Planning new flooring in Clarks Summit, PA? Start with your home's age. Clarks Summit has been a borough since 1911, when it was carved out of South Abington Township and named for early settler William Clark. As a result, the borough has a mix of mid-century and historic homes, along with updated homes and new builds.
That difference shows up underfoot. An older home may have original hardwood hiding under carpet, or a subfloor that squeaks or dips after decades of use. In a newer build, the choice comes down to the look you want and how each room gets used.
Either way, it’s easier to decide at home. Floor Coverings International® brings the Mobile Flooring Showroom® to your door, so you can compare carpet, luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, laminate and tile against your own trim and light. In an older home, your Design Associate also looks for signs of what’s underneath and talks through any concerns before you sign. The subfloor itself is checked and prepared once the old floor comes up.

Flooring Choices That Fit Clarks Summit, PA Homes
If your older home has hardwood under carpet, refinishing may bring it back. Quick tip: If you suspect hardwood under your carpet, check a closet corner or a floor vent before your visit. Knowing what's there helps guide our in-home consultation.
For kitchens and finished basements, luxury vinyl plank with a waterproof core handles spills and moisture. Carpet keeps bedrooms warm, and tile suits bathrooms and busy entries.
