Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation in Rhode Island

Waterproof, durable, and beautiful. Professional LVP installation throughout Rhode Island — by an owner-operated crew with 30+ years of experience.

The Right Floor for Every Room

Luxury vinyl plank has changed significantly over the past decade. Today's LVP products offer realistic wood-look visuals, 100% waterproof construction, and commercial-grade durability — at a fraction of the cost of hardwood.

We recommend LVP for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and any space where moisture is a concern. It's also an excellent choice for high-traffic areas, rental properties, and homes with pets and young children.

We don't push one product over another. Our job is to understand how you live in your home and recommend the flooring that will perform best for you long-term. Sometimes that's hardwood. Sometimes it's LVP. We'll be honest either way.

Owner Jayson Matias personally oversees every installation. NWFA guidelines are followed even for vinyl products — proper subfloor prep, acclimation, and transitions matter regardless of material.

What Customers Say

"We had LVP installed throughout our entire main floor — kitchen, living room, dining room, and hallway. Jayson helped us choose a style that looks almost exactly like real hardwood. The install was clean and fast. Extremely happy."

"We chose LVP for our basement and it's been perfect. Zero moisture issues, looks great, and feels much warmer than the concrete it replaced. Jayson was honest about the options and didn't upsell us."

★★★★★

"Had LVP installed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Jayson was upfront that hardwood wasn't the right call for a wet environment and walked me through why. The LVP looks beautiful and I know it'll hold up."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is luxury vinyl plank (LVP)?

Luxury vinyl plank is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product designed to look and feel like hardwood. It's 100% waterproof, extremely durable, and available in a wide range of wood-look styles. It's a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and high-traffic areas.

How does LVP compare to hardwood?

LVP is more affordable, fully waterproof, and easier to maintain than hardwood. Hardwood has a warmth and natural character that LVP mimics but doesn't fully replicate. We'll help you decide which is right for your space and lifestyle — we have no preference; we install both.

Can LVP be installed over existing flooring?

In many cases, yes — LVP can be installed over existing vinyl, tile, and even some wood floors, as long as the substrate is flat, solid, and in good condition. We assess the subfloor before any installation.

Is LVP good for kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes — it's one of the best flooring options for wet areas. It's 100% waterproof, doesn't swell or warp from moisture, and is comfortable underfoot. We install it in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements regularly.

What brands and products do you install?

We work with quality LVP products from multiple suppliers. We'll present options at different price points during your estimate and help you choose based on your budget, traffic level, and aesthetic goals.

How long does LVP installation take?

Most LVP installations take 1–3 days depending on square footage and subfloor conditions. We give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
