LVP Flooring Installation in Chicago

Luxury vinyl plank is waterproof, quiet and tough enough for kids, dogs and Chicago winters. We install it over a subfloor that is actually flat, which is what makes it last.

LVP flooring

The floor is only as good as what is under it

Floating and glue-down LVP both depend on a clean, flat, dry subfloor. We remove old flooring, level low spots, fix squeaks and lay underlayment before the first plank, then stagger joints properly and finish with baseboard, shoe molding and transitions that sit flush.

We install LVP in whole homes, condos, basements, kitchens and baths, and we will help you choose a plank thickness and wear layer that fits how hard the room gets used.

Questions

LVP flooring FAQ

Is LVP really waterproof?

The planks are. The seams resist water very well, which is why LVP works in kitchens, baths and basements where laminate would swell.

Can you install LVP over my existing floor?

Over flat tile or sheet vinyl, often yes. Over carpet, never. We check flatness and height at doors before we decide.

How long does an LVP install take?

Most rooms take a day. A whole condo or main floor takes two to four days including removal and trim.

Should I buy the flooring or should you?

Either works. If you buy it, we will tell you how much overage to order and what underlayment to get.
