When it comes to LVP flooring installation in Florida, homeowners turn to Gage Nelson Handyman Service for precision, value, and long-lasting results. We specialize in installing Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring, a modern alternative to hardwood that combines durability with elegant design. Whether you’re renovating your living room, kitchen, or commercial space, our team ensures a flawless finish that enhances comfort and boosts property value.
Unlike traditional hardwood or tile, LVP flooring resists moisture, scratches, and heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for Florida’s humid climate and active lifestyles. From layout preparation to seamless plank alignment, we handle every stage with care and professionalism. Learn more about our other Handyman Services or explore our Project Gallery for inspiration.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring mimics the look of real wood or stone while providing superior durability and water resistance. It’s crafted with multiple layers, including a wear layer, image layer, core, and backing that together provide comfort, insulation, and structural strength.
According to Home Innovation Research Labs, over 28% of U.S. homeowners choose vinyl plank flooring for remodels because of its cost-effectiveness and longevity.
Florida’s warm climate and coastal humidity make the flooring choice critical. LVP stands out because it resists warping, mold, and water damage that often affect hardwood and laminate floors.
The Florida Building Code encourages the use of moisture-resistant materials in residential flooring systems to enhance longevity and indoor air quality.
We offer a wide range of styles, textures, and finishes to complement your Florida home’s décor. For tailored design advice, check our About page to learn about our expertise.
Rigid core planks combine limestone and polymer composites for maximum stability and strength. They’re ideal for high-traffic areas or commercial buildings that require superior impact resistance.
This installation method involves securing each plank directly to the subfloor, creating a permanent, ultra-stable surface perfect for expansive areas like offices or retail stores.
Floating floors use an interlocking system that snaps planks together without adhesive. It’s fast to install, easy to repair, and well-suited for Florida homeowners who prefer flexible flooring solutions.
Although slightly different from LVP, LVT mimics stone or ceramic looks. It’s often used in combination with wood-look planks for dynamic design patterns.
