Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are the top choices for replacing builder carpet. LVP offers waterproof durability and easy maintenance ($3–$7/sq ft installed), while engineered hardwood provides a premium look ($7–$12/sq ft installed). Both work well with the open-concept layouts common in newer homes.

Yes — newer homes typically have OSB or plywood subfloors that are ideal for hardwood installation. We check for levelness and moisture content before installation. Engineered hardwood can be glued or floated, while solid hardwood is typically nailed down for the most stable, squeak-free result.

Open-concept homes benefit from continuous flooring throughout living areas — it makes spaces feel larger and creates visual flow. We recommend a single material from the front entrance through kitchen, dining, and living areas, with transitions only at bedrooms and bathrooms.
