Before you choose
What decides whether LVP fits your room
LVP is not one interchangeable product. The right quote depends on the room, the subfloor below it, the moisture exposure, the product construction, and how the new floor meets adjoining rooms.
Room and moisture conditions
Kitchens, basements, entries, sunrooms, and living spaces create different risks. The plank material resists surface spills, but the installed floor still needs sound edges, transitions, and a dry subfloor.
Subfloor and installation method
We check flatness, damage, and moisture before deciding whether the floor should float, glue down, or wait for corrective prep. That inspection sets the real scope.
Wear layer and product construction
Wear layer, core type, finish texture, and the manufacturer's room and temperature limits matter more than a generic waterproof label.
Transitions and adjoining floors
Doorways, stairs, cabinets, and neighboring floor heights determine where transitions are needed and whether the installation can run continuously.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LVP waterproof?
The vinyl plank itself resists water, but that does not make the entire installed floor or subfloor floodproof. Water can still reach edges, seams, walls, and the subfloor. We check the room and follow the selected product's installation and warranty limits.
How long does LVP last?
There is no honest universal lifespan. Product construction, wear layer, traffic, cleaning, direct sun, moisture, and installation conditions all affect service life. We help you compare those specifications before the quote is finalized.
Does $6.50/sqft really include everything?
Yes. $6.50 per square foot includes the LVP material, underlayment, professional installation, old flooring removal, furniture moving, and cleanup. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay.
How long does LVP installation take?
Most single rooms are done in one day. A full home (1,000-2,000 sqft) typically takes 1-2 days. We'll give you an exact timeline during your free estimate.
Can LVP be installed over existing flooring?
In some cases, yes. LVP can be installed over existing hard surfaces if they're level and in good condition. We check this during your free in-home estimate and recommend the best approach.
