Flooring replacements vary based on type, manufacturer, use, and care.
Some carpets can last over 10 years, although most start to see signs of replacing between 5 and 7 years. Hardwood floors have one of the longest lifespans, easily over 25 years with proper care. Unfortunately, hardwood floors are easily damaged by pets and moisture, so maintenance is important. If you’re not interested in hardwood, laminate and vinyl flooring can also last over 15 years, sometimes over 20 years with proper care.
