We install laminate throughout Matthews and will point you toward LVP instead anywhere moisture is a real concern, since laminate isn't the best fit for full bathrooms or laundry rooms.
Laminate for rental and resale properties
A number of our Matthews customers are landlords or homeowners preparing to sell, and laminate is often the practical choice for those projects — it looks updated, holds up to tenant turnover, and installs faster than hardwood.
We can typically turn around a laminate installation in a smaller Matthews home in a day or two, which matters when you're working against a listing date or a tenant move-in.
Laminate for basements and lower-traffic rooms
Some of Matthews' older homes have finished or partially finished basements, and laminate is a good fit there as long as moisture isn't an issue — it gives a warm wood look in a space that doesn't need the cost of hardwood or the water resistance of LVP.
We'll check the space for signs of moisture during your estimate before recommending laminate over LVP.
Laminate vs. hardwood for older Matthews homes
For homeowners trying to decide between refinishing existing hardwood and installing new laminate, the answer usually comes down to what's already there. If the original hardwood is solid and in decent shape, refinishing is often the better value; if it's missing or damaged, new laminate can be the more practical route.
We'll give you an honest read on which makes more sense once we've seen the space.
Yes, it's one of the more popular choices for rental properties — durable, budget-friendly, and quick to install between tenants.
