1. Waterproof Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Still the top choice and for good reason. LVP gives you that beautiful wood look without the worry. It stands up to pets, kids, and life’s daily messes while being easy to clean and maintain.
One of the biggest reasons Fredericksburg homeowners love LVP is its waterproof technology. You can install it in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements without worrying about moisture or spills.
Why homeowners love LVP:
• Waterproof & durable for busy families
• Affordable and stylish
• Quick, easy installation
Because it’s affordable, durable, and quick to install, LVP continues to be our number one request. It’s truly the perfect combination of style and functionality.
2. Cozy, Textured Carpets
Carpet is making a cozy comeback, especially for bedrooms, playrooms, and family spaces. Homeowners are leaning toward warm, inviting textures that make you want to kick your shoes off and stay awhile.
Popular styles include soft frieze, patterned cut-and-loop, and plush carpets; all designed for softness and durability. Modern carpet technology now offers improved stain resistance, so muddy paws and spilled drinks aren’t a dealbreaker anymore.
Color trends: creamy beige, light grey, and soft taupe are perfect for a peaceful, relaxed vibe that fits almost any décor.
3. Light and Natural Wood Tones
If you love the timeless look of hardwood, lighter tones are the trend right now. Homeowners are moving away from dark, heavy finishes and embracing natural, airy wood tones like soft oaks, ash, and blonde hues.
These lighter shades help brighten rooms, make spaces feel larger, and do a better job of hiding dirt and scratches; a big win for families and pet owners.
We’re seeing this look pop up everywhere, from new builds in Spotsylvania and Caroline County to historic Fredericksburg homes getting a modern update. Whether you choose real hardwood or LVP that mimics it, these light tones are here to stay.
4. Patterned Stair Runners
This one has taken off, and for good reason! Patterned stair runners not only add character but also improve safety by reducing slips for kids and pets.
Homeowners are getting creative with patterns from subtle herringbones to bold geometrics. It’s a simple, budget-friendly way to make your stairs feel like a design statement instead of just a necessity.
Customer favorite: We’ve installed several recently, and homeowners are always amazed at how much a runner transforms their whole space!
5. Mixed Flooring Style
Gone are the days when every room had to match. Today’s homeowners love mixing materials to create more personalized spaces that flow together beautifully.
Think LVP in the kitchen, carpet in the bedrooms, and tile in the bathrooms. This combination not only gives each room its own personality while still feeling cohesive.
Our team helps customers choose coordinating tomes and textures to keep everything tied together seamlessly, so your home feels unified never feels boring.
Real-Life Example : Fixing a Tough Floor Issue in Stafford County
We recently worked with a nearby customer in Stafford County who had gaps forming in their rigid core LVT kitchen floor, installed by another company. As soon as we took a look, we knew the culprit: a subfloor issue.
After removing the old floor, we discovered the plywood had loosened due to the home’s hilly location. We secured it properly, added a layer of Durock for stability, and installed new Novalis rigid core LVT.
That was three years ago and that floor is still holding up beautifully.
