Luxury vinyl plank flooring in Isle of Palms, SC

Unlike hardwood or laminate, quality rigid-core LVP is fully waterproof from top to bottom - not just water-resistant. Sand tracked in from the beach, salt spray, humidity, even a slow leak won't warp or damage it, which matters enormously on a barrier island where every one of those is a regular occurrence.

It also looks the part. Today's LVP comes in wide-plank wood visuals and stone-look tile patterns that are hard to distinguish from the real thing at a glance, without any of the maintenance.

Installed rigid-core LVP on the island typically runs $6-11 per square foot depending on plank width, wear layer thickness, and any subfloor prep needed. It's usually less expensive than hardwood installed and considerably lower-maintenance over time.

We give you an exact, written number after a free in-home measurement - no guessing based on square footage alone, since underlayment and prep needs vary house to house.

Entries, mudrooms, kitchens, baths, and ground-level living spaces are the obvious fits - anywhere sand and moisture come through the door first. Plenty of homeowners now run LVP through an entire main level for one consistent look and zero weak points.

If you're weighing it against tile flooring for a specific room, we'll talk through both during your estimate - tile edges out LVP for pure water exposure, while LVP wins on comfort underfoot and installed cost.
