Luxury Vinyl Plank in Utica, 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 Utica.

Where each core makes sense
Rigid SPC cores are dense and dimensionally stable, which makes them the sensible choice over concrete slabs and in rooms that get hot in the afternoon and cool overnight. They are also the least forgiving of a wavy subfloor, because a rigid plank bridges a dip rather than following it, and a bridged dip becomes a hollow spot you can hear.
Softer cores feel warmer and quieter and hide minor subfloor variation better, at the cost of denting more easily under a heavy point load. On upper floors in older houses around Newark and Granville that trade is often the right one. On a basement slab it usually is not.
Houses with pets and children
Claws, spills and toys are what LVP handles best. A thick wear layer resists the scratching that dulls a hardwood finish, and a spill on vinyl is a wipe rather than an event.
The realistic limit is denting rather than scratching. A heavy appliance dragged across a soft-core plank leaves a mark, so we talk through where the fridge lands and how the furniture moves before we specify the core.
Built for Utica homes.
Utica was platted in 1815 and named after Utica, New York, and at the turn of the twentieth century it was the largest hand-blown window glass town in the country — the silica and natural gas were both underfoot. The glassworks closed after 1929, and the housing that generation built is still the housing we work in. The 2020 census counted 2,064 residents. We bring samples out to the village.
What that leaves is a village where a large share of the houses were built between the 1890s and the 1920s, by people earning glassworks wages. They are frame houses on plank subfloors over joists, and a century of settling means very few of them have a floor that is level within modern tolerance.
Utica is about fifteen miles north of us, an easy run out with samples.

Luxury Vinyl Plank in Utica, questions
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.
Can LVP go over my existing floor?
Sometimes. We inspect the subfloor and existing surface first and explain any leveling, repair or removal that is needed. Your new floor performs best over a clean, dry, stable base.
