas, and carpet removed from bedrooms. We plan the transitions so the house reads as one floor, not a patchwork.
Floors that suit an antique home in Foster
Owners of older Foster homes often want real wood. Engineered hardwood with a wide plank gives the look with more stability through New England seasons. Where the original floor can be saved, refinishing may beat replacing it, and we will say so at the walkthrough.
Laminate flooring in Foster
Laminate is a good value in Foster bedrooms, living rooms and upstairs spaces that stay dry. It has a harder top layer than most LVP, so it handles chairs, toys and dog nails well, and it often costs a bit less. Look for an AC3 rating for most homes and AC4 for busy households.
