Engineered Hardwood & LVP Flooring FAQs

What is the difference between engineered hardwood and LVP?

At Next Level Home Solutions, we install both options depending on your needs.

Engineered hardwood is real wood with layered construction for added stability and a natural look.

LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is a durable, waterproof flooring designed to replicate the look of wood while offering superior moisture resistance.

Which flooring option is best for my home?

That depends on your lifestyle, budget, and the space. Engineered hardwood adds warmth and long-term value, while LVP is ideal for busy households, pets, kids, and areas prone to moisture. We walk you through the pros and cons during your free estimate.

Is LVP really waterproof?

Yes. The LVP products we install are 100% waterproof, making them a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and high-traffic areas.

Can engineered hardwood handle Texas humidity?

Yes. Engineered hardwood is designed to handle temperature and humidity changes better than solid hardwood when properly installed—making it a great fit for Texas homes.
