Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Choosing new flooring can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you are comparing styles, materials, colors, durability, and budget all at once. Our team can help you narrow down your options based on how each room is used, how much foot traffic it gets, and the look you want for your home.

At 3 Kings Flooring, you can visit our flooring store in Fort Wayne to see samples in person and talk through your goals with an experienced team. Whether you are updating one room or planning a larger project, we can help you compare products, understand the installation process, and choose the right flooring for your space.

Once you are ready, our team can also help with measurements, product selection, and flooring installation so the process feels clear from start to finish.

The best flooring for your space depends on how the room is used, how much foot traffic it gets, the level of maintenance you prefer, and the overall look you want for your home. A bedroom may call for a softer option like carpet, while a kitchen, entryway, or living area may need something more durable and easier to clean.

From carpet to hardwood flooring, engineered flooring, vinyl, and other options, there are many materials to compare. Our team can walk you through the benefits of each choice, explain what works best for different areas of the home, and help you feel confident before moving forward with your flooring installation.

Call us today or visit our showroom to get help choosing the right flooring for your space.

We handle both. From your first flooring consultation through final installation, the same team helps you choose the right material and then installs it, whether that's carpet, hardwood, LVP, laminate, or tile. No need to find a separate installer or coordinate between two companies. If you buy tile from us, we install it too.

One of our experts visits your home to assess foot traffic, moisture exposure, lighting, and style, since flooring can look different at home than in our showroom. We'll take preliminary measurements and answer budget questions, with no obligation to buy. Prefer to skip the home visit? Stop by our showroom at 9030 Lima Road to compare samples in person instead.

Yes. We install carpet, hardwood, LVP, laminate, and tile for homeowners throughout Fort Wayne and the surrounding area. Most projects are completed by our own in-house crew, no subcontractors. Timelines depend on room size, material, and whether old flooring needs removal first.

3 Kings Flooring both sells and installs tile, so you don't need to track down a separate installer who lays tile near you. Our own team handles the whole job, from measuring your space and checking subfloor conditions to the final install. Buying the tile and getting it installed through one company also means fewer scheduling headaches and no mismatched expectations between a retailer and a third-party installer.

Vinyl wood plank flooring, also known as LVP, is vinyl flooring made in individual planks designed to closely resemble real hardwood. It has a fully waterproof core, which makes it a strong choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and other moisture-prone areas where real wood wouldn't hold up. It's also generally more affordable and easier to maintain than hardwood, while still giving you a similar look underfoot.

LVP stands for Luxury Vinyl Plank, a type of vinyl flooring built to mimic the look of hardwood without the moisture concerns. Its waterproof core makes it a popular pick for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, and it tends to be more budget-friendly and lower-maintenance than real wood. We carry several LVP collections in our Perfect Home Flooring line, with options that vary in thickness and style.

Every hardwood install starts with checking subfloor conditions and letting the wood acclimate to your home's humidity before it's laid, since hardwood expands and contracts with temperature and moisture changes. From there our in-house crew handles everything from layout and fastening to trim and transitions, so you're not coordinating between a separate seller and installer. Timelines vary by square footage and whether old flooring needs to come out first. Call us or stop by our showroom and we can walk you through what your specific space would need.

From your first consultation through the final walkthrough, the same team handles material selection, measurements, and installation. Whether that's carpet, hardwood, LVP, laminate, or tile. No subcontractors, no coordinating between a retailer and a separate installer.

Yes. LVP installation is one of the most common projects our in house crew handles throughout Fort Wayne and the surrounding area. Because it's a floating or glue down install depending on the product, subfloor prep matters more than with some other materials, which our team checks before we start. No subcontractors, and no need to search separately for an installer once you've picked your flooring.

Cost depends on the material you choose, the size of the space, and whether old flooring needs to come out first, so it's tough to give an accurate number without seeing the room. The best way to get a real figure is a free in home consultation or a visit to our showroom, where we can walk through your space and give you a clear estimate before you commit to anything.

Most single room projects are completed in a day or two, while larger or multi room jobs can take longer depending on the material and whether removal of old flooring is needed. Hardwood and tile generally take more time than carpet or vinyl because of subfloor prep and acclimation. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific project.

Yes. We partner with Wells Fargo to offer flexible financing options so you can get the flooring you want without paying the full cost upfront. Ask our team about current offers during your consultation or visit.

Care varies by material. Carpet generally needs regular vacuuming and prompt attention to spills, while hardwood and laminate do best with sweeping or dry mopping and avoiding excess water. Tile and LVP are the easiest to maintain day to day. We'll walk you through the specific care routine for whatever you choose so it holds up for years to come.

Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood combines a real wood surface with layered construction underneath. Both provide the appearance and character of natural wood, but engineered hardwood offers greater stability in areas affected by moisture or humidity. Our team can help you compare hardwood flooring options for your Fort Wayne home.

Laminate flooring is durable, easy to maintain, and available in styles that resemble natural hardwood. Its resistance to scratches and everyday wear makes it a practical option for active households, including homes with children or pets. We carry laminate flooring in Fort Wayne and can help you compare it with hardwood and LVP.

Consider the room’s foot traffic, desired softness, stain resistance, fiber type, and padding. Bedrooms may benefit from a softer carpet, while hallways and family rooms usually require something built for heavier use. Visit our carpet store in Fort Wayne to compare colors, textures, and performance options in person.

Yes. Tile can be used for floors, showers, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls. Because not every tile is rated for every application, our team can help you choose the proper ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile and complete the installation.

Working with a flooring store that handles installation gives you one team for product selection, measurements, preparation, scheduling, and installation. Some flooring retailers only sell materials, which leaves the homeowner responsible for finding a separate installer. We provide flooring products and professional flooring installation throughout the Fort Wayne area.
