Imagine your dream flooring for your home. Do you feel soft, warm carpet between your toes? Or do you envision a stunning stretch of hardwood flooring?

Known for their commitment to customer satisfaction, the friendly staff at this Onalaska, WI, mill outlet will be happy to help you make an informed flooring choice. With hundreds of rolls of carpet and myriad vinyl, ceramic, and hardwood flooring options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find your dream floor no matter what style you choose. Because they’re all about making that choice easier, Carpets To Go offers these helpful considerations for choosing between carpet and hardwood flooring for your home.

Carpet is usually notably cheaper than hardwood flooring, making it a more budget-friendly option. It’s important to bear in mind, however, that carpet will need replacement far sooner than hardwood flooring. In fact, well-maintained hardwood flooring can last decades, and requires repairs rather than full replacements when worn down.  It also adds value to your home, making it a worthwhile investment if you’re considering resale down the line.

When it comes to keeping things tidy, hardwood flooring is easy to clean; a quick sweep or vacuum and your floors are spic-and-span again. Carpet, on the other hand, tends to collect dirt and stain easily. Even with regular vacuuming, the lush materials of carpeting only get fully clean with a deep steam cleaning—although carpet does have an unbeatable feeling under bare feet. It also stays warm in cold Wisconsin winters, while hardwood flooring tends to be chilly underfoot.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to choose which flooring will work best for your home. For more advice, or to get some inspiration, stop in to Carpets to Go at their Onalaska location.
