Subfloor Prep Matters

Common Questions About LVP Installation
We install LVP to manufacturer specifications and NALFA industry standards for subfloor flatness and expansion gaps.
- How long does LVP installation take?
- Most LVP projects take 1–2 days. You can walk on LVP immediately after installation — no cure time needed, unlike hardwood finishes.
- Can LVP be installed over existing tile or hardwood?
- Sometimes. LVP can float over a flat, stable surface, but the added height may cause issues at door thresholds and transitions. We evaluate the existing floor and recommend the best approach — overlay or remove and replace.
- Is LVP better than hardwood for kitchens and bathrooms?
- LVP is 100% waterproof, which makes it practical in wet areas. Solid hardwood is not recommended for bathrooms. Engineered hardwood is a middle option. We walk you through trade-offs during your free estimate.
- How much does LVP installation cost in Tacoma, WA?
- LVP installation labor typically runs $2–$4 per square foot. Total project cost depends on room size, subfloor prep, and trim. Free written estimate — no obligation.
