Not all luxury vinyl plank is built the same way, and picking the right option comes down to how your household lives.
The two main types you will come across are SPC (stone plastic composite) and WPC (wood plastic composite):
SPC rigid core: Engineered with limestone powder, making it exceptionally dense and dent-resistant. It feels solid underfoot and handles heavy furniture, dropped pans, and active pets without denting.
WPC core: Made with foaming agents, giving it a slightly softer, warmer feel that is gentle on your joints during long hours standing in kitchens.
Next, look closely at the wear layer, measured in mils (one-thousandth of an inch, not millimeters). A thicker wear layer protects the printed design from scratches, scuffs, and daily friction. For busy households with children, large dogs, or high foot traffic, we recommend choosing a thicker wear layer to keep claws and dropped toys from wearing down the finish.
You will also decide between click-lock floating planks and glue-down vinyl. Click-lock planks snap together over an underlayment without adhesive, allowing for fast, clean installations that can float over most flat surfaces. Glue-down planks adhere directly to the subfloor, which suits large, open commercial spaces or rolling-load areas.
Regardless of the core style, all quality LVP features a 100% waterproof construction that will not swell from spills or humidity. Because every room is unique, we help you compare these options side-by-side during your free in-home estimate to match your budget and lifestyle.

All prices include vinyl materials, professional installation, subfloor preparation, and trim and transitions. Severe leveling, stairs, or extra moisture work is quoted up front at your free in-home estimate — no surprises.
A great-looking vinyl floor depends entirely on what lies underneath it. Even the toughest click-lock planks will separate, bounce, or crack if the foundation below is uneven.
To make sure your new floor performs as designed, our flat rate of $3.50 per square foot includes standard subfloor preparation. Our crew sweeps and cleans the surface, drives down loose fasteners, removes stray staples, and handles minor leveling across small dips and high spots. This standard prep ensures your planks lock tightly, lie completely flat, and feel solid underfoot.
However, certain underlying structural problems require additional labor and materials. Our standard prep does not include:
We inspect your existing subfloor thoroughly during your free in-home estimate. If severe leveling, stairs, or extra moisture work is required, it is always quoted up front before any work begins—no surprises.

Every project is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty, covering installation and workmanship issues for 3 years. Materials carry their manufacturer warranties.
