As the year comes to a close, many families start looking around their homes, thinking about what they want to improve in the new year. For some, it’s finally replacing old carpet. For others, it’s upgrading to waterproof flooring that can handle kids, pets, spills, and the chaos of everyday life. And for many homeowners across Upland, Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga it’s simply time for something fresh—a floor that makes their home feel new again.
At Perry Floors, we’ve spent the entire year installing and supplying the very best products from leading manufacturers like Mohawk, Shaw, Diamond W and more. And as 2025 comes to an end, we’re seeing clear trends, customer needs, and the flooring options that truly bring value, comfort, and durability into the home.
Here’s our official end-of-year flooring guide to help you choose what’s right for your home and your family.
1. Waterproof Flooring Still Leads the Way
Whether it’s SPC vinyl, Mohawks Hybrid PureTech, or Cali Vinyl WPC, homeowners continue to choose waterproof flooring for peace of mind. With thicker floors and better lock systems this floors will hold up!
Why it’s trending:
100% waterproof
Pet-proof and kid-friendly
Strong locking systems (thicker cores = fewer failures)
Beautiful wood and stone visuals
Perfect for open-concept homes
2025 Note:
Thinner vinyl (4.5-6.0mm) continues to fail in many homes. This year, almost all customers either upgraded or asked directly for thicker, more stable waterproof options. Perry Floors proudly sells and installs these higher-quality lines.
2. Carpet Is Making a Comeback in Bedrooms & Family Spaces
More families are returning to carpet for warmth, comfort, and noise reduction.
End-of-year carpet favorites:
Mohawk SmartStrand – stain-proof, pet-proof
Shaw Pet Perfect – great for busy homes
Soft plush carpets – trending for primary bedrooms
Don’t forget the padding:
This year we’ve installed more ½” 8lb carpet pad and memory foam pad than ever before. Customers love the comfort underfoot, especially in bedrooms. For durability and softness, it’s the best upgrade you can make.
3. Hardwood & Engineered Wood Are Still Luxury Favorites
If you want a timeless, high-value upgrade going into the new year, engineered hardwood delivers.
Why homeowners love it:
Natural beauty
Adds value
Long-lasting
Works with many home styles—from modern to rustic
We installed a lot of warm, mid-tone woods this year. Lighter tones are still strong, but rich natural colors are returning.
4. Tile Floors & Showers: The Clean, Modern Upgrade
Tile continues to dominate bathrooms, showers, and high-moisture areas.
2025 tile trends:
Large format porcelain
Marble and stone looks
Matte finishes
Vertical stack shower tile layouts
Matching shower floors & niches
Our installers have completed hundreds of showers this year, and the biggest trend we’ve seen is clean simplicity—less grout, bigger tile, sleek lines.
5. Countertops: Quartzite Takes the Lead
Whether it’s a full remodel or just refreshing the kitchen, countertop upgrades surged this year.
Everyday favorites:
Quartz for durability and beauty
Granite for natural movement and heat resistance
Quartzite for strength and elegance
Prefab countertops for budget-friendly remodels
Full slabs for custom kitchens
White with subtle veins remains the top choice going into 2026.
6. End-of-Year Buying Tip: Warranties Matter
One thing we’ve emphasized all year—and will continue into next year—is buying flooring with strong manufacturer warranties.
We work directly with major manufacturers, so we provide:
Full product warranties
Quality-verified materials
Trusted installation
Direct-to-consumer options with warehouse pickup and factory-direct pricing
Families feel better when they know the product is supported for years to come.
7. Looking Ahead: What’s Coming in 2026
Here’s what we expect to see early next year:
Even more waterproof hybrid products like PureTech
Thicker SPC cores becoming standard
Soft carpets with built-in pet protection
Natural wood tones returning
Quartzite countertop demand continuing to rise
Increased use of local manufacturing (Big D Diamond W and other California partners)
Perry Floors is already prepared for these trends.
