Gilbert Flooring Remodel — LVP Install & Kitchen Reface

Project Overview

This Gilbert, Arizona flooring remodel transformed the main living areas with beautiful Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout the entire house—except the bedrooms. Paired with a kitchen cabinet refacing project, we created a comprehensive update that gave this home a fresh, modern look with coordinated materials and quality finishes throughout.

We installed high-quality Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout all main living areas, creating clean, contemporary foundation that complements the updated kitchen. LVP provides authentic wood appearance with waterproof construction, scratch resistance, and comfortable underfoot feel. The consistent flooring throughout kitchen, dining room, living room, hallways, and other common areas creates unified appearance that makes the home feel larger and more intentionally designed.

The strategic decision to keep existing bedroom flooring demonstrates smart budget allocation—directing investment toward high-visibility, high-traffic areas where new flooring delivers maximum impact. Main living areas receive the most daily use and visibility from guests, making them ideal candidates for flooring upgrades. Bedrooms with quality existing flooring can be updated later or left as-is, allowing budget to focus on spaces that influence daily experience and home presentation most significantly.

To complete the professional transformation, we installed custom 5 1/2″ square eased edge baseboards throughout, creating substantial trim presence that elevates the entire renovation. The generous baseboard height (5.5″ versus standard 3-4″) provides contemporary proportions that feel custom and intentional. The square eased edge profile delivers clean, modern styling without ornate detailing—perfect complement to LVP’s streamlined appearance. These finishing details separate professional installations from basic renovations.

The result is a cohesive main living space with beautiful, durable flooring and substantial custom trim that transforms the home’s daily experience. This project demonstrates how coordinated updates (kitchen cabinet refacing, new LVP flooring, custom baseboards) create comprehensive transformation efficiently while working within budget parameters.

Why This Design Works for Gilbert Homes

Strategic flooring installation in main living areas while preserving bedroom flooring represents smart renovation approach that maximizes budget impact. Main living spaces—kitchen, dining, living room, hallways—receive the most daily use, guest visibility, and wear. Directing flooring investment to these high-impact areas delivers maximum transformation for budget invested. Bedrooms with acceptable existing flooring can be updated later when budget allows or left as-is if they’re in good condition. This phased approach allows homeowners to transform their home’s presentation without overspending on less visible spaces.

LVP flooring excels in Arizona’s climate through dimensional stability, waterproof construction, and easy maintenance ideal for desert living. Arizona’s temperature extremes and low humidity challenge traditional hardwood flooring. LVP provides authentic wood appearance without real wood’s gapping, warping, or cracking concerns. The waterproof construction handles spills in kitchen and dining areas without damage. The comfortable underfoot feel and easy sweep-and-mop maintenance make it ideal for busy family homes. For Gilbert homeowners wanting wood appearance with practical Arizona-appropriate performance, LVP represents excellent choice.

Oversized baseboards (5.5″ versus standard 3-4″) create contemporary proportions that elevate homes from builder-grade to custom appearance. Taller baseboards provide visual weight that balances modern flooring and creates intentional, designed aesthetic. The square eased edge profile delivers clean lines perfect for contemporary and transitional styles without the fussiness of ornate traditional profiles. This substantial trim investment pays dividends through perceived quality and custom character it brings to every room. The professional finishing detail demonstrates attention to design throughout the renovation.

Coordinating flooring installations with kitchen renovations creates unified transformation that maximizes impact and efficiency. When kitchen cabinets are being refaced or updated, installing new flooring simultaneously ensures seamless integration, avoids future disruption of returning to renovate floors later, and creates cohesive design throughout main living areas. The coordinated approach delivers better results than sequential room-by-room updates spread over time. For homeowners pursuing kitchen updates, including flooring in the same project represents smart planning that delivers comprehensive transformation efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace flooring in bedrooms or just main living areas?

Replace flooring in main living areas first when budget requires prioritization, existing bedroom flooring is in acceptable condition, or you want maximum impact for investment. Main areas (kitchen, dining, living, hallways) receive most daily use and guest visibility—making them ideal for flooring upgrades. Bedrooms can be updated later when budget allows. Replace bedroom flooring when it’s damaged or very dated, you’re doing whole-home renovation anyway, or you want complete consistency throughout. Strategic approach: update high-visibility areas first, then tackle bedrooms in future phase if desired.

What size baseboards should I install?

Baseboard height depends on ceiling height and desired aesthetic. Standard 3-4″ baseboards work in homes with 8′ ceilings and traditional styling. Taller 5-6″ baseboards suit homes with 9-10’+ ceilings and contemporary styling, create custom proportions, and provide substantial presence. For modern or transitional homes with new flooring, 5.5″ baseboards deliver contemporary proportions that feel intentional and designed. Square profiles with eased edges provide clean modern styling while ornate profiles suit traditional homes. Professional consultation can recommend ideal baseboard height and profile for your specific home and renovation goals.

Should I coordinate flooring with kitchen renovation?

Yes! Coordinating flooring installation with kitchen renovation delivers unified transformation, avoids future disruption (no need to return later for floors), ensures seamless integration of materials, and often costs less than sequential projects due to efficient scheduling. When kitchen cabinets are being refaced, painted, or replaced, installing new flooring simultaneously creates cohesive design throughout main living areas. The comprehensive approach maximizes renovation impact while minimizing total disruption time. For homeowners planning kitchen updates, including flooring in same project represents smart strategy that delivers superior results.

How does LVP perform compared to real hardwood?

LVP outperforms real hardwood in several ways: waterproof construction (no water damage from spills), dimensional stability (no gapping or warping with Arizona’s climate changes), scratch resistance (better for active households and pets), lower maintenance (no refinishing needed), and lower cost. Real hardwood offers authentic material that can be refinished but requires careful climate control, shows water damage and scratches, and costs significantly more. For Arizona homeowners wanting wood appearance with superior practical performance, quality LVP provides ideal solution. Professional installation ensures lasting beauty and performance.
