Did you love your flooring so much the first time that you’re ready to order more? Whether you're expanding a room, repairing a section, or simply continuing a beautiful design throughout your home, there are a few things you should know before reordering flooring you purchased years ago.


If you tell us it’s a repeat order, we can help ensure your new flooring blends perfectly with what’s already installed. Here’s why it’s important to let us know—and how it helps make your flooring project smooth and stress-free.


1. We’ll Ensure a Perfect Match

Over the years, flooring styles, finishes, and manufacturing processes can change. Letting us know that you're reordering gives us the chance to verify if the exact product you purchased is still available. If it isn’t, we can help you find the closest possible match so your floor looks just the way you want.


2. We Can Avoid Color Variations

Even when a product is still available, there can be slight differences in color or texture between manufacturing batches, known as “dye lot variations.” If we know you're matching an older floor, we can check for consistency to make sure your new flooring blends seamlessly with the original.


3. Save Time and Eliminate Guesswork

If it’s been a few years since you purchased your floor, you might not have all the product details at your fingertips—and that’s okay! When you let us know it’s a repeat order, we can help track down the exact product or details, saving you time and effort.


4. We’ll Help Your Floors Look Seamless

When adding flooring next to an existing installation, there are often ways to create a flawless transition. By knowing it’s a continuation of your older floor, we can suggest solutions such as transition strips, refinishing tips, or specific installation techniques to ensure the final result looks stunning.


5. We’ll Keep You Informed

If the flooring you originally purchased has been discontinued, it’s better to know sooner rather than later. When you give us the heads-up, we’ll let you know upfront and work with you to find the best alternative, whether that’s a similar product or a creative solution to integrate the new and old flooring.


Let’s Make It Easy

Your flooring is a big part of what makes your home feel like home, and we’re here to help you make every project a success. If you’re ready to order more flooring, just let us know it’s a repeat purchase, and we’ll do the rest—making sure your new order matches your vision.
