Waterproof | Durable | Realistic Wood and Stone Looks

Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile Flooring Installation in Southern Maine

LVP is the most popular flooring upgrade we install today — and for good reason. It is completely waterproof, stands up to pets and heavy traffic, and looks remarkably close to real hardwood or stone. Visit our Sanford showroom to see the difference in person.

Why So Many Maine Homeowners Are Switching to LVP

"

Hardwood is beautiful but requires careful moisture management — a real challenge in Maine homes near the coast or with uneven humidity. Carpet holds up in bedrooms but struggles in kitchens, mudrooms, and high-traffic hallways. Luxury vinyl plank bridges the gap. It looks like real wood, performs in any room including bathrooms and basements, and holds up to the kind of use that real wood simply cannot tolerate.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Installation

LVP replicates the look of hardwood with a floating or glue-down installation that works over most existing subfloors. We carry options in a wide range of wood-look finishes, plank widths, and wear layer thicknesses. We help you choose the right product for your traffic level, subfloor condition, and budget.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) Installation

LVT delivers realistic stone, slate, or ceramic looks in a waterproof, resilient format. It is a smart choice for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens where tile durability is desired but grout maintenance is not. We carry a variety of LVT formats from realistic large-format stone looks to classic geometric patterns.

Waterproof Flooring for Every Room

One of the most frequent questions we get is whether LVP can go in a bathroom or basement. The answer is yes — most quality LVP products are fully waterproof and can be installed in any room in the house, including below grade.

LVP Flooring Questions Answered

Both look similar and often get confused. The key difference is waterproofness. LVP has a waterproof core and is safe for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Laminate has a wood-fiber core that can swell and warp when wet. If moisture is a concern in your space, LVP is the better choice.
In many cases, yes — depending on the condition and height of the existing floor. We assess the subfloor during the estimate to determine the best installation method for your situation.
Yes. We install luxury vinyl plank throughout Sanford, Kennebunk, Wells, Ogunquit, Springvale, Berwick, Alfred, Waterboro, and surrounding York County communities.
LVP is generally more resistant to moisture and scratches than most hardwoods. It will not dent the same way hardwood can under heavy impact, and it does not require refinishing. However, if damaged, hardwood can often be sanded and repaired — LVP sections typically need to be replaced. For most active Maine households, LVP offers an excellent balance of durability and practicality.
Wear layer thickness is the more important spec — look for 12 mil or above for residential use in active households. We carry products across a range of wear layer ratings and can recommend the right level for your space.
