Choose tile for
Bathrooms, showers, kitchens, laundry rooms, flood-prone ground floors and rental units that see heavy wear.
Choose LVP for
Bedrooms, upper-floor condos with sound rules (check your association's underlayment requirement), and faster renovations.
Don't forget tear-out
Removing old tile is often the dustiest, heaviest part of the job. Make sure your quote covers demo and haul-away. Text photos to (561) 345-9808 — you get a price back before anyone shows up, and you never pay for an estimate visit.
Common questions
Is LVP waterproof?
Most LVP is water-resistant on the surface, but standing flood water can still get under it. Tile on a slab recovers better.
Do condos restrict flooring?
Many require a sound-rated underlayment for hard floors above the ground level. Get the rule in writing before buying.
