Project overview

The goal, materials, and finished scope.

In August 2026, Floors Now completed a coordinated four-hour carpet and runner project in a Vernon home being prepared for sale. After removing the old carpet from the guest bedroom, the team installed Engineered Floors Trendsetter II in Sageview. The same visit included 31-inch Ancient Garden runners in Soft Grey across 12 stairs and the hallway. The stair runner was fitted using the waterfall method, and the hallway runner received serged edge finishing. The finished work refreshed all three areas ahead of the planned move and home listing.
