LVP is the floor we install more than anything else in Treasure Valley homes right now, and Nampa is no exception. It looks like hardwood, handles water and dog nails, and goes in fast. Here’s what an install in Nampa actually runs and how it works.
Cost
Installed LVP runs $5–9 per square foot all-in, with a $650 minimum. Labor-only runs $2–3 per square foot if you already have the material. What moves the number is the size of the job, the condition of the subfloor, and whether old flooring needs to come out first.
The process
Measure the rooms, pull up the old floor if there is one, prep the subfloor — Nampa has a mix of newer builds and older homes, and older subfloors often need leveling before planks go down — then install the LVP, and finish with baseboards. Most rooms take a day; a whole house takes a few.
Where LVP works best
Kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways — anywhere you want the hardwood look without the hardwood maintenance. It handles spills and pet traffic better than laminate or hardwood, which is why it’s the default pick for busy households.
LVP vs. laminate, honestly
They look similar in a showroom but behave differently around water. If you want the full comparison, here’s the one we wrote: https://boisehomeflooring.com/lvp-vs-laminate-boise/
