We carry the full range—hardwood, waterproof flooring, carpet, laminate, and area rugs—from trusted, name-brand mills. As part of the world’s largest flooring co-op, we offer premium selection and buying power, and our experts help you find the perfect fit for every room.
Do you provide free in-home estimates?
Yes. Our free, no-obligation in-home estimates let you see samples in your own space and lighting while we take precise measurements. Prefer to browse first? You’re always welcome at our Columbia showroom.
Is waterproof flooring durable?
Very. Today’s waterproof flooring features tough wear layers and rigid, waterproof cores that resist scratches, dents, and moisture—an excellent premium option for busy households and wet areas alike.
Do you offer installation services?
Yes. Our experienced, professional installers handle every flooring type with care—from subfloor prep to the final walkthrough—all backed by our Lifetime Installation Guarantee.
Is laminate flooring a good option for homes?
Laminate offers a durable, budget-friendly way to get a realistic wood look with easy maintenance. Modern laminate is scratch-resistant and great for high-traffic areas—we’ll help you weigh it against waterproof flooring and hardwood.
What makes a floor “premium”?
Premium flooring combines higher-grade materials, refined designer looks, and stronger performance—thicker wear layers, better warranties, and superior construction. It’s built to look beautiful and last longer, room after room.
Do you offer financing on premium flooring?
Yes. Flexible financing, including Synchrony HOME options with 0% interest for 12 months on qualifying purchases, makes premium flooring more affordable. Ask us for current details.
Which flooring adds the most home value?
Hardwood is traditionally prized for resale value, while premium waterproof flooring and quality carpet add comfort and broad appeal. We’ll help you choose based on your home, lifestyle, and goals.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve Columbia, Ellicott City, and communities across Howard, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, and Prince George’s counties—including Olney, Jessup, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Rockville, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg. Visit our Columbia showroom or schedule a free in-home consultation anywhere in our service area.
How fast can you install?
As soon as the next day! Typically, most homeowners request installation within 1-3 weeks. We keep a large selection of products in stock that help us meet your schedule!
Can you coordinate flooring?
We prefer to say “coordinate.” It’s near impossible to match flooring because so many variables are in place! Dye lots, color change from sunlight and wear and tear make a perfect match impossible. We’ll work hard to coordinate :)
Can you repair existing flooring?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer repair work.
