Overview

Why Long Island chooses us for lvp.

LVP is the category that's reshaping Long Island flooring. Ten years ago it was cheap-looking. Today, COREtec Pro Plus, Shaw Floorte, and Pergo Extreme look and feel nearly identical to real hardwood — with the one thing real wood can never offer: total waterproof integrity. We are a COREtec-trained Installer and Shaw Floorte dealer, which means we carry the full product line and can order any SKU in stock at our Island Park showroom. Installed prices on Long Island typically run $4.50 to $8.50 per square foot including materials and labor, subfloor prep, furniture moving, old-floor haul-away, and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Ideal for kitchens, mudrooms, basements, and any home with dogs.

What You Get

The specifics.

Waterproof, every plank

LVP is 100% waterproof — not water-resistant. Spill a glass of red wine, mop the kitchen, ignore a dishwasher leak for a week: the floor is unaffected. This alone is why LVP is winning kitchens across Long Island.

Scratch-proof commercial-grade wear layers

Our standard COREtec wear layer is 20 mil — double what big-box stores sell as "premium." Dog nails, dragged furniture, hardcore playroom traffic: no visible wear.

Click-lock floating install

LVP floats — no nails, no glue to the subfloor. Installs fast (typical 1,200 sqft is 2 days vs 4 for hardwood), goes over most existing floors with 1/8" mat underlayment.

40+ patterns in the Island Park showroom

We stock actual planks from COREtec, Shaw Floorte, Pergo Extreme, and Mannington Adura. Take 12 samples home and try them under your actual light.

Our Process

How we do it.

1
Moisture test & subfloor prep
LVP requires a flat, dry subfloor. We fix dips with self-leveling compound and moisture-test concrete before install.
2
Acclimation (48 hours)
LVP needs 48 hours on site before install — faster than hardwood's 5 days but still required for thermal stability.
3
Click-lock floating install
Planks click together with a locking edge. Spacer expansion gaps at every wall (1/4"). We run planks in the long direction of the room unless you prefer otherwise.
4
Trim & quarter-round
Painted or stained quarter-round shoe to cover the expansion gap at baseboards. T-moldings at doorways into rooms with other floor types.

FAQ

LVP questions we hear a lot.

Still have questions? Call us direct at (631) 641-5575 or text a photo of your room.

Not quite — real hardwood adds more resale value and can be refinished multiple times. But LVP wins on waterproofing, scratch resistance, and cost. For kitchens, basements, and homes with pets, LVP is often the better choice.

COREtec and Shaw LVPs have UV-stable wear layers and resist fading. Cheap big-box LVP will fade within 2-3 years in a south-facing sunroom. We don't install that tier.

Yes, if the surface is flat, dry, and sound. LVP is only 6-8 mm thick and needs minimal subfloor prep. Saves you the tear-out cost, but your finish floor height will rise.

Yes — it's the #1 basement flooring on Long Island. Waterproof, flexible, comfortable underfoot. We install a 2mm thermal underlayment for warmth and vapor control over concrete slabs.

Yes — COREtec LVP installation in the Deer Park, Wheatley Heights, and Long Neck corridor of western Suffolk is a regular stop for our crew. The ranches and colonials in that area respond well to COREtec Pro Plus in wide-plank formats for kitchens, mudrooms, and basement living areas. We are a COREtec-trained Installer and carry the full line at our Island Park showroom — about 15 minutes from Deer Park on Route 110. Free in-home estimate with samples brought to your house.

For Long Island kitchens, COREtec Pro Plus XL in the 9-inch wide format is our most-installed recommendation. The thicker core (8mm) handles Nassau and Suffolk's seasonal humidity swings better than thinner 5-6mm LVP, and the wider plank looks more like real hardwood. We also carry COREtec Plus Enhanced and the COREtec One line at the Island Park showroom. Price range for COREtec installed: $5.50–$7.50 per square foot including labor, subfloor prep, and trim.
