Rigid Core / Flooring Reviews
"Anton was helpful in deciding the best flooring for my current needs and was very responsive to my questions. The day of the work things went great from install to plumbing to clean up. They are a quality crew."
Stephanie Davis
"The job went really well, Anton was very responsive, that is hard to find in a contractor, anyone who has ever had work done knows that is not always easy to find. Anton's team did a great job on the install, I wanted professional quality. There are probably others who might be cheaper but you will not find the quality. Anton was also able to fit me in one day early and was also able to complete the job in one day, which is what I asked for. His crew worked overtime without complaint, you could tell they took pride in what they were doing. My floor looks incredible!"
Angela Amore

Luxury Vinyl Plank Questions
How much does luxury vinyl plank installation cost in the Twin Cities?
Installed LVP cost depends on the product tier, the room count, how much old flooring has to come out, and how much subfloor prep the house needs. A click-together plank over a flat, sound subfloor sits at the low end. A glue-down install over a below-grade slab that needs moisture testing and a leveling pass sits higher. Rigid core and WPC products cost more per square foot than entry-level LVP but tolerate subfloor imperfection and moisture far better. We measure on site and hand you a written number before any work starts, so contact us for a quote rather than working from an online average.
What is the difference between LVP, WPC, and rigid core (SPC)?
All three are click-together vinyl planks; the difference is the core. Standard LVP has a flexible vinyl core and is the thinnest and least expensive, which also makes it the least forgiving of an uneven subfloor. WPC uses a wood-plastic composite core that is thicker, warmer, and quieter underfoot, so it is a comfortable choice in living areas and bedrooms. Rigid core, often sold as SPC and including product lines like COREtec, uses a dense stone-plastic composite that resists dents and temperature swings best, which is why we usually spec it for kitchens, entries, basements, three-season porches, and rental turns. We walk you through which core fits each room before you pick a color.
Can luxury vinyl plank go over an existing floor or a concrete basement slab?
Often, yes, and that is one of the real advantages of the product. A floating LVP floor can go over sound, well-bonded existing vinyl or tile if the surface is flat and clean, which saves the cost and mess of tear-out. Over a concrete basement slab we test for moisture first, then flatten any low spots and set the correct underlayment. This matters in the west metro, where clay-heavy soils around Victoria, Chanhassen, and Chaska hold spring melt against foundation walls. We assess the substrate on the measure visit rather than assuming, because a plank floor laid over a slab that is still passing moisture will telegraph or cup later.
Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof enough for a kitchen, bathroom, or basement?
The plank itself is waterproof on rigid core and WPC products, which is why LVP has largely replaced laminate in kitchens, baths, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. What matters just as much is the perimeter and the transitions: standing water finds seams and edges, not the middle of a board. We seal at tubs, toilets, and dishwasher openings and set transitions so spills stay on top of the floor. Handled that way, an LVP floor tolerates a burst supply line or a leaking dishwasher in a way hardwood or laminate simply does not.
Can you install vinyl plank in a garage instead of epoxy?
Yes. There is a category of vinyl plank rated for garage floors, and it is a genuinely cheaper and faster alternative to a sprayed-on epoxy coating. It goes down over a prepped slab, hides slab cracking and pitting rather than highlighting it the way a clear coating does, and it can be lifted and replaced in sections if a section gets damaged. It also feels warmer underfoot than bare concrete through a Minnesota winter. If a garage or shop floor is what you are after, tell us on the quote call so we spec a product actually rated for vehicle traffic.
How long does a luxury vinyl plank installation take?
Most single-room floating plank installs finish in a day. A main level spanning a kitchen, entry, and hallway usually runs one to two days. A glue-down install takes longer because the adhesive needs cure time before the floor takes traffic, and any leveling pass has to dry before planks go down. We confirm the timeline in your written estimate so you can plan furniture, appliance disconnects, and painting around it.
