My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      Hi Jennifer.
      Which company did you get your flooring from? Do you like if you had to move furniture it would tear?
      Thanks!

      Hi Sandy, nice to hear from you : )
      Our flooring is Allure, available at Home Depot. We have Country Pine. It can scratch lightly if you were to drag furniture across the floor, but it doesn't tear. And I have a neat little tip for fixing scratches ; )

      Sorry that was supposed to say. Do think or know if it would tear if furniture were to be moved?

      The flooring store I saw it in uses Kardean brand and it sincerely looked real. I could not believe it wasn't real wood and it is used in grocery stores around here and commercially. The commercial grade can take more of a beating and I looked at the grocery store when I was there and theirs isn't scratched. I would think the commercial grade might work better and the flooring guy told me it doesn't scratch or tear. I should be getting mine in about a month.

      Sandy, I don't think you would have any issues with tearing if moving furniture across your floor. It's a thick product : )
