Often yes, but it depends on what’s underneath and its condition. Vinyl can go over most existing hard surfaces if they’re level, clean, and structurally sound.
We can install over ceramic tile, existing vinyl, and some laminate floors without removal. This saves time and money while avoiding the mess of tear-out. However, carpet, loose tiles, or significantly uneven surfaces need to come up first.
The key is proper evaluation. We check for height transitions at doorways, assess subfloor stability, and identify any moisture issues before recommending overlay installation. Sometimes spending a little extra on proper prep saves thousands in problems later.
