You love your Colorado Mountain home. You enjoy the natural beauty and spectacle of the Rocky Mountains and want your home to reflect that. No matter where you live, from Breckenridge to Aspen, Winter Park to Leadville, your Colorado mountain home can be what dreams are made of. However, when choosing the best flooring materials, there are a few things to consider. Here in Summit County and beyond, we deal with extreme weather with large swings in temperature and moisture. Our outdoor activities result in tracked-in dirt and snow.
Choosing the best flooring materials for your Colorado mountain home can be challenging but fun. That’s why at Summit Flooring Source, we’re a mobile business. We can come to your home to look over the wide array of options we have for flooring for your Colorado mountain home. Our professionals offer options while carefully explaining each type of flooring and helping you decide the best fit for you. We discuss how you use your home(vacation, primary residence, rental), what traffic you expect, and your overall style and budget. Some of our customer’s favorite options are as follows:
Carpet
Though some people consider carpet hard to maintain, it can be a comfortable, warm addition to your Colorado mountain home. Taking simple precautions like a mudroom or a tiled entry where boots and shoes can be removed can extend carpeting life.
Carpeting will fit nearly every decor and instantly make you feel warm and comfy. They come in a variety of fibers and weaves and range in price to accommodate most budgets. By cleaning up spills right away and vacuuming regularly, your carpet will stay looking great with an annual steam cleaning.
Laminate
If you love the look of hardwood but would rather consider something more affordable, laminate may be a good option in your Colorado mountain home. Laminate is a wood-based product that looks like hardwood but is more affordable. Laminate comes in a variety of styles and holds up well to stains, scratches, and water. And our customers say our options are beautiful! If you like the cabin-y feel but want something with less maintenance required, consider laminate for its beauty, durability, and easy care.
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood and mountain living seem to go hand-in-hand, and that is why many mountain homeowners choose hardwood flooring. Not only are hardwood floors beautiful, they are durable and are easy to care for. Hardwood flooring is also long-lasting. If you begin to notice wear patterns, simply sand it down and restain.
Many floors go at least twenty years before sanding is needed, and this can be done several times over the life of the floor. This alone gives the hardwood floor a shelf life of up to a century.
The finishes and styles of hardwood flooring make it versatile enough to use in every room, and the improved sealants do not restrict hardwood from being used in kitchens and bathrooms.

- Stonewood
- Provenza
- US Floors
- Greenworld
- DuChateaux
- Shaw
- Mohawk
- Mannington
