Ask yourself these questions before choosing your next flooring type: 

Do you have a dog?
Will your family be wearing shoes indoors?
Is the new flooring for a kitchen or bathroom?
Does the flooring color need to match or contrast with other materials?
Will moisture be a factor?
How long would you like the flooring to last?
Will you be selling the house in the next few years?
Are the floors going to be used in a rental?
Will you be hiring someone to install the floors?
Do you want the floors to hold up to sanding and refinishing?
