What to prioritize first

If you can only do one thing, replace worn carpet or slick tile with a slip-resistant, low-pile or textured surface and eliminate height differences between rooms.

  • Slip-resistant LVP or textured floor tile in kitchens and entries
  • Low-pile carpet or firm-cushion carpet in bedrooms
  • Flush, low-profile transitions between rooms
  • Removal of loose area rugs and floor clutter
