Some people believe that ceramic tile and porcelain tile are the same thing. They are often even used interchangeably when speaking about tile. However, ceramic and porcelain actually have some very distinguishing characteristics. Depending upon your exact needs, it could be very important that you know what these differences are. It's true that there are some similarities between ceramic tile and porcelain. Both are made of clay, both are fired in a kiln to achieve their density, and both receive a final glaze for a finished tile product.

Those who already have hardwood floors installed in their homes likely wouldn't change it for anything. They enjoy the elegant warmth it brings to their spaces, as well as the ability to easily match dcor and furnishings against it. If you have never considered hardwood as an option for your floors, we'd like to give you a peek into its benefits and attributes. It's hard to condense all that information, but we want to hit the important points for you today. You don't have to spend tons of time deciding which hardwood flooring will go best with your furnishings.

Waterproof flooring has always been known as a specialty flooring, as well it should. It is known quite well for its imperviousness to water, keeping your floors completely safe from water damage of any kind. Some materials can even withstand flood conditions so that it can simply be dried and reinstalled at a later date. However, there are far more uses for this flooring, and many ways it can be of great service to you in nearly any room in your home. And we're here to tell you more about that.

Sheet flooring was once one of the most affordable bargain-bin finds available on the flooring market. However, when we speak of resilient sheet vinyl flooring, that's not at all what we are referencing. In fact, this floor covering has so much more to offer, no matter what your budget, requirements, or needs, you're likely to find it a perfect match for your own home. From great looks to dependability you can count on, you're going to want to check this material out. Sherlock's Carpet & Tile has more than 40 years of experience in flooring, and we're willing to put it all to work on your very own flooring project.

Have you considered luxury vinyl for your new floors? When you begin to think about reflooring your home, one question rises above the others. What type of flooring material is best for my home? Sometimes, you might have your heart set on something particular. However, upon researching, you might find it doesn't fit your needs at all. For instance, your favorite flooring could be solid hardwood. But because the floor you want to replace is in the basement, you won't be able to use it. There are materials that you can use instead and one of them is luxury vinyl.

For some, area rugs almost seem like a thing of the past. The truth is, they are very much in style and used in a variety of ways that can be very useful to you, the homeowner. Since they can be purchased in a variety of sizes, shapes, and appearances, they can turn your decor completely around. On the other hand, they have a protective characteristic as well, which can even help to extend the life of your flooring. It's worth a few extra minutes of your time to see if these pieces could be beneficial to you.

There are so many different kinds of natural stone materials to choose from, you could find yourself spending a great deal of time choosing which one is best for you. It's often a better idea to know which ones, specifically, do not fit your specified requirements and cross them off the list. This leaves you with a selection that will work for your exact preferences. Even then, there will be tons of variety. At Sherlock's Carpet & Tile, we have a long history of experience in the flooring industry.

You've put a lot of work into this project so far. It's understandable if you're beginning to get a little worn out. The worst thing that can happen now is for all of that hard work to go to waste. Hiring an under-qualified or inexperienced contractor can end with your installation looking as though little or no work went into it at all. And though the color swatches strewn out on your coffee table may beg to differ, all anyone will see is the shoddy installation. That's what Sherlock's Carpet & Tile is here for.

Don was excellent and kept us informed thru the process. He was able to bring samples to the house and helped us choose a rug and color. He was the best part of the whole thing. Installers did a satisfactory job. Left a few staples under the rug for me to step on and try to pull out. They chipped a hallway tile and when I called about it the lady seemed to imply I was lying about it. That is not acceptable and rather than deal with her any more I dropped the matter. The chip was small and her attitude was not worth it. Now I am finding threads coming out of the seams in the hallway.

This was our second large purchase of carpeting from Sherlock carpet ( we did 1/2 of our house at a time) Jerry is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect carpeting. The installers were great, quick and professional. They cleaned up after themselves and as we had just had the rooms painted were extra careful not to bump the walls. I HIGHLY recommend Sherlocks to anyone. They work with you to make your home beautiful!

Excellent service! Love love love our new hardwood floors. We were so nervous to find out what was underneath our tile floors in the house we just bought. Trish was extremely helpful and accommodated our move in schedule. She made the whole process as smooth as can be from start to finish. Noe and his team did an excellent job! We are definitely going to be using Sherlock's in the near future for our upstairs flooring.
