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 metro 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.

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.

Waterproof, not water resistant

Where LVP goes that hardwood cannot

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

  2. BathroomsStanding water and steam, no swelling
  3. BasementsConcrete slabs and moisture from below
  4. Laundry and mudroomsThe rooms that ruin wood floors first
