Flooring FAQs

Answers that make the next flooring step clear.

Start with common questions about estimates, samples, pricing notes, in-home consultations, and the Dundas showroom before you schedule flooring guidance.

Before You Reach Out

You do not need every detail figured out.

It helps to know which rooms you are updating, what flooring options you are considering, and any questions about comfort, cleanup, moisture, timing, pets, kids, stairs, or budget.

Planning your flooring project

Use these answers when you are gathering room details, thinking about budget, or deciding whether to start with a call or an in-home consultation.

Helpful Starting Point

If the answer depends on your rooms, bring the question to an in-home consultation. Flooring color, texture, cushion, sheen, and cleanup needs are easier to compare in the space itself.

Why should we buy flooring from Behr's?

Behr's is a family-owned local flooring business with decades of experience helping homeowners compare products, plan projects, and choose flooring that fits their rooms, lifestyle, and design goals.

What information should I have ready for a flooring estimate?

Helpful details include your contact information, whether you live in the home or it is a rental, which area needs flooring, approximate room size, flooring type, budget, style or color preferences, project timing, and availability for a measure.

What should I prepare before an in-home flooring consultation?

Think about which rooms are changing, who uses them, pets or kids, preferred style, moisture concerns, existing flooring, stairs or transitions, budget direction, and project timing.

How quickly can someone come out to measure or review my project?

Timing depends on current scheduling and project location, but Behr's tries to be flexible. The best next step is to call or request a consultation so the team can review availability and your project timing.

What if I have a time-sensitive flooring project?

Let Behr's know your timing early. The team can talk through available remnants, in-stock options, and products that may be available more quickly, depending on the material and manufacturer.

Pricing Notes

What listed flooring prices include

These answers preserve current Behr's pricing notes while keeping the next step clear: confirm the exact scope for your rooms before deciding.

What do listed carpet prices include?

Listed carpet prices typically include the carpet material, 1/2 inch 8 lb pad, and installation. Final project pricing still depends on product selection, measurements, room conditions, and installation details.

What do listed vinyl prices include?

Listed vinyl prices typically include the vinyl material and installation. Final pricing still depends on measurements, product choice, room conditions, and any project-specific preparation.

Which listed prices are materials only?

Listed prices for laminate, wood, luxury vinyl tile, and tile may be materials-only prices. Confirm the exact scope with Behr's so you know whether installation, prep, transitions, or other project details are included.

How does payment for new flooring work?

Behr's typically asks for half of the total down, with the remaining balance due when the project is completed. Financing options may also be available for qualified buyers through Synchrony.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing is available for qualified buyers through Synchrony. Applications and account management happen through Synchrony, while Behr's helps with flooring project planning and next steps.

Can we purchase flooring materials only?

Yes. Behr's can help with materials-only flooring orders for homeowners, installers, contractors, or DIY projects. Availability and shipping options depend on the product, quantity, manufacturer, and destination.

Installation

Installation timing and preparation

These answers help you understand scheduling, furniture, removals, and what to expect once the project moves from planning into installation.

How long does it take to get flooring installed?

After materials are ordered, many products arrive in about one to two weeks depending on the manufacturer and product availability. Once Behr's has the material timing, the team can schedule the installation date.

Can installation dates be spread out for multiple rooms?

Yes. If a project involves multiple rooms or needs extra time for furniture moving, installation can often be planned across different days so the schedule works better for your home.

If I remove my existing flooring, will you haul it away?

In many projects, Behr's can help haul away removed flooring. If you remove carpet or vinyl yourself, roll it neatly. If you remove hard-surface flooring, keep it in an organized pile so the next step is easier to plan.

If I remove existing carpet, should I leave the tack strips down?

Yes. If you remove and discard existing carpet before installation, leave the tack strips in place. If any tack strips need to be replaced, the installation team can address that during the project.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Not always. If you cannot be home, Behr's will need clear access instructions or another approved way to enter the home. Details can be confirmed when the installation is scheduled.

Do you move furniture?

Yes, furniture moving can be part of the project planning conversation. Let Behr's know what furniture is in the rooms being updated so the team can explain what can be moved and how to prepare.

Do you guarantee your installation work?

Yes. Behr's stands behind its installation work. If something needs to be reviewed or repaired after installation, call the showroom so the team can schedule a time to look at it.

Samples & Products

Samples, remnants, and product decisions

Some questions depend on the material itself: sample size, carpet cushion, moisture conditions, remnants, and custom rug options.

Does Behr's bring flooring samples to my home?

Yes. Behr's brings flooring samples, expert guidance, measuring, and installation planning directly to homeowners so products can be compared in the rooms where they will be installed.

Can I see a larger sample of a product I like?

Often, yes. If you find a style and color you like, Behr's can help check whether a larger or manufacturer-provided sample is available. Sample timing depends on the product and manufacturer.

Do you carry flooring remnants?

Yes. Behr's often has a variety of remnants available, which can be helpful for smaller rooms, quicker projects, or budget-conscious updates when the right size and style are available.

What type of carpet pad do you recommend?

Behr's commonly recommends 1/2 inch 8 lb pad, which is the pad included in listed carpet pricing. A good pad helps carpet feel comfortable and perform well without necessarily choosing the thickest carpet.

Can moisture-barrier carpet pad be installed over concrete?

It depends on the concrete and moisture conditions, but manufacturers may not recommend moisture-barrier pad over damp concrete because it can trap moisture below the pad. Behr's can help you compare safer flooring and cushion options for the room.

Do you sell rugs?

Behr's does not focus on pre-made rugs, but carpet can often be bound and made into a custom rug. Ask the team what options are available for the carpet style and size you have in mind.
