Choosing Flooring for South Dakota Homes
Short answer
Choose by room: water-resistant floors for entries, baths and basements; comfortable, durable floors for living areas. Pets and traffic matter as much as style.
Snow, mud and salt
Entries take the worst of winter. Water-resistant, easy-to-clean surfaces hold up best.
Subfloor matters
Even the best product will fail early on an uneven or damp subfloor.
