What is luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a waterproof, durable flooring option that looks like real hardwood. It's perfect for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. LVP is scratch-resistant, pet-friendly, and requires minimal maintenance.
How much does flooring installation cost in Albuquerque?
Flooring costs vary based on material, room size, and subfloor condition. Carpet typically ranges $3-8 per square foot installed. LVP runs $5-10 per square foot. Hardwood is $8-15+ per square foot. We provide accurate estimates during your free in-home consultation.

How long does flooring installation take?
Most residential rooms take 1-3 days depending on size and flooring type. Carpet is typically fastest (1-2 days). LVP and laminate take 1-2 days. Hardwood and tile can take 2-4 days. We give you an exact timeline during your estimate.
What's the best flooring for pets?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the best choice for pet owners. It's waterproof, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. Tile is also excellent. For carpet lovers, we recommend stain-resistant nylon carpet with built-in pet protection like Shaw's Anso or Mohawk's SmartStrand.
What's the best flooring for kitchens and bathrooms?
Waterproof flooring is essential for kitchens and bathrooms. We recommend luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or tile. LVP offers the beauty of hardwood with 100% waterproof protection. Tile is also waterproof and extremely durable.
Do you offer financing?
Yes! We offer flexible financing options to help you get your dream floors now and pay over time. Ask about current financing promotions during your free estimate.
What's the difference between LVP and laminate?
LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is 100% waterproof, while laminate is not. LVP is also more dent-resistant and feels warmer underfoot. Both look like hardwood, but LVP handles moisture much better, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Can you install flooring over existing floors?
It depends on the existing floor type and condition. LVP and laminate can often be installed over existing vinyl or tile. Carpet requires removal first. We assess your situation during the free estimate and recommend the best approach.
Do you handle subfloor repairs?
Yes, we handle all necessary subfloor preparation and repairs. A proper subfloor is critical for flooring longevity, so we always assess and address any issues before installation.
What flooring is best for basements?
Waterproof LVP is the best choice for basements. It handles moisture without warping or mold growth. Tile is also a good option. Avoid hardwood and standard laminate in basements due to moisture concerns.
How do I maintain my new floors?
Carpet: Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning every 12-18 months. LVP/Laminate: Sweep and damp mop with manufacturer-approved cleaners. Hardwood: Sweep regularly and use wood floor cleaner. Tile: Sweep and mop with pH-neutral cleaner. We provide detailed care instructions after installation.
