Everything you need to know about Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring and our installation process.

LVP is renowned for its durability, water resistance, and versatility in design. It mimics the appearance of natural wood or stone at a more affordable price point, and it's built to withstand heavy traffic, spills, and stains — ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful floor.

When properly installed and maintained, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring can last up to 20 years or more. Its layered construction and protective top layer contribute to its longevity, making it a wise investment for any home.

Absolutely! LVP flooring is an excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens due to its water-resistant properties. It can handle moisture and spills, making it practical for areas where water is frequently present.

Maintaining LVP flooring is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner will keep your floors looking new. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers to preserve the surface finish.

We typically aim to complete each room in a day, including old floor removal and furniture relocation. The full turnaround depends on the specific square footage and layout, which we'll review during your consultation.
