Frequently Asked Questions
What type of flooring is best for high-traffic areas?
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) are excellent choices for high-traffic areas due to their durability and scratch resistance. Shepherd’s offers a wide selection of LVT/LVP options suitable for various spaces, including bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas.
How do I choose between carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile?
The choice depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the room’s function. Shepherd’s knowledgeable staff can guide you through the selection process, considering factors like durability, maintenance, aesthetics, and budget.
Is carpet or hard flooring better for allergies?
Hard flooring options like hardwood, laminate, or vinyl are generally better for allergy sufferers as they don’t trap allergens like carpet can. However, Shepherd’s offers carpets made from fibers like nylon and polyester, which can be more resistant to allergens.
What’s the average cost per square foot for new flooring?
Costs vary based on material and installation requirements. Shepherd’s provides free estimates to help you understand the pricing for your specific project.
How long does installation usually take?
Installation time depends on the flooring type and project size. For example, pre-finished hardwood and LVT/LVP can be installed relatively quickly, while sand and finished hardwood may take longer due to sanding and staining processes.
Do you offer free estimates or consultations?
Yes, Shepherd’s offers free project estimates. You can request an estimate through their website or by contacting their Spanish Fork or Richfield locations.
Can you install flooring over my existing floor?
In many cases, yes. Certain flooring types like LVT/LVP can be installed over existing floors, depending on the condition and type of the current flooring. Shepherd’s team can assess your specific situation during the consultation.
How do I properly maintain and clean my new carpet or flooring?
Maintenance varies by flooring type. Shepherd’s provides care tips and guidance for each flooring option they offer, ensuring your floors remain in excellent condition.
What is the best carpet fiber for durability and stain resistance?
Nylon is known for its durability and resilience, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas. Polyester offers excellent stain resistance and is often more budget-friendly. Shepherd’s carries a variety of carpet fibers to suit different needs.
Do you offer waterproof flooring options?
Yes, Shepherd’s offers waterproof flooring options like LVT/LVP, which are suitable for areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens.
What’s the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood consists of a real wood veneer atop multiple layers of plywood, offering better stability in varying climates. Shepherd’s provides both options to cater to different preferences and needs.
Is luxury vinyl plank (LVP) really a good alternative to hardwood?
Yes, LVP offers the aesthetic appeal of hardwood with added benefits like water resistance and durability. It’s a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative, suitable for various areas in your home.
