Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the top choice for rural homes where ground moisture is a concern — it's 100% waterproof, durable, and looks beautiful. For above-grade rooms, engineered hardwood with moisture-resistant backing is excellent. We always test subfloor moisture before installation and recommend appropriate vapor barriers.

Many vintage farmhouses have wide-plank pine, oak, or maple floors that can be beautifully restored through professional sanding and finishing. We assess board condition, replace any damaged planks with reclaimed wood matches, and apply durable polyurethane finishes that protect while showcasing the wood's character.

Electric in-floor heating mats work well under tile and stone in rural bathrooms and kitchens. For whole-home radiant heating, hydronic systems using a boiler and PEX tubing are more efficient. Both systems provide comfortable, even heat — especially appreciated in older rural homes where drafty floors are common.
