📸 These photos show:

• The installation of new LifeProof vinyl plank flooring over the existing LVT surface — no demolition required.

• Repairs to minor subfloor imperfections before installation to ensure a perfectly level, secure foundation.

• Detailed scribing and tight-fit precision around the natural stone hearth, creating the illusion of poured flooring.

• Seamless transitions at doorways and walls, with baseboards and trim reinstalled for a factory-finish appearance.

• The finished result — a clean, modern basement floor that feels solid, looks refined, and performs better than new.

Maintenance Do’s & Don’ts:
✅ DO:

• Consider floating floors for quick upgrades without demolition.

• Repair and level any underlying imperfections before installing new layers.

• Use premium scribing and edge-tightening techniques near irregular edges like hearths or stonework.

⛔ DON’T:

• Assume all old floors must be removed — layered systems can work beautifully when properly prepped.

• Rush detailed cuts or rely on caulk to fix misalignment — precision is everything in finish work.

Contractor Insight:
This project shows how layered remodeling, when done right, can completely transform a space without disruption. Every cut, seam, and transition was handled with surgical precision — proving that craftsmanship isn’t about how much you remove, but how perfectly you rebuild on what’s already there.
