Built for real life

The floor you put where water, kids and dogs already live

LVP is one of the most popular floors we install, and for good reason. It is waterproof, holds up to daily traffic, and is made to look like real hardwood. It goes where wood usually cannot: kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms. We install LVP across the Kansas City area with clean, precise cuts and a finish that lasts.

What matters

Three things that decide how your LVP holds up

The clear top layer is what takes the beating, and it is the spec that decides how long the floor keeps looking new. Thinner layers are fine for bedrooms and low traffic rooms. Kitchens, entries and homes with dogs call for something thicker. We go over the options with you before anything is ordered.

Free estimate

Some LVP clicks together and floats over the subfloor. Some is glued flat. Which one fits depends on the room, the size of the space and what is underneath. We look at that during the in home measure and tell you what your room needs.

LVP is thin, so it shows whatever is beneath it. Dips, high spots and old adhesive can telegraph through the planks. We look at the subfloor before we give you a number, so there are no surprises once we start.

Step by step

How your LVP is installed

01Old floor out

We pull up the old floor and haul it away. Disposal is always included, so nothing is left in the driveway.

Disposal included
02Subfloor prepared

We check the subfloor is clean, flat and dry. On concrete slabs this step matters most, because moisture comes from below.

Checked first
03Moisture and sound barrier

The barrier goes down on every install. It keeps moisture away from the floor and takes the hollow sound out of the room.

On every install
04Planks and seams

The planks lock together over the barrier, seams and all. That is what makes an LVP floor waterproof and not just water resistant. Then trim at the doorways, and we walk the rooms with you.

Waterproof, seams included

Waterproof, not water resistant

Where LVP goes that hardwood cannot

Waterproof means the plank does not swell. Standing water still gets cleaned up.

FAQ

The look comes from a printed wood layer under a clear wear layer, over the waterproof core. Samples stay with you, so you can see it in your own light before deciding.

Yes, furniture moving can be part of the job. Tell us at the estimate so it goes into the scope and the price, rather than becoming a surprise on the first day.
