Subfloor prep
Flatness is everything. Uneven subfloors show up as clicking and gaps, so price the prep honestly.
Quotes per square foot
Separate material, removal of the old floor, prep and installation. Homeowners trust a quote they can read.
Samples
Bring samples to the home. Seeing the color in their own light closes the job.
Trim and transitions
Baseboards, quarter round and transitions are where the job looks professional. Include them in the quote.
Photos
Before and after photos of whole rooms sell the next job. Post them on your profile and on Nextdoor.
Partners
Realtors, property managers and kitchen remodelers send flooring work all year.
Common mistakes
Skipping acclimation, no expansion gap and not undercutting door casings.

Can LVP go over an existing floor?
Often yes, if the existing floor is solid, flat and within the manufacturer's tolerances. Always follow the brand's installation instructions to protect the warranty.
