Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation in Cullman & Smith Lake

Vinyl plank flooring installed around a tiled fireplace in a Cullman, Alabama living room by Hunter's Ridge Construction.

If you want a clean, durable floor through most of your home, LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is one of the best upgrades you can make. It holds up to kids, pets, and daily traffic. It also looks great in open layouts.

Hunter’s Ridge Construction is a licensed, veteran-owned general contractor based in Cullman, Alabama. We install whole-house LVP flooring in Cullman and around Smith Lake. We start with an on-site walk-through and a clear written estimate.

Whole-House LVP Installation (What It Means)

A whole-house LVP job is not just “new planks in every room.” It is a planned install that flows well and feels solid underfoot.

We focus on:

  • Clean transitions and a consistent look across rooms
  • Flat, stable subfloors (so the floor does not feel soft or hollow)
  • Layout planning (so seams and plank direction look right)
  • Moisture awareness (important in Alabama humidity and lake homes)

Why Cullman and Smith Lake Homeowners Choose LVP

LVP is a strong fit when you want a tough floor that still looks like wood.

LVP is a good choice if you have:

  • Kids and pets
  • Red clay tracked in from the yard or driveway
  • A Smith Lake home with heavy weekend traffic
  • A rental where you want durability and easy cleaning
  • Older floors with squeaks, soft spots, or uneven areas (after we repair the base)

Where whole-house LVP works best

  • Living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and offices
  • Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas (when water risk is handled)
  • Lake homes where sand and water come through the door

When LVP Is Not the Best Fit

We will tell you if LVP is not the right answer.

We may recommend another option if:

  • You want the feel and long-term resale value of real wood in main living areas
  • You have an ongoing water problem (not just spills)
  • The subfloor has major movement from structural issues
  • You need a true waterproof system in a shower or wet room (tile is usually better)

If we find bigger issues, we can talk through the right fix before we install new floors.

The #1 Reason Floors Fail Here: The Subfloor

Most flooring problems start below the surface. This matters even more in older Cullman homes and some lake properties.

During the walk-through, we check for:

  • Soft spots and rot from old leaks
  • Squeaks and loose subfloor panels
  • Low spots and uneven areas (these can cause joint failure)
  • Moisture risk from crawlspaces, slabs, and past plumbing issues

If the base needs repairs, we price it clearly in the estimate. We do not cover it up and hope for the best.

What’s Included in a Whole-House LVP Estimate

Every home is different, but a real estimate usually includes:

  • Measuring and planning the layout across rooms
  • Tear-out and disposal of old flooring (if needed)
  • Subfloor repairs or leveling (if needed)
  • Underlayment choice (comfort and sound, based on your home)
  • LVP installation labor
  • Trim work, baseboards (if needed), and transitions
  • Door clearance changes when required

If you are comparing quotes, make sure you are comparing the same scope. A cheap install that skips prep can cost more later.
