Who better to know what you’ll need to do a project than someone who does them! In 1979, George Elliott was a homebuilder who wanted better quality materials, so he began to stock his own products for his growing business. Soon, colleagues saw what George had in his own personal inventory and started to ask if they could buy from him. Eventually, that evolved into a retail lumber business, serving not only the needs of local contractors, but the community. In 1998, we joined True Value, which gave us greater access to a bigger inventory of products at more competitive prices. Today, WoodMart thrives because of the quality philosophy started by George … if you’re gonna do it, do it right, with the right materials. We keep an eye on the industry and a close ear to what our customers ask for. Our excellent team of building professionals and kitchen and bath designers all have experience and passion and simply love what they do. That means unsurpassed personal service you won`t get at those large chain stores. At WoodMart: • We work with contractors and do-it-yourselfers. • We promise personal service from experienced professionals. • You’ll have access to the latest products and a huge inventory. • You won’t pay more … ever!

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Hard materials like wood or vinyl flooring on stairs can look great but can also be slippery, posing a risk of injury. On the other hand, carpet often has much more traction, is a lot softer and cushioned, and is still aesthetically pleasing. With all this in mind, carpet is the ideal choice for stairs. 

Laminate flooring is susceptible to expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations. In the summer, laminate flooring is more likely to expand, possibly giving it a crowned or warped look. In the winter, when temperatures fall, the flooring can contract, revealing gaps between the boards. This is normal and should be expected when you install laminate flooring.

If you’re doing a full bathroom remodel, the flooring will go in before the vanity and any other bathroom cabinetry. This will ensure that the same floor is present across your whole bathroom should you ever tear out your vanity and start again. 

If you can only budget for one or the other, you can still replace just the vanity in your bathroom. Just keep in mind that if you decide to replace your flooring later, you’ll need to tear out the vanity to avoid having mismatched floors.

There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. 

Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it’s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. 

Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. 

The type of flooring you plan to install will determine if it goes in before or after the cabinets. It's okay to swap the order in many cases. However, hardwood floors, sheet materials, and tile often go down before the cabinets go in. Floating floors like laminate or luxury vinyl planking should go down after the cabinets are in place.
