​www.tgfloors.com/​www.tgfloors.com/Choosing new flooring is exciting — but with so many options, it can get overwhelming. Should you go with tile? Laminate? LVP? Each type has its pros and cons. At Talamantez Group, we help homeowners across Cibolo and San Antonio pick the right flooring based on lifestyle, budget, and design goals. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide.
⸻
🔹 Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Best for:
Busy households, families with pets, moisture-prone areas (kitchen, bath, laundry)
Pros:
    •    100% waterproof
    •    Scratch-resistant & durable
    •    Looks like wood, stone, or tile
    •    Softer underfoot than tile
    •    Budget-friendly


Watch for:
    •    Needs a smooth, level subfloor
    •    Low-end brands may feel “plasticky”
🛠 We prep your subfloor and install LVP with precision — no gaps, bubbles, or buckling.
⸻
🔹 Laminate Flooring
Best for:
Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways — where moisture is low
Pros:
    •    Affordable and stylish
    •    Easy to clean
    •    Click-lock installation
    •    Great wood textures and designs
Watch for:
    •    Not waterproof (avoid in bathrooms)
    •    Can chip or swell if exposed to standing water
🧼 We install high-quality, water-resistant laminate with proper underlayment and trim for a clean finish.
⸻
🔹 Porcelain or Ceramic Tile
Best for:
Bathrooms, kitchens, patios, high-traffic areas
Pros:
    •    Longest lifespan of any flooring
    •    Waterproof, stain-resistant, pet-proof
    •    Beautiful design options
    •    Great for radiant heating or outdoor spaces
Watch for:
    •    Cold/hard underfoot
    •    Requires expert prep & layout
    •    Cracks if installed over uneven surfaces
💨 Our team uses dust-free removal and subfloor leveling to ensure your tile sits flush and stays put for years.
🏠 Which One Should You Choose?
It depends on:
    •    Where it’s going
    •    How it will be used
    •    What look you want
    •    How much maintenance you’re okay with
Don’t worry — we’ll walk you through your options and help you pick what works for your home, budget, and lifestyle.
