In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a homeowner chose the lowest priced laminate flooring for a quick refresh. Within months, the boards started separating and lifting near the edges.
Flooring installers in the comments explained that the issue was not just the product. The subfloor was uneven and moisture levels were never checked. Better prep would have extended the life of even budget materials.
This kind of shared experience helps others understand that flooring failures are rarely about one bad decision. They are usually a chain of small ones.
