Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and laminate are the workhorses of Boston rentals, basements, and busy kitchens: water-resistant, tough, and a fraction of hardwood's cost and install time. The one thing they won't forgive is a bad subfloor. Because the planks float as a single sheet, any dip, hump, or loose board shows up as a soft spot or a click underfoot. So the real work is leveling and prepping the subfloor first — then the floor itself goes fast.

We handle new installs and full-room replacements, including the underlayment, transitions, and trim.

Laminate & Vinyl Plank Flooring FAQs

Is vinyl plank good for a basement?

Yes — it's water-resistant; we handle moisture underlayment where needed.

Laminate vs. vinyl plank?

Vinyl is more water-resistant; laminate can feel more like wood underfoot — we'll advise based on the room.

Why does the subfloor matter so much?

Floating floors telegraph every dip and hump, so we flatten the subfloor first.
