In Part 2 of this special live broadcast, Ray Terry continues the conversation with Tegan Statham of Floor Coverings International Southeast Charlotte, diving deeper into flooring realities homeowners don’t always think about — until there’s a problem.

This episode goes beyond style and design and into what truly impacts your floors: moisture, crawl spaces, concrete slabs, ventilation, and proper installation. Ray shares real-world stories about cupping hardwood, water intrusion, mold concerns, and why your flooring issue may actually be a foundation or moisture problem underneath your home.

Tegan explains:

• The difference between installing flooring on slabs vs. crawl spaces • Why engineered hardwood is often required on concrete • How moisture affects hardwood performance • When carpet makes sense (yes — it’s making a comeback) • Stair treads, custom rugs, refinishing, and commercial projects • Why project management prevents costly installation mistakes

The conversation also expands into skilled trades, problem-solving, and why hands-on knowledge still matters in an AI-driven world. From bathroom ventilation tips to real-life crawl space horror stories, this episode is packed with practical insight homeowners can actually use.

If you own a home in the Charlotte area — or plan to renovate — Part 2 delivers honest advice about flooring, moisture control, and making smart long-term decisions.
