Luxury Vinyl Plank in Newark, OH
Luxury vinyl plank gives you the look of a wood floor in the rooms where a wood floor would be a bad idea — kitchens, entryways, basements, anywhere with pets or a lot of traffic. We fit it over a properly prepared subfloor, because LVP is thin, and thin floors show whatever is underneath them. Professionally installed across Newark.

The plank, the core and the seams
Luxury vinyl plank is a layered product, and the layer people ask about is rarely the one that decides how it performs. The wear layer on top governs how it holds up to grit and claws. The core in the middle — rigid SPC, softer WPC, or a flexible glue-down — governs how it feels underfoot, how much subfloor imperfection it hides, and how it behaves when the room's temperature swings.
Waterproof, as manufacturers use it, describes the plank. A waterproof plank will sit in a puddle and be fine. What happens at the seams, at the perimeter and underneath is a question about the installation, not the product, and it is the one worth asking.
Flat first
Most LVP is between four and seven millimetres thick. It does not hide anything. Every dip, every ridge at a plywood joint, every high spot in a slab reads through it, sometimes visually and always underfoot.
So the preparation is the job. We check the subfloor for flatness against the manufacturer's tolerance, and we level, fill or grind where it misses. That is the step that gets skipped on a rushed install, and it is why some vinyl floors feel hollow in patches within the first year.
Built for Newark homes.
Newark is the biggest town we work in and the one with the widest spread of housing. It was settled in 1802 and incorporated in 1813, and the 2020 census counted 49,934 people across 22,351 housing units — everything from pre-war frame houses around the Hudson Avenue Historic District to post-war ranches out toward Heath. We are a few minutes down the road, so bringing samples to a Newark house is a short trip.
The older parts of town are the interesting ones. Around the Hudson Avenue Historic District and the streets radiating from Courthouse Square you find pre-war frame houses, many of them on plank subfloors over joists that have had a century to settle. Two things follow from that. Floors in these houses are frequently out of level by enough to matter, which changes what can be laid over them — a rigid-core plank bridges a dip and goes hollow, where a more forgiving product follows it. And the original hardwood is often still down there under a carpet, which is worth knowing before you order a new floor, because sometimes the right answer is refinishing rather than replacing.
For most Newark jobs we can be at the house quickly and back easily. Financing through Synchrony Home is available for qualifying customers if spreading the cost makes the difference between doing the whole floor and doing half of it.

Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof?
Water-resistant and waterproof constructions are both available. Which one suits your home depends on the room, the subfloor and how the space gets used — we go through that at the in-home appointment.
