Luxury vinyl plank flooring,
installed right

Quality LVP is waterproof at the plank. It won't swell, warp or buckle from moisture the way laminate or engineered wood will, which is why it's the sensible pick for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms and any Houston home that has taken on water before. The plank being waterproof is only half of it though. Sealed transitions and the right underlayment are what keep water from getting under the floor in the first place.

Most jobs run one to two days depending on square footage, subfloor condition and how many rooms and doorways are involved. There's no sanding, staining or cure time, so you're walking on it the same day it goes down. We'll give you a real timeline at the walkthrough, not a range.

Often, yes. LVP goes over tile, concrete, vinyl and some other hard surfaces as long as the subfloor is flat and sound. We'll tell you at the walkthrough whether demo is needed. If it is, that's in the written scope with a price next to it.

Laminate has a wood-fiber core that swells when it gets wet. LVP doesn't. LVP is also more forgiving underfoot and typically holds up better to pets and heavy traffic. Laminate can be cheaper up front, which matters, but in a flood-prone city that's a bet on it never getting wet.

Depends on the product. Some LVP comes with it pre-attached. If it doesn't, we lay separate underlayment for sound, cushion and moisture protection. On a slab in Houston, the moisture layer is the part that matters, and we'll spec it around what we find when we check the slab.

Transition strips and moldings wherever LVP meets a different surface, changes height or runs into a doorway. It sounds like a detail. It's the thing that separates a professional install from a weekend job, and it's where cheap quotes quietly leave money out.

Modern LVP uses high-definition printing and embossed texture that follows the grain. From across a room, most people can't tell. Up close you can, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. What you're trading is a small amount of realism for a floor that survives a dishwasher leak.

Yes. Demo and disposal of carpet, tile, vinyl or old laminate is part of the scope, and so is moving your furniture and putting it back.
