I am in Colorado Springs and I also prefer tile in areas with a sink, although my kitchen has hardwood. That's only because the whole main level of my house is matching oak hardwood. My bathrooms and laundry room all have 12" ceramic tile. When I bought the house the master bathroom was carpeted...

Hi Nichole, (fellow Plano, Texan!) Gina made a good suggestion to check out the neighboring houses and models in your area. I know lots of homes in our areas have tile floors and see a good return on that investment. Natural stone (or stone looks) are also growing in popularity as are "green"...

Hi Nichole; For some, tile floors are a turn off in the kitchen because they think that they are too hard a surface, reasoning that everything that falls and hits tile is sure to break. My best suggestion, check out what the flooring being offered in the newer model homes in your area is. You'll...

Thanks so much Karen. We replaced the carpet with terracotta tile and it looks sooooooo much better. Plus, it is much more practical. I don't know why builders put carpet next to a toilet anyway.

The 10 year old carpet in my bathroom looks ok. However, the carpet around our toilet looks warn and dirty (we have 3 small boys, I'm sure you can imagine). Would it look too odd to replace just the carpet around our toilet. It is in its own small room

What causes it? The carpeting going up my stairs is starting to turn black on the edges. I bought a home once before that had these stains and never could get them out. How do I clean it before it gets too bad and what causes it?

Our home has laminent wood flooring in our dining room, office and living room. Although it is more practical than carpet, I can't stand fake wood floors. To make the floors worse, in my mind, is that the people who owned the house before us also put in very expensive oak doors into the office (and...

Take a good hard look at the carpeting, if it needs more than professional cleaning, it is best just to replace it. It does not have to be replaced with the highest quality carpet. If you put a thick pad underneath lower-grade carpet, buyers will be much more impressed than if the currently installed...
