Yes! High-quality luxury vinyl plank flooring, including our popular COREtec line, is 100% waterproof. This makes LVP an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms — especially in North Carolina's humid climate. The waterproof core prevents moisture damage, warping, and mold growth.

Most residential flooring installations are completed in 1–3 days, depending on the size of your home and the type of flooring. A single room can often be done in one day. Whole-house installations typically take 2–3 days. Cheryl will provide a specific timeline during your consultation.

For pet owners, we recommend luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or waterproof flooring. These options are scratch-resistant, waterproof, easy to clean, and durable enough to handle pet traffic. COREtec LVP is especially popular with pet owners because of its superior scratch resistance and waterproof core.

While both LVP and laminate offer a wood-look appearance at affordable prices, LVP is 100% waterproof while most laminate is not. LVP is also more durable, flexible, and comfortable underfoot. Laminate can be slightly less expensive but is more susceptible to moisture damage — an important consideration in North Carolina.
