Sure, there’s Berber carpet and frieze carpet, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are some truly one-of-a-kind exotic carpets. Some of these, complete with deep pile and shag styling, can look like everything from deep sea anemones to delicate flowers. For the right home, they can be a major style choice.

The Best Floors for Wet Basements
There are some basements that simply flood no matter what you do. You’ve tried changing the grading around your home. No dice. You’ve gotten a new sump pump with battery backup and fixed any structural issues, but your basement still floods due to a high water table. It happens. What doesn’t have to happen is replacing your flooring every time it rains. With a few smart choices, you can bounce back from a flood in no time.
Natural Stone vs. Porcelain Tile
When it comes to kitchens or bathrooms, you know that you want a hard, durable surface. You want something that can withstand water and something that’s tough. Usually, that brings you down to two choices: natural stone like marble, travertine or slate or a ceramic or porcelain tile. They both fit the bill with a variety of beautiful looks for any space, but which is right for your home? The answer depends.

Often, we do estimates for customers after they’ve already gotten pricing from a big box store. People are shocked when they find out how much lower our prices can be than the big-name players. But really, there are a few simple reasons why some believe big boxes have the best prices. Here’s why you’re paying more than you think when you shop at that big box:
What’s New in Ceramic Tile Technology
Sometimes, tough times are what we need to wake us up and make us think of new ways of tackling old problems. No one likes this “great recession” we’ve been living through, but it’s sparked some interesting new trends and technology across the flooring market, but especially in ceramic tile.
Epic™ Hardwood Flooring: Green, Affordable and Durable
Engineered hardwood is becoming an increasingly popular flooring choice. Rather than being one thick piece of wood like solid hardwood products, engineered uses a veneer of real hardwood on top of a core of other materials. Engineered hardwood looks exactly the same as solid hardwood, but is a greener, more affordable choice because it uses less wood and relies on its core to make up much of the bulk of the product. And Epic™, a new engineered hardwood product from Shaw, adds additional advantages for installation.
Creating a Cohesive Bathroom with Tiles
Recently, we completed a fun tiling project in an Indianapolis home. It was a small, slightly strangely shaped bathroom with a shower right next to a bathtub. The walk-in shower was cut on a bias that left it open. In order to create one continuous space, we’d need to find a way to coordinate the tile on the front of the garden tub with the open shower.
