Professional LVP installation

Today's luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile products like COREtec, LifeProof, and Shaw luxury vinyl are engineered to look exactly like real hardwood flooring while being 100% waterproof and scratch-resistant for busy families with kids and pets. The key to professional LVP flooring installation is understanding that even though it's a floating floor system, proper subfloor preparation is still critical – we check for level within 3/16" over 10 feet, fix squeaky spots, and use moisture barriers when needed because luxury vinyl plank installation done wrong will show every imperfection in your subfloor through telegraphing and premature wear patterns. Whether you're getting rigid core LVP that clicks together with no glue, or glue-down luxury vinyl planks for commercial applications, the installation techniques are completely different from hardwood flooring but require the same attention to detail for expansion gaps, transition strips, and door undercuts. Most homeowners choose luxury vinyl flooring because it gives them that beautiful hardwood look in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where real wood would warp or get damaged, and when we install LVP correctly using proper acclimation time and the right underlayment, it performs flawlessly for 20+ years while looking so realistic that visitors can't tell the difference from genuine hardwood floors.
