Floors That Work as Hard as You Do

Your floors take a beating. Kids, pets, spills, daily traffic – and that’s just Tuesday. You need flooring that looks great but doesn’t demand constant babying.

Vinyl flooring gives you exactly that. It’s waterproof, so kitchen spills and bathroom splashes don’t send you into panic mode. It’s scratch-resistant, which means your dog’s nails and your kids’ toys won’t leave permanent reminders. And it’s easy to clean – a quick sweep and occasional mop keeps it looking fresh.

But here’s what really matters: today’s vinyl flooring doesn’t look like the stuff from decades ago. Advanced printing technology creates floors that are nearly impossible to distinguish from real hardwood or stone. You get the beauty you want with the durability your life demands.

Vinyl Flooring Options Huntington NY

Every Type of Vinyl Flooring for Every Need

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is our most popular choice for Huntington homeowners. It mimics hardwood perfectly and comes in wider planks that make rooms feel more spacious. The click-lock installation means faster, cleaner installation with superior stability.

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) works beautifully in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways. You get the look of ceramic or stone tile with better comfort underfoot and easier maintenance. No grout lines to scrub or worry about.

Sheet vinyl remains the most cost-effective option for larger areas. Today’s sheet vinyl comes in sophisticated patterns and textures that rival more expensive materials. It’s completely waterproof and ideal for basements, laundry rooms, or any area where moisture is a concern.

All our vinyl options are designed for Long Island’s climate and lifestyle. They handle humidity changes better than hardwood and stand up to the sand and salt that inevitably make their way into coastal homes.

How long does luxury vinyl plank flooring last in high-traffic areas?

Quality LVP flooring typically lasts 15-20 years in high-traffic areas when properly installed and maintained. The wear layer thickness determines durability – we recommend at least 12-mil wear layers for busy households, with 20-mil or higher for commercial applications. The key is proper installation over a well-prepared subfloor. When vinyl flooring fails prematurely, it’s usually due to subfloor issues, not the vinyl itself. That’s why we take extra care with subfloor preparation – it’s the foundation of a long-lasting floor. Regular maintenance extends life significantly. Simple daily sweeping and weekly damp mopping prevent grit from wearing down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals and use furniture pads to prevent scratches from chair legs and heavy furniture.

Is vinyl flooring really waterproof for kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes, but there’s an important distinction. The vinyl material itself is waterproof, but the installation method determines overall water resistance. Luxury vinyl plank and tile with proper installation create a waterproof barrier when seams are correctly sealed. For areas with significant water exposure like bathrooms, we recommend luxury vinyl tile or sheet vinyl over LVP. LVT has fewer seams, and sheet vinyl has no seams at all in smaller rooms. We also install proper transition strips and use waterproof adhesives where needed. The subfloor preparation is crucial. We ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and dry before installation. Any moisture issues in the subfloor must be addressed first, or you’ll have problems regardless of the flooring type. This is especially important in Long Island’s humid climate.

What's the difference between luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) mimics hardwood flooring and comes in long, narrow planks typically 6-9 inches wide and 36-48 inches long. It’s designed to replicate wood grain patterns and comes in wood-toned colors. LVP works best in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you want the warmth of wood. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) replicates stone, ceramic, or marble and comes in square or rectangular tile shapes. Sizes typically range from 12×12 inches to 24×24 inches. LVT offers more design flexibility and works particularly well in kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where you want the sophisticated look of stone. Both offer the same durability and water resistance. The choice comes down to the aesthetic you prefer and the room’s function. Many homeowners use LVP in living areas and LVT in wet areas for a cohesive but varied look throughout their home.

How much does vinyl flooring installation cost in Huntington, NY?

Vinyl flooring installation in Huntington typically ranges from $3-8 per square foot, including materials and labor. Basic sheet vinyl starts around $3-4 per square foot, while premium luxury vinyl plank or tile ranges from $5-8 per square foot. Several factors affect cost: the vinyl type you choose, room size and layout, subfloor condition, and any prep work needed. Complex layouts with multiple angles or transitions cost more than simple rectangular rooms. Removing existing flooring adds $1-2 per square foot. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no surprises. Our estimates include materials, labor, subfloor preparation, and cleanup. We also offer financing options to help make your flooring project more manageable. Most installations are completed in 1-2 days, minimizing disruption to your routine.

Can vinyl flooring handle Long Island's humidity and temperature changes?

Yes, vinyl flooring is ideal for Long Island’s climate. Unlike hardwood, which expands and contracts significantly with humidity changes, vinyl remains dimensionally stable. This makes it perfect for coastal homes where humidity levels fluctuate seasonally. Quality vinyl flooring includes a rigid core that resists expansion and contraction. Luxury vinyl plank with SPC (stone plastic composite) cores performs particularly well in varying conditions. The material won’t cup, crown, or gap like hardwood can in humid environments. Proper acclimation is still important. We bring the vinyl to your home 48 hours before installation so it can adjust to your indoor temperature and humidity. We also leave appropriate expansion gaps around the perimeter, though these are much smaller than required for hardwood. This attention to detail prevents issues down the road.

What maintenance does vinyl flooring require to keep it looking new?

Vinyl flooring maintenance is refreshingly simple. Daily sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Weekly damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner keeps it looking fresh. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water. For deeper cleaning, use a vinyl floor cleaner specifically designed for your flooring type. Clean spills immediately to prevent staining, though most modern vinyl resists stains well. Place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in dirt and sand, which is especially important in Long Island’s coastal environment. Use furniture pads under heavy pieces to prevent indentations and scratches. Trim pet nails regularly and avoid dragging furniture across the floor. With this basic care, your vinyl flooring will maintain its appearance for decades. Most manufacturers offer 15-25 year warranties when proper maintenance is followed.
