Not all floors are created equal — and not all rooms need the same type of flooring. Whether you’re renovating one space or building a new home, choosing the right material for each room is essential for durability, comfort, and style.
Here’s a room-by-room guide from our team at Garcia’s Flooring Experts to help you make the perfect choice.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) for a wood look with scratch and spill resistance.
Laminate as a stylish and affordable alternative.

Top Picks:
Tile for durability and easy cleanup.
LVP for style and moisture resistance.
Waterproof laminate for budget-conscious upgrades.
