The LVP-versus-hardwood question comes up at nearly every estimate we do. The honest answer depends on your room, your subfloor, and your lifestyle.
| Factor | Luxury vinyl plank | Hardwood |
|---|---|---|
| Humidity | Waterproof | Needs acclimation |
| Slab homes | Excellent | Engineered recommended |
| Refinishing | Not possible | Possible several times |
| Cost | Lower to mid | Mid to high |
Choose LVP when
You have kids, dogs, a slab foundation, or a kitchen that sees real life. See our luxury vinyl plank options.
Choose hardwood when
Resale value and long-term character matter most, and the room is above grade or you are open to engineered hardwood. Browse hardwood flooring in our showroom.
