Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation in Central & Southern Maine
Durable, water-resistant flooring that stands up to spills, moisture, and everyday foot traffic — installed flat, tight, and clean by Jay himself.
Overview
Luxury Vinyl Plank done right
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) has become one of the most popular flooring choices for good reason: it's tough, water-resistant, and looks like real wood without the worry. It's a practical fit for the rooms where life actually happens — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, entryways, and high-traffic living areas.
Jay's Flooring installs LVP flat and tight, with seams aligned and clean transitions between rooms, so the finished floor looks right and holds up for years. With 30 years of hands-on experience, Jay handles the details — subfloor prep, layout, and trim — that separate an okay install from a great one.
How Jay installs it
A careful, professional install
- 1
Free estimate & measure
Jay visits, measures, and talks through your space, the look you want, and whether you're supplying materials or need help choosing.
- 2
Subfloor prep
The subfloor is cleaned, leveled, and prepped so the planks sit flat and lock together properly — the step that prevents gaps and movement later.
- 3
Plank installation
Planks are laid out for a balanced look and installed tight, with careful cuts around cabinets, doorways, and fixtures.
- 4
Transitions & cleanup
Clean transitions are set between rooms and at thresholds, trim is fitted neatly, and the work area is tidied up before Jay leaves.
Good to know
A few things worth knowing
- Water-resistant to fully waterproof cores make LVP a strong choice for moisture-prone rooms.
- Rigid-core (SPC) options feel solid underfoot; thinner flexible vinyl suits some subfloors better.
- LVP can often be installed over existing hard floors when the surface is sound and properly prepped.
- Quiet and comfortable underfoot, especially with the right underlayment.
FAQ
Luxury Vinyl Plank questions, answered
Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof — can it go in bathrooms and basements?
Most LVP is water-resistant, and many products are fully waterproof, which makes it a smart choice for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Jay will confirm the right product for the room when he measures.
How is LVP different from laminate, and which is right for me?
Both give you a wood look at a friendly price, but LVP handles moisture far better, while laminate often has a slightly more rigid, traditional feel. If you'd like to compare, see our laminate page — or just ask Jay at your free estimate.
Can LVP be installed over my existing floor?
Often, yes — if the existing surface is sound, clean, and flat. Jay will check the subfloor during the estimate and let you know what prep, if any, is needed.
How does LVP hold up with kids and pets?
Very well. Its tough wear layer resists scratches, dents, and spills, which is a big part of why it's so popular with busy households.
Can you install LVP I've already purchased?
Yes. Jay can install material you've bought, or help you choose the right product — just let us know on the estimate form which you'd prefer.
How long does an LVP installation take?
It depends on the size of the space and how much prep the subfloor needs. Jay will give you a realistic timeline with your free estimate.
