Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Installation
Get the warm, authentic look of hardwood with 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant durability. Our Wake Forest team installs premium LVP flooring built to handle real life — kids, pets, and spills included.
Why Wake Forest Homeowners Choose LVP
Luxury Vinyl Plank combines the beauty of hardwood with modern engineering, delivering a flooring solution that performs as beautifully as it looks — in every room of your home.
Built for Real Life
LVP is 100% waterproof core construction, making it the ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and busy households across Wake Forest where moisture and spills are a daily reality.
Durable, Layered Construction
A tough wear layer protects against scratches, dents, and fading, while the rigid or flexible core underneath stands up to heavy foot traffic, furniture, and pets for years to come.
Authentic Wood-Look Aesthetics
High-definition printing and embossed textures replicate the grain, knots, and texture of real hardwood — giving you the warmth of wood without the maintenance concerns.
Our LVP Installation Process
From subfloor prep to final finishing, every step is handled with precision to ensure your new floor looks great and lasts for decades.
Subfloor Preparation
We inspect and prep your existing subfloor, repairing cracks, leveling uneven areas, and ensuring a clean, dry surface — the foundation for a long-lasting LVP installation.
Underlayment Placement
A moisture barrier and underlayment are installed where needed to add cushioning, reduce sound transfer, and protect against subfloor moisture.
Plank Layout & Acclimation
Planks are allowed to acclimate to your home's temperature and humidity, then dry-laid to plan the pattern, minimize waste, and ensure a seamless visual flow.
Precision Installation
Our installers click, glue, or float the planks (depending on product type) with tight seams and proper expansion gaps around the room's perimeter.
Finishing Touches
Transition strips, baseboards, and trim are installed and sealed, and the finished floor is thoroughly cleaned before final walkthrough.
LVP vs. Traditional Hardwood
Not sure whether LVP or solid hardwood is right for your home? Here's how the two compare. If you're drawn to real wood, we also offer hardwood installation and hardwood refinishing services.

|---|---|---|
| Water Resistance | 100% waterproof core — safe for kitchens, baths & basements | Prone to warping and water damage |
| Maintenance | Sweep and damp mop — no refinishing required | Needs periodic refinishing and careful cleaning |
| Durability | Highly scratch, dent & fade resistant wear layer | Susceptible to scratches and dents over time |
| Cost | Lower material and installation cost | Higher material and labor investment |
