Choosing the right flooring for your home in Massachusetts or New Hampshire isn’t just about looks — it’s about durability, comfort, climate resistance, and long-term value.
With New England’s changing seasons, moisture, pets, and busy households, many homeowners end up replacing floors sooner than expected simply because they chose the wrong material.
At Teos Flooring, we’ve installed thousands of square feet of flooring across New England homes, and in this guide, we’ll break down the best flooring options for our local climate — so you can make the right choice the first time.
1. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Best Overall Choice for New England Homes
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is one of the most popular flooring choices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire — and for good reason.
Why homeowners love vinyl flooring:
100% waterproof
Extremely scratch-resistant
Ideal for pets, kids, kitchens, and basements
Comfortable underfoot
Looks like real hardwood without the maintenance
👉 Perfect for condos, single-family homes, rentals, and finished basements.
Local insight:We recently installed waterproof vinyl flooring in a home in Manchester, NH, where seasonal humidity was a big concern. The homeowner now enjoys a beautiful wood-look floor without worrying about moisture damage.
2. Hardwood Flooring: Timeless Beauty & Home Value
Hardwood flooring never goes out of style and continues to be one of the best ways to increase home value in New England.
Pros:
Natural, elegant appearance
Long lifespan
Can be refinished multiple times
Strong resale appeal
Things to consider:
Not ideal for high-moisture areas
Requires climate control to prevent expansion or gaps
👉 Best for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms.
3. Engineered Hardwood: Style + Stability
Engineered hardwood is an excellent alternative for New England homeowners who want real wood with better moisture resistance.
Why choose engineered wood?
Real hardwood top layer
More stable than solid hardwood

👉 Ideal for homes with varying humidity levels.
4. Laminate Flooring: Budget-Friendly & Stylish
Laminate flooring is a great option for homeowners looking for style on a budget.
Benefits:
