✨ Seamless & Strong — from the Subfloor Up

📍What You’re Looking At:
rom bare subfloor to polished Vinyl planking, this project is all about layering up the right way. Every step was taken to build a unified, resilient system from the inside out.

Key Upgrades:

-Vapor barrier + fresh luan underlayment to stabilize the floor
-Click-lock LVT flooring installed through 5 zones with continuous grain direction
-Grab-bar blocking hidden behind HardieBacker in the tub zone
-RedGard waterproofing, custom tile layout with a luxurious marble inset
-Updated entry hardware for both function and form

✅ Do:
✔️ Add blocking behind cement board when planning for grab bars
✔️ Install a vapor barrier even for LVT — long-term moisture resistance is essential
✔️ Coordinate flooring direction for flow and visual consistency

❌ Don’t:
❌ Don’t underestimate subfloor movement — screw it down right
❌ Don’t skip waterproofing in any wet zone, even with durable tile
❌ Don’t leave transitional zones as an afterthought — that’s where most wear shows up

🧠 A space this size needs flow, not fragmentation. Good flooring doesn’t just sit pretty — it connects, it performs, and it holds the whole structure together.

🧾Patient: Multi-surface interior with aging subfloor, outdated tub surround, and worn entry details Client: Condo Association 🤕 Symptoms: -Subfloor creaking and lacking vapor barrier protection -Tub surround framed but unfinished — no water protection or support for safety accessories -Floors across kitchen, hallway, bath, and living area were mismatched, uneven, and visually disjointed -No cohesive transition system between rooms -Entry hardware was loose and dated 🩺 Diagnosis: This unit had the bones, but no connective tissue. The original flooring system had gaps in both alignment and moisture defense. Meanwhile, the bathroom tub area was framed out but structurally unsupported for fixtures — no blocking, no waterproofing, no tile integrity. The subfloor screws were sparse, leaving movement and instability underfoot. A high-traffic unit like this one, with multiple transitional zones and shared ownership, needed consistency, security, and waterproofing at its core — plus hardware updates to bring the entry up to par. 🛠️ Treatment Plan: -Subfloor + Underlayment: -Installed vapor barrier over existing subfloor -Installed 332.5 sq ft of LVT click-lock flooring in a continuous run — bathroom, hallway, kitchen, dining, and living room entry -Laid additional luan sheathing for support and fastened with precision screws to eliminate bounce or gaps Trim & Finishing Touches: -Cut and installed 4 custom transition strips with mitered angles for smooth room-to-room flow -Installed brass deadbolt/entry lock combo at front door Bathroom Revamp: -Framed and added blocking in tub surround to support 2 grab bars -Installed HardieBacker cement board to tub area with proper shims to level out inconsistencies -Applied RedGard waterproofing membrane to all wet wall surfaces -Tiled 78.5 sq ft in total using brilliant white subway tile, bullnose trim, and a hexagonal marble accent band -Installed 1 safety grab bar with shelf, 1 soap dish, and all hardware sealed for long-term use 💡 Prognosis: This condo is now ready for real-life use — durable, safe, and styled clean. The click-lock LVT flooring offers scratch-resistant, water-resistant performance that will last through seasons of wear, while the custom tub surround brings a hotel-like feel to a rental-grade unit. Every room connects visually and physically, with smart transitions and clean lines. This space isn’t just revived — it’s reimagined.
