You finally have a quiet Sunday. No errands. No commitments. Just coffee and a slow morning at home. And then you sit down in the living room — and notice how cold the tile feels underfoot. Or how loud the laminate sounds when anyone walks across it. Or how the light hits the floor just right and shows every scuff. It's not that the floors are falling apart. They just don't feel like *home* anymore. That's usually when people start thinking about a change. Not a huge production — just flooring that actually fits the way you live and the way you want your home to feel. If you've been sitting on that idea for a while, we're happy to help you think it through. What's the one thing about your current floors that bothers you most?

Should you install new floors before or after painting? Most homeowners get this order wrong — and it costs them time and money. Here's the smarter sequence: 🔹 Paint first, floors second — drips and roller splatter are inevitable, and protecting new flooring from them is a headache you don't need 🔹 Baseboards come off before flooring goes in — reinstalling them after gives you a cleaner finish and hides the expansion gap properly 🔹 If cabinets are staying, floors go under them — but if cabinets are being replaced, do floors after so you're not tiling or planking under something that's getting torn out anyway 🔹 New doors may need to be trimmed — flooring adds height, and doors that cleared the old floor sometimes drag on the new one Getting the sequence right the first time saves you from redoing work you already paid for. We walk homeowners through the full project order before installation starts — so nothing gets damaged and everything lines up the way it should. What stage of your renovation are you at right now?

Here's a pro tip that'll save you headaches (and money): acclimation is non-negotiable. Whether you're installing hardwood or vinyl plank, let your flooring sit in the room for 48-72 hours before installation. Why? Hardwood naturally expands and contracts with humidity changes, and vinyl needs to adjust to room temperature. Skip this step and you might end up with buckling, gaps, or premature wear—trust us, ripping up flooring is way more expensive than waiting a few days. Your flooring will settle into your home's climate and perform beautifully for years. At RM Flooring, we always make sure our customers know this—it's the difference between a floor that lasts and one that causes regrets. What's the biggest mistake you've heard about when it comes to flooring installation?
