Learn before you buy

Buying guides from people who install this stuff

Twenty-five years of showroom questions, answered honestly — materials, comparisons, costs, and Minnesota-specific advice. Read up, then bring your questions to a free designer consultation.

The library

Eight guides, zero sales pitch

Start with the room-by-room guide if you’re early in the project, or jump straight to a comparison.

Beyond the guides

Tools that do the math

Our free project calculator measures rooms, counts tiles and boxes, and ballparks budgets — and the room visualizer previews materials on a photo of your actual space. Bring the results to the showroom and a designer takes it from there.

Ready when you are

Questions a guide can’t answer?

That’s what the showroom is for. Free designer consultations six days a week, walk-ins welcome — bring photos, measurements, or just curiosity.
