Flooring Resources & Learning Center

The Best Decisions Come From the Best Information

Choosing flooring is easy, but choosing the right flooring isn’t. With so many materials, styles and opinions online, it’s hard to know what to believe. That’s why Hamernick’s is here to provide the clear, honest information you need. Let us break down your options so you can choose the perfect flooring for your home, family and budget.

The guides, blog posts and FAQs in our learning center are backed by nearly 80 years of flooring experience. Having installed thousands of floors across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, we understand which flooring products are worth the investment and which ones will cause problems down the road. Everything here is based on real knowledge from people who’ve been providing flooring solutions since 1947.

Still have questions? Our team is here to help. Which flooring is best for pets? Should you use LVP or laminate in your basement? Do you need to refinish or replace your hardwood flooring? Call us, visit one of our showrooms or book a free in-home consultation. Our team is more than happy to bring samples directly to your doorstep and walk you through your options in the comfort of your own space. 

What We Offer

Flooring Guides

No two flooring products are alike. In our flooring guides, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about each product inside and out. From comparing LVP to laminate to understanding how hardwood is constructed and finished, we dive into materials, durability ratings, moisture resistance and what fits different rooms of your home. These resources are here to help you understand your options before you book that quote. 

Blog

Find what you need to know in our latest blog posts! We discuss everything from the latest flooring trends to the maintenance advice you need to help your floors last for years to come. Read on to learn more about budget-friendly options for families, installation costs, caring for hardwood and carpet and design trends without sacrificing timeless style. Still thinking about buying flooring or ready to make a decision? Our blog has you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Over nearly eight decades, we’ve heard just about every flooring question there is and we’re more than happy to answer them. Our FAQ page gives you all the answers you need in one place. How do I protect my carpet from stains? What’s the difference between prefinished and site-finished hardwood? If you ask, we answer. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you’re more than welcome to reach out. 

Product Quizzes & Selection Tools

If it’s your first time buying flooring, you might not know where to start. You aren’t the only one. The right flooring for your neighbor might not be a good fit for your family. Our quizzes and selection tools can help you narrow down your choices based on your lifestyle, your home’s conditions and what’s important to you. It’s a great way to get a general idea of what you’re looking for before booking a consultation with our team.
