Why homeowners choose LVP
Luxury vinyl plank is a vinyl-based floor that comes in a wide range of wood and stone looks. Many homeowners pick it for kitchens, basements and homes with pets because it is durable and easy to maintain.
Many LVP products are sold as waterproof. That describes the plank itself. Water can still reach the subfloor around the edges, so the right product and installation for the room still matter. We look at both during your estimate.
How we install it
Good LVP depends on what is under it. We check the subfloor for flatness, soft spots and moisture, and fix what needs fixing before the first plank goes down.
We install floating click-lock planks and glue-down vinyl, depending on the product and the room. At the edges we either remove and reinstall the baseboards or add shoe molding to cover the expansion gap. You choose which.
If you have stairs, we can finish them in the same planks with nosing made to match.
Buying your flooring
You buy the flooring from the store of your choice. Before you order, show us the product and we will confirm it suits the room and tell you how much to buy. We plan for 10% extra for cuts and waste, and stairs need more.
What your estimate can include
- Removal and disposal of the existing floor
- Subfloor repairs or leveling, when needed
- Underlayment and moisture barrier where the product requires it
- Baseboards, transitions and trim
- Furniture moving, when requested
Your written estimate lists the work included and anything priced separately. Unexpected conditions under the old floor can change the scope, and any added work is agreed in writing before it starts.

Common questions
Is LVP good for kitchens?
Yes, many LVP products work well in kitchens. The right choice depends on the product, the subfloor and the installation requirements.
Can you install LVP over my existing floor?
Sometimes. It depends on the existing material, its condition and what the new flooring requires. We check this at the estimate.
Can you install over concrete?
Many flooring products can go over properly prepared concrete. Moisture conditions and surface preparation are important, and we assess both.
How do I clean LVP?
Regular sweeping or vacuuming and a cleaner the manufacturer approves. Follow the care instructions for your specific floor.
