Three homes where this shines
Busy household with kids and pets
Two dogs, a toddler, and a finished basement playroom. You need a floor that survives juice spills, claw marks, and the occasional accident - and still looks great when guests come over. Glue-down LVT handles all of that.
Refreshing the commercial
You're not ready to renovate the whole house, but the commercial is looking tired. Glue-down LVT drops in over your existing subfloor in 1–3 days, and the room photographs ten years younger before the baseboards are even back on.
Value-conscious upgrade
Glue-down LVT hits the sweet spot - better than the entry tier, without the premium-tier surcharge. Most of our repeat customers pick this band.

Yes, but…The questions everyone asks
The questions everyone asks
before they sign.
Why pay more for glue-down at home?+
If you have rolling office chairs, an elliptical, or just hate the slight click-floor sound, glue-down is worth the premium. It also disappears entirely at door thresholds.
What's the cure time?+
Light foot traffic at 24 hrs, full furniture at 48–72 hrs, area rugs at one week. We sequence rooms so you keep a kitchen and a bath in service throughout.
Won't Glue-down LVT feel cheap or look fake up close?+
Modern manufacturing has closed almost all of that gap. Premium SKUs in this tier use real-wood scans, multi-pass texture, and beveled edges - at conversational distance, most homeowners can't tell. Ask for our top three samples in this category and compare them on your own floor before deciding.
How disruptive is the install?+
Most Glue-down LVT jobs finish in 1–3 days per floor. Whole-home installs average 4–7 working days. We sequence rooms so you always have a kitchen and at least one bathroom in service.
What if I don't love it once it's down?+
We bring up to 8 samples to your Free In-home Estimate so you can see the planks/tiles in your own light before we order material. After install, our workmanship warranty covers any defect for the life of the floor - no fine print.
