Replacing flooring throughout our St. Albert home before listing it
Selling our house in St. Albert next spring and the flooring is the one thing holding back the whole look. Carpet in the bedrooms is original from 2004 and the kitchen laminate is lifting at the seams. Trying to decide what materials make the most sense for resale value in this area specifically. Anyone recently sold in St. Albert and found certain flooring choices made a noticeable difference to buyers?

Replaced flooring before listing our St. Albert home last fall and it genuinely changed how fast the place moved. Realtor told us beforehand that dated carpet is one of the top things buyers mentally deduct from their offer even if everything else looks good. We went with luxury vinyl plank throughout the main floor and neutral carpet in bedrooms only, kept the budget reasonable and the visual difference in listing photos was dramatic. Kitchen flooring specifically matters a lot because buyers spend the most time visualizing that space. Lifting laminate reads as neglect regardless of how solid everything else is. Budget roughly $8–15k depending on square footage for a full flooring refresh before listing. Flooring Company in Edmonton, AB helped us figure out what materials were trending locally and what actually appealed to St. Albert buyers specifically rather than just picking whatever was cheapest. Neutral tones and consistent flooring throughout the main level made the biggest difference for us.
