The problem
The bones are right, but the floor dates the whole room — worn carpet, pink grout, a tile the seller chose in 1998. Flooring replacement renders the floor the buyer would put in, so the photo shows the room's potential without ripping up a single board.
Hardwood, laminate, tile, luxury vinyl, carpet, polished concrete, or natural stone — the new surface follows the room's perspective, meets the baseboard cleanly, and carries the same furniture and shadows it photographed with.
The standard
- The floor obeys the room's perspective — planks, grout, and grain converge to the same vanishing point as the original.
- Furniture, rugs, and their contact shadows stay put. The new floor fills the gaps around them, never paints over them.
- Walls, trim, and baseboards keep their colour and material — the new floor meets them with a clean, straight edge.
The handoff
Hi-res JPG paired with the original, so you can show the seller the before and the potential side by side. The manifest notes which material the floor was rendered in.
Companion tools
Flooring replacement belongs to the Walls, floors & renovation group — the room is right, the floor lets it down. Companion tools handle the other one-pass refreshes on the same room.
