What You Get With Quality Vinyl

Your mornings become easier when you’re not worrying about water damage from spilled coffee or scratches from the dog’s nails. Quality vinyl flooring gives you that peace of mind.

You’ll spend less time maintaining your floors and more time enjoying your home. No more refinishing, no more worry about humidity warping your investment. Just sweep, mop when needed, and move on with your day.

The right vinyl flooring installation also means your home value stays protected. When neighbors are dealing with damaged hardwood or worn carpet, your floors still look like they were installed yesterday. That matters whether you’re staying put or thinking about selling down the road.

Emerald Vista Flooring Contractors

We Know Texas Floors

Flooring Solutions and More has been installing vinyl flooring in Texas homes since we understood that what works in other climates doesn’t always work here. Texas humidity, temperature swings, and active lifestyles demand flooring that can handle the reality.

We’re not the cheapest option in Emerald Vista, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for proper subfloor preparation, quality materials that won’t buckle in summer heat, and installation techniques that prevent the problems we see other contractors leave behind.

Our team lives here too. We understand what Texas homeowners need because we deal with the same climate challenges in our own homes.

Vinyl Flooring Installation Process

How We Install Your Floors

First, we evaluate your existing subfloor and address any issues before installation begins. This step prevents future problems that cheaper contractors skip. We’ll also discuss your specific needs – pets, kids, high-traffic areas – so we can recommend the right vinyl product.

Installation day starts with protecting your furniture and belongings. We remove old flooring if needed, prep the subfloor to manufacturer specifications, and install your new vinyl flooring using proper expansion techniques for Texas climate conditions.

The final step includes a thorough cleanup and walkthrough. We’ll show you proper maintenance techniques and provide warranty information. Most residential installations complete in one to two days, depending on square footage and complexity.

How long does vinyl flooring last in Texas climate?

Quality vinyl flooring properly installed can last 15-25 years in Texas homes. The key factors are proper subfloor preparation, using moisture barriers where needed, and choosing vinyl products designed for temperature fluctuations. Cheaper vinyl or poor installation typically shows problems within 3-5 years, especially buckling during summer heat or gaps during winter. We use commercial-grade adhesives and expansion techniques that account for Texas climate conditions, which significantly extends floor life compared to basic installation methods.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is thicker, more durable, and looks more realistic than standard vinyl flooring. LVP typically ranges from 4-8mm thick with multiple layers including a tough wear layer, while regular vinyl is usually 2-3mm. The thicker construction means better sound absorption, more comfortable walking surface, and superior resistance to dents and scratches. LVP also handles temperature changes better, making it ideal for Texas homes. While it costs more upfront, the durability and appearance make it worth the investment for most homeowners.
Sometimes, but it depends on what’s underneath and its condition. We can install vinyl over existing vinyl, linoleum, or concrete if the surface is level, clean, and structurally sound. However, we typically recommend removing old flooring to properly assess and prepare the subfloor. This prevents future problems like squeaking, uneven surfaces, or premature wear. Installing over damaged or uneven existing floors often leads to warranty issues and shortened floor life. A proper evaluation during our estimate determines the best approach for your specific situation.
Regular maintenance is simple but important for vinyl flooring longevity. Sweep or vacuum daily to prevent dirt from scratching the surface. Mop weekly with a pH-neutral cleaner – avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the wear layer. Clean spills immediately, even though vinyl is waterproof. Use furniture pads to prevent scratches and consider area rugs in high-traffic zones. Avoid steam mops, which can damage seams over time. With proper care, your vinyl floors will maintain their appearance for decades.
Vinyl flooring installation typically ranges from $3-8 per square foot installed, depending on the product quality, subfloor condition, and job complexity. Basic vinyl starts around $3-4 per square foot, while luxury vinyl plank runs $5-8 per square foot. Additional costs include subfloor repairs, moisture barriers, or removing existing flooring. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Quality installation costs more upfront but prevents expensive problems later.
Modern vinyl flooring is safe for families and pets when you choose quality products from reputable manufacturers. Look for vinyl flooring certified as low-VOC or phthalate-free. The waterproof surface resists bacteria and allergens, making it more hygienic than carpet or some hardwood finishes. Vinyl’s scratch resistance handles pet nails better than hardwood, and the smooth surface makes cleaning pet accidents simple. We can recommend specific vinyl products that meet strict indoor air quality standards while providing the durability active families need.
