What LVP flooring installation involves
Luxury vinyl plank is a vinyl floor made to look like wood. It comes in planks, and most of it either clicks together and floats over the subfloor or gets glued down. It holds up well to everyday wear, and it handles spills and moisture better than many other floors.
A typical LVP install starts with clearing the room and getting the old flooring and trim out of the way. The subfloor has to be flat, clean, and dry, because LVP shows dips and bumps underneath it. Then the planks go down, and the trim and fixtures go back in.
It might be time to call about LVP if your carpet is worn or stained, your old sheet vinyl is peeling or curling, or you want a wood look in a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or basement where solid hardwood isn't a good fit. We install LVP for homeowners in McAlisterville and the surrounding area.
How we handle your LVP install
We're a hardwood floor company first. Installing, sanding, refinishing, staining, clean and recoat, and staircases are what we've built our business on, and we've started installing LVP flooring too. If you're trying to decide between hardwood and LVP for a room, we install both, so you can call us about either one.
We respect your home and your time. We move the appliances and furniture, and we take up toilets and trim when needed. That way you're not stuck emptying the room before we get there.

Questions we hear
Is LVP flooring waterproof?
Many LVP products are rated water-resistant or waterproof, so they handle spills and damp areas better than hardwood. How much water a floor can take depends on the product, so check the manufacturer's rating for the one you're looking at.
Can LVP be installed in a basement?
Usually, yes. LVP is a popular basement choice because it handles moisture better than solid hardwood. The concrete still needs to be flat, and moisture coming up through it should be dealt with first.
Can LVP go over my existing floor?
Sometimes. Many LVP products can go over a flat, solid floor like old vinyl or tile, but carpet has to come up first. What's allowed depends on the product's installation instructions and the condition of the floor underneath.
Do I need to move my furniture before you come?
No. We move the appliances and furniture, and we take up toilets and trim when needed.
Do you install hardwood too?
Yes. Hardwood is our main work. We install, sand, refinish, stain, and repair hardwood floors, refinish staircases, and do clean and recoats, along with LVP installation.
