Clients often approach us to work on floor replacement projects. While replacing floors in your home can be time-consuming and disruptive, it’s certainly worth the inconvenience for updated floors… that will last for many years to come.

At ALE Renovations, we always recommend taking a look at your top one to two needs, and making a decision based on the best flooring option available for your needs. While flooring trends come and go, we think these these flooring trend options will be around for years to come and remain flooring trends for 2025 remodels in Houston, Texas.

Hardwood Floors

There’s a reason hardwood floors have been “trending” for decades! They’re timeless, durable and a beautiful flooring option - you cannot go wrong with them. Hardwood floor types include: Solid Hardwood, Engineered wood, Rigid Core Bamboo flooring, Bleached and distressed woods.

We regularly work with engineered wood. It’s a hardwood product made of compressed wood, plywood and fiberboard with wood veneer, and it offers increased water resistance - something extremely important to many customers within the Houston-area. Engineered wood floors are often more cost-effective than solid hardwood floors as well. We love how hardwood floors can be unique to a home, as stains vary and can even be custom-made for your remodeling project.

Tile Flooring

Another flooring trend that ebbs and flows with popularity, tile flooring is a great and cost-effective flooring option, depending on the material. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is made to look like hardwoods, without the maintenance. We love the Luxury Vinyl Tile options at Arizona Tile, and have worked with the product for a number of Houston-area renovation projects.

Concrete-look tile and designer tile shapes are also continuing to be trending flooring options. Concrete-look tile is a popular choice for a modern or industrial design aesthetic, whereas designer tile shapes such as hexagons, fans or arabesque shapes are extremely popular flooring options for laundry rooms, powder bathrooms or mudrooms.

Large format tiles with minimal grout lines are a growing flooring trend we’ve seen throughout the years. Stone-look tile are often large format tiles we install for our Houston-area clients in outdoor patio spaces or around pool decks.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP Flooring)

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and its counterpart Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) both continue to grow in popularity thanks to its durability and price. We love to recommend LVP for Houston-area homes, as it’s a waterproof flooring option.

Because real hardwood floors need maintenance, can be expensive, and easily susceptible to scratches or water damage, Luxury Vinyl Plank is an option many homeowners turn to for their flooring needs. LVP is a top flooring trend because it’s 100% waterproof (again, great for Houston homes), and extremely durable (especially for children and pets). It’s available at a variety of price points and finishes.

There are many flooring options to choose from! Don’t feel overwhelmed by the selection process. Let our team at ALE Renovations, in Houston, Texas, guide you through the process. Get in touch with us today to schedule a consult.
