Floor It!: Signs You’re Due for a Replacement
Flooring takes the most amount of wear and tear in homes and businesses alike. Whether it's daily foot traffic, commercial use, or heavy machinery, floors endure years of impact, cleaning, and stress. Although floors are built to last, like everything in your home or commercial space, they don’t last forever and require replacement at some point. But how do you know when? Let’s discuss some of the common signs your floors are nearing the end of their lifespan, and what you can do about it.
Signs For a Residential Replacement
- Visible Damage
Scratches, chips, dents, or warping are clear signs that your floors are nearing the end of their lifespan. Over time, heavy furniture, pet claws, and everyday traffic can wear down protective finishes or cause visible marks. Hardwood may show deep gouges that sanding fails to remove, while laminate might start peeling or bubbling at the seams. Once the damage spreads beyond repair, replacement becomes more cost-effective than continuous touchups. Investing in modern materials like luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or engineered hardwood can also provide better durability and moisture resistance for the future.
