Are there any specific considerations for installing carpet or vinyl in high-traffic areas?
High-traffic areas, such as hallways, stairs, and entranceways, experience more wear and tear than other spaces. To ensure durability and longevity:

- Choose carpet for lower-traffic areas like bedrooms, media rooms, and spaces under furniture.
Selecting the right flooring for each area helps maintain a consistent look while minimizing the need for replacements.

Carpet:
- Vacuum weekly to remove dirt and allergens.
- Schedule professional cleaning every 12–18 months to refresh and extend its life.
Vinyl Flooring:
- Vacuum regularly to prevent scratches from debris.
- Mop with a damp cloth and gentle cleaner to maintain its shine.
By following these simple steps, you’ll enjoy beautiful, long-lasting floors.
