What changes the estimate

Carrollton has humid months that reach about 71% humidity, summer highs average about 93F, there are about 84 days above 90F each year, so spring and fall are usually the easiest seasons for flooring installation while hotter summer periods need more attention to acclimation, storage, and jobsite conditions.

What type of flooring is best to install if I want to sell my home in Carrollton?

The plank itself is 100% waterproof — water cannot damage the core or wear layer. However, standing water that sits in seams can eventually reach the subfloor, which is typically not waterproof. 'Waterproof floor' means the product, not the installation.
