Vinyl Flooring Options Available
Luxury Vinyl Planks
LVP is a popular choice for its realistic wood-like appearance combined with waterproof construction. These planks feature advanced wear layers that resist scratches, stains, and dents, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with pets or children.
LVP comes in various thickness levels, typically between 4mm to 8mm, often with added underlayment for sound reduction and comfort. The rigid core technology in many LVP products ensures increased stability and durability without sacrificing the authentic look of natural wood.
Vinyl Sheets
Vinyl sheets consist of wide, continuous rolls that cover entire rooms with minimal seams. This option provides excellent water resistance and ease of cleaning, which is beneficial for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
Sheet vinyl offers a smooth surface with many design patterns, ranging from stone and tile looks to abstract patterns. Installation requires careful cutting and fitting but results in a nearly seamless finish that helps prevent water infiltration and dirt buildup in seams.
Vinyl Planks
Vinyl planks are similar to LVP but generally offer a more budget-friendly option with solid performance. They may not have the same high-end textures or thickness but still provide a waterproof surface that’s easy to clean and maintain.
These planks are often thinner and more flexible, which can make installation easier in some cases. We recommend vinyl planks for areas where moisture resistance and simple upkeep are priorities, and a realistic wood look is preferred without the extra investment.
Professional Vinyl Flooring Installation Services
We install vinyl flooring with close attention to detail, ensuring a smooth and durable surface. Our process involves careful preparation and precise application tailored to different environments and flooring types.
Subfloor Preparation
A proper subfloor is essential for long-lasting vinyl flooring. We inspect and repair any damage, including cracks or uneven spots, to create a stable base.
We clean and level the surface thoroughly before installation. This step prevents future issues like warping or gaps.
Depending on the vinyl type—whether luxury vinyl planks or standard vinyl sheets—we use appropriate adhesives or underlayments. This supports durability and improves comfort underfoot.
Residential Vinyl Flooring
In homes, we focus on both aesthetics and functionality. Luxury vinyl planks are popular for kitchens and bathrooms due to their water resistance.
Our team custom fits each plank or sheet to your space, working around fixtures and corners with precision.
We ensure minimum disruption during installation, typically completing kitchens or bathrooms within several hours, depending on the room size and preparation required.
Commercial Vinyl Flooring
Commercial spaces require flooring that balances durability with style. We install vinyl flooring that withstands heavy foot traffic and resists stains.
We often use thicker luxury vinyl planks to handle more intense daily use, maintaining a professional look over time.
Our commercial installations adhere to strict schedules to minimize downtime, with careful subfloor preparation critical for longevity under demanding conditions.

Vinyl Flooring FAQs
How much does vinyl flooring installation cost?
Vinyl flooring installation typically costs $4-9 per square foot including materials and labor. Basic sheet vinyl starts around $4-5 per square foot, while premium luxury vinyl plank (LVP) can reach $7-9 per square foot. Factors affecting cost include vinyl type, subfloor preparation needs, room size, and installation complexity. We provide free estimates to give you accurate pricing based on your specific project requirements.
What's the best vinyl flooring for kitchens?
LVP or LVT with rigid core construction is best for kitchens. Look for 100% waterproof options with wear layers of at least 12 mil for durability against spills, scratches, and heavy foot traffic. We recommend click-lock installation for easy maintenance and potential future replacement. Textured surfaces provide better slip resistance around sinks and cooking areas.
How long does vinyl flooring installation take?
Most vinyl installations take 1-3 days depending on room size and type. Simple sheet vinyl installations can be completed in one day for average rooms, while luxury vinyl plank projects typically take 2-3 days including subfloor preparation and acclimation time. Whole-house installations may take 3-5 days depending on square footage and complexity.
Can you install vinyl flooring over existing floors?
Yes, vinyl can be installed over most existing flooring if it's level, clean, and structurally sound. We can install over concrete, plywood, existing vinyl, and some tile surfaces. However, carpet and damaged flooring must be removed first. The existing surface needs proper preparation to prevent telegraphing and ensure long-lasting results.
What's the difference between LVP and LVT flooring?
LVP mimics hardwood with rectangular plank shapes, while LVT replicates stone or ceramic tile in square formats. Both offer the same waterproof construction and durability, but LVP is more popular for living areas and bedrooms, while LVT works well in bathrooms and kitchens. The installation methods and performance characteristics are essentially identical.
