A tip for Glocester homes
Older floors around Glocester often have dips. LVP shows every one, so leveling the subfloor first is what makes it look right for years.
Homes in Glocester
Glocester is in Providence County, RI. Most of the housing here is older homes in Chepachet and Harmony and lake houses around town.
LVP for lake and seasonal houses in Glocester
Lake homes swing hard on humidity and often sit closed and unheated for weeks. Rigid-core LVP is waterproof and dimensionally stable, so it does not cup or gap the way laminate and solid wood can. We still leave proper expansion space at walls, since temperature swings move every floor.
LVP in antique and historic homes in Glocester
In older Glocester homes, LVP often goes over original pine or oak that is too worn to refinish. We protect what is underneath with an underlayment instead of nailing through it, undercut old casings rather than cutting trim, and pick plank widths that suit the period of the house.
LVP for busy country homes in Glocester
Mudrooms, entries and kitchens in rural homes see boots, dogs and grit every day. A rigid-core plank with a thicker wear layer, 20 mil or more, holds up far better than thin, flexible vinyl, and it keeps a wet entry from becoming a subfloor repair later.

Do you offer lvp flooring installation in Glocester?

What flooring works in a lake house in Glocester?
Rigid-core LVP or porcelain tile, because they handle humidity and long closed-up periods. Solid hardwood and most laminate are poor fits.
Should I cover the original floors in my Glocester home?
Sometimes they are worth refinishing instead. If they are too damaged, we can float a new floor over them with an underlayment so the originals are protected, not nailed through.
