Our LVP Installation Process

Our luxury vinyl plank installation follows a meticulous process designed to deliver exceptional results. We prioritize precision, quality materials, and customer satisfaction throughout each step.

In-Home Consultation 

We begin with a comprehensive in-home consultation to understand your specific needs and space requirements. Our trained consultants evaluate your existing flooring, subfloor condition, and room layout to determine the optimal installation approach.


During this visit, we take precise measurements of your space to calculate the exact amount of LVP material needed. This helps eliminate waste and ensures accurate project pricing.


We also assess environmental factors like humidity levels and temperature that might affect your installation. Our team checks for potential issues such as moisture problems or uneven subfloors that should be addressed before installation begins.

LVP Selection

We offer an extensive selection of luxury vinyl plank options to match your aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. Our collection includes various styles, colors, textures, and thicknesses to complement any interior design.


Our experts guide you through important considerations like:


  • Wear layer thickness (appropriate for your traffic levels)
  • Waterproof ratings (essential for kitchens and bathrooms)
  • Pattern variations (for a more authentic look)
  • UV protection (important for rooms with significant sunlight)


We provide physical samples for you to take home and view in your space under different lighting conditions.

This ensures the LVP you select will perfectly complement your existing décor and meet your performance expectations.

Precision Installation 

Our installation process begins with thorough preparation of your subfloor. We remove existing flooring, address any leveling issues, and ensure the surface is clean and dry.



We acclimate your LVP materials to your home's environment for 24-48 hours before installation. This crucial step prevents expansion or contraction issues after installation.


Our technicians use specialized tools and industry-leading techniques to ensure:


  • Perfect seam alignment
  • Proper expansion gaps
  • Secure click-lock connections
  • Precise cutting around fixtures and corners


For finishing touches, we install coordinating baseboards or quarter round moldings to create a polished, professional appearance. We conduct a final inspection with you to ensure your complete satisfaction with the installation.

Maintaining Your New Floors

Proper maintenance of your luxury vinyl plank flooring will ensure its beauty and durability for years to come. Regular cleaning and appropriate long-term care are essential to protect your investment.


Regular Cleaning 


Sweep or vacuum your LVP flooring daily to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hard floor setting.


Things to avoid:


  • Harsh chemical cleaners
  • Steam mops (heat can damage adhesives)
  • Abrasive scrubbing tools
  • Wax-based products that create buildup


Clean spills immediately to prevent staining. For stubborn spots, use a manufacturer-approved spot cleaner applied to a soft cloth rather than directly on the floor.


Long-Term Care and Maintenance


Place protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches when moving items. Use floor mats at entrances to trap dirt and debris before they reach your flooring.


Protection Tips:


  • Use chair mats under rolling office chairs
  • Lift rather than drag heavy furniture
  • Keep pet nails trimmed
  • Remove shoes at entrances


We recommend professional deep cleaning annually to maintain your floor's appearance and extend its lifespan. This service removes built-up residue that regular cleaning might miss.

FAQs on Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Installation

LVP installation involves specific procedures and timeframes that homeowners should understand before beginning their flooring project. Our expert team has compiled answers to common questions based on years of experience installing luxury vinyl plank flooring.

  • How much does professional LVP installation cost in Los Angeles?

    Professional LVP installation in Los Angeles typically costs between $3-$7 per square foot for labor only. With materials included, expect to pay $7-$15 per square foot total, depending on the quality of LVP chosen. Budget-friendly LVP starts around $3-$5 per square foot, mid-range options cost $5-$8, and premium luxury vinyl runs $8-$12+ per square foot. Additional costs may include subfloor preparation ($1-$3/sq ft), furniture moving ($100-$300), and baseboard removal/replacement ($1-$3 per linear foot).

  • How long does luxury vinyl plank installation take to complete?

    Luxury vinyl plank installation for an average 500-1,000 square foot area typically takes 1-3 days to complete. A standard living room can often be finished in a single day. Timeline factors include subfloor condition (preparation may add 1-2 days), existing flooring removal (adds 1 day), acclimation period (24-48 hours), and installation complexity. Straight layouts are fastest, while herringbone or custom patterns take longer. Most residential installations are completed within 2-3 days from start to finish.

  • Is LVP flooring suitable for Southern California's climate?

    Yes, LVP flooring is exceptionally well-suited for Southern California's climate. Its dimensional stability handles temperature fluctuations between cool coastal mornings and warm afternoons without expanding or contracting significantly. The waterproof nature of LVP makes it ideal for occasional humidity from marine layers or rare rainy seasons. Unlike hardwood, LVP won't warp in changing conditions. Its UV-resistant wear layer prevents fading from Southern California's abundant sunshine, making it perfect for sun-exposed rooms with large windows.

  • Can luxury vinyl plank be installed over existing tile floors?

    Yes, luxury vinyl plank can be installed over existing tile floors, provided certain conditions are met. The tile must be securely bonded to the subfloor without loose pieces, the surface must be level (variations less than 3/16" over 10 feet), and grout lines should be less than 1/4" wide and 1/8" deep (or filled with leveling compound). Benefits include reduced installation time, lower costs, and minimal disruption. However, this may raise floor height and reduce sound absorption. Professional assessment is recommended to ensure your specific tile floor is suitable for LVP overlay.

  • How durable is LVP flooring in high-traffic areas?

    Luxury vinyl plank flooring is exceptionally durable in high-traffic areas, making it ideal for busy Los Angeles homes and businesses. Quality LVP features wear layers ranging from 12-30 mil thickness, with commercial-grade options (20+ mil) providing excellent resistance to scratches, scuffs, and dents. Premium LVP can withstand heavy foot traffic for 15-25+ years with proper maintenance. It resists stains, water damage, and fading, while maintaining its appearance under constant use. The rigid core construction prevents denting from furniture and high heels, outperforming many traditional hardwood and laminate options in busy spaces.
