Porcelain, LVP, and engineered wood — floors that handle real kitchens, installed flat and true.
Kitchen flooring takes more abuse than any floor in the house — drops, spills, chair legs, and traffic. Pro installation starts with the subfloor: flattening, underlayment, and moisture checks, then the floor itself — porcelain tile, luxury vinyl plank, or engineered wood — laid with tight joints and clean transitions into the next room.
Flatness, deflection, and moisture checked before anything is laid.
The toughest kitchen surface going — set over proper backer with quality thinset.
Waterproof, warm underfoot, and forgiving over imperfect subfloors.
Real-wood warmth with better dimensional stability than solid in kitchen conditions.
Flush, finished transitions to the rooms the kitchen touches.
Ranges and dishwashers re-seated level, base and shoe molding finished clean.
Delaware’s seasons are the floor’s stress test — humid summers, dry heated winters, and freeze-thaw at every exterior door. Wilmington’s older homes add their own variables: rowhome kitchens over crawlspaces, plank subfloors under layers of old vinyl, and floors that have settled out of level over a century. Local pros flatten first, acclimate the material to the house, and leave expansion room where the season swing demands it.
Porcelain for pure durability, LVP for waterproof warmth, engineered wood for looks. The right answer depends on the subfloor and how you use the room — call and talk it through.
Most kitchen floors install in one to three days. Tile adds cure time before heavy appliances slide back.
LVP sometimes can; tile generally shouldn’t. Layer height at doorways and appliances usually makes removal the right call.
