You can call us at 916-348-7311 to book a service.

4. What flooring is best for busy homes with kids and pets?

Luxury vinyl is often a good choice for busy homes. This is because it is durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean. Laminate can also be a good budget-friendly option in many rooms. Carpet can be best for bedrooms and stairs, where comfort is a priority. 

The right choice depends on the room, traffic, moisture, and budget. If you want professional advice, you can rely on Preferred Flooring & Paint.

7. Should I paint the walls or install new flooring first?

You should paint your walls before putting in new floors. Painting first prevents drips or splatters from landing on your new floor. It also makes moving heavy painting tools around much safer. If you want a smooth project sequence, call Preferred Flooring & Paint (CSLB #1070289) at 916-348-7311 to schedule both services.

8. Which is better for homes: luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or laminate?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is waterproof, which makes it great for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Laminate feels a bit more like natural wood underfoot, but it can swell if wet. If you need help choosing the best option for your home, call Preferred Flooring & Paint at 916-348-7311. We’re a BBB-accredited company with an A+ rating, and we make sure you get the best flooring for your home.

9. How long does interior paint take to dry before moving furniture back?

Most latex paints feel dry to the touch in two to four hours. However, you should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before pushing heavy furniture back against the walls to avoid scuffs. Keep in mind that latex paint takes roughly 30 days to fully cure and reach maximum durability. 

If you want a clean interior finish, call Preferred Flooring & Paint at 916-348-7311. With 17+ years of experience, our licensed team (CSLB #1070289) guarantees quality work.

10. Do baseboards need to be replaced when getting new floors?

You do not always have to replace baseboards, but removing them usually gives the cleanest look. Another option is adding quarter-round molding along the bottom to cover expansion gaps. If you want expert advice on trim and flooring, contact Preferred Flooring & Paint at 916-348-7311. We’re a BBB-accredited company with an A+ rating, and our team brings over 17 years of experience to every Sacramento home.

11. Can I paint my kitchen cabinets instead of buying new ones?

Yes, painting kitchen cabinets saves thousands of dollars compared to replacing them if the existing cabinet boxes and doors are structurally sound. The key to factory-smooth cabinet painting is proper sanding, priming, and using durable, cabinet-grade paint that will not chip with daily use. As a BBB-accredited company with an A+ rating, our experienced team can inspect your kitchen and recommend the right solution. Call Preferred Flooring & Paint at 916-348-7311 to schedule your service.

12. What causes paint to peel off walls or trim?

Paint peels when moisture gets trapped underneath, or if the surface was not cleaned and primed correctly before painting over old layers. Sanding and priming solve this issue. To ensure long-lasting results, hire Preferred Flooring & Paint. We have been in this business since 2008 and are a BBB-accredited company with an A+ rating that most Sacramento locals trust.

13. How long does it take to install new flooring in a home?

Most average-sized homes take two to three days for floor installation. The licensed team (CSLB #1070289) at Preferred Flooring & Paint can provide you with the exact timeline depending on room sizes, subfloor repairs, and the type of material being installed. If you want a fast, reliable timeline for your project, call us at 916-348-7311 today.

14. Should I choose light or dark flooring for a small room?

Light-colored floors make small rooms feel larger, brighter, and more open by reflecting light around the space. Dark floors add a cozy, formal feel, but they can make tiny spaces look smaller. For personalized design guidance, reach out to Preferred Flooring & Paint at 916-348-7311. Our local team brings over 17 years of local experience that most Sacramento homeowners rely on.

15. What is low-VOC paint, and why should I use it?

Low-VOC paint releases far fewer harsh chemicals and odors into the air as it dries. This makes it safer for kids, pets, and anyone with allergies or breathing sensitivities. At Preferred Flooring & Paint (CSLB #1070289), we’ve been offering eco-friendly painting solutions since 2008. Call us at 916-348-7311 to learn more.

16. How do I maintain and clean luxury vinyl plank floors?

  • Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft-brush attachment to remove dirt and grit.
  • Clean with a damp mop using a mild cleaner formulated specifically for vinyl floors.
  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, wax treatments, and steam mops, as high heat can damage the vinyl layers.
