Before you start a project in Sterling
Older floors around Sterling often have dips and humps. LVP shows every one, so we check and level the subfloor before anything goes down.
Housing in Sterling

Floors for working country homes in Sterling
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.
Upgrading builder-grade floors in Sterling
In newer homes the usual project is pulling builder carpet and vinyl and running one hard floor through the main level. Flat subfloors keep prep light, so more of the budget goes to the floor itself.
Laminate flooring in Sterling
Laminate is a good value in Sterling 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.
