After years of being used as a rental, the Nelson’s Corpus Christi property was ready for a refresh. The home, outfitted with 13-year-old carpet and builder-grade vinyl plank flooring, was showing its age. But with her husband preparing to retire from the military, Vivienne saw an opportunity to reclaim the space—not just as a house, but as a home for their final year in Texas.
“This property had been a rental for the last six years. We wanted to renovate it for ourselves, but we also had a terrible experience installing tile in our first home and didn’t want to go that route again,” Vivienne shared.
Instead, Vivienne turned to Flooret, searching online for high-quality flooring that didn’t come with a premium price tag. Their goal? A floor that looked and felt beautiful, could be professionally installed without hassle, and would completely transform the space.
Choosing Nakan: A Feel-Good Finish
Vivienne chose Nakan Base from the Modin LVP collection, a soft and sophisticated hue that immediately elevated the home’s traditional design style. The couple also opted for Flooret’s Worry-Free Installation Service to make the process as smooth as possible.
“To say that we love the floors would be a massive understatement,” she said. “The floors are beautiful and feel great underfoot. We’re so happy with our color choice—and the best part is how easy they are to clean!”
A Smooth Experience, From Start to Finish
With Flooret’s Worry-Free Installation Service, the Nelsons didn’t just get beautiful floors, they got peace of mind.
“We had a fantastic experience using Flooret for our installation. Hector and his team were on time and very professional. Communicating with Justyn to set up the installation was so easy, and he was always so quick to respond,” Vivienne shared.
That same level of care extended from start to finish, from placing the initial order with Ryan to the final walkthrough with the install team. Every detail was handled with clarity, professionalism, and a true commitment to service.
A House That Feels Like Home
After repainting the walls in Sherwin-Williams Eider White, the couple enjoyed a quiet moment that captured everything they had worked toward.
“My favorite memory is sitting down at our dinner table the very first night in our house after completely repainting it and having the floors installed.”
And they’re not the only ones impressed. According to Vivienne, guests can’t get over how stunning the floors look in person.
“Jaws drop when people see the new floors. Everyone loves the color and the way they look.”
Looking Ahead
Though this home was only meant to be a one-year stop before retirement, Vivienne and her husband now have a space that feels like it was made for them, thanks in large part to the floors that pulled everything together.
“We will absolutely use Flooret in the future for any home projects.”
