Premier Vinyl and Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation

From Top Industry Professionals


Vinyl flooring or LVP (luxury vinyl plank) have become the most popular flooring choice for homes today. This is true for new builds and flooring renovations done in older homes. There is good reason for this popularity. Although traditional flooring, with real hardwood and stone, can be desirable, the cost of this kind of flooring can be unattainable for many. Furthermore, hardwood flooring is vulnerable to scratches and damage. Repairs for these authentic materials are not as simple or again as affordable as their modern counterparts in vinyl.

On the other hand, vinyl flooring is both aesthetically appealing and financially accessible. The versatile selection of patterns and the durability of vinyl make it an option for any home with any aesthetic. This is why we see this kind of flooring in both houses, new and old. Whatever your flooring needs and desires may be, there is a vinyl floor that will satisfy both.

At Footprints Floors we specialize in the installation of vinyl and LVP flooring . If you are currently in search of vinyl floor installation in Plainfield / Joliet, give Footprints Floors a call and request a free consultation. We only employ qualified, licensed contractors to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality flooring installation.

Why LVP or Vinyl Flooring?

Durable/Water Resistant
Variety of Patterns
Cost Effective

Vinyl or luxury vinyl flooring can be an ideal choice for any home or any room. These flooring types are durable and water resistant making them exceptional choices for bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms and entryways. The maintenance of vinyl is simple and easy. Just another attribute that makes this material a great candidate for flooring in those high traffic areas of your home.

In addition, LVP or vinyl flooring features flawless images, realistic textures and individual planks, sheets or tiles to give the look and feel of the material of your choosing. With an array of patterns and images to choose from, vinyl can achieve the appearance of real hardwood, marble, ceramic, stone, or something entirely unique! Your floors can become the statement piece you desire and at a fraction of the price when you choose vinyl.

Comparing Vinyl and Laminate

Vinyl and linoleum have different advantages in any remodeling project. Consider your specific needs and preferences to make the best choice for your home or business. Here are a few reasons why choosing vinyl floor installation in Plainfield / Joliet may be better for your project.

One of the main advantages of vinyl flooring is its water resistance. Luxury vinyl plank, or LVP flooring, is made from synthetic materials, which makes it impervious to water and resistant to moisture damage. This makes it an ideal choice for areas prone to spills, such as kitchens and bathrooms, or spaces like the basement that are vulnerable to flooding. In contrast, linoleum is made from natural materials such as linseed oil and cork, which can be susceptible to water damage over time. While linoleum can be sealed to help prevent water damage, it may not be as durable as vinyl in areas with high humidity or moisture.

Another advantage of vinyl flooring is its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Vinyl is made from multiple layers, including a wear layer that helps protect the surface from scratches and dents. This makes it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways and entryways and homes with pets or children. Linoleum is durable but may require regular maintenance to maintain its appearance and prevent wear.

LVP flooring also offers a wider variety of design options than linoleum. Vinyl can mimic the look of hardwood, tile, or stone and come in a wide range of colors and patterns. If you’re looking to breathe fresh air into your space, vinyl flooring offers a diverse range of styles so you can find the perfect design choice for your home or business. On the other hand, linoleum may have more limited design options and may not be as versatile in matching different design styles.

Modern vinyl flooring has evolved over the past few years into a diverse array of styles and finishes that can fit into the style and aesthetic of most homes. It’s also a great affordable and long-lasting choice. With many homeowners choosing to remodel an older home or make improvements to their current estate, vinyl flooring can be an excellent choice to update the design of a room. Footprints Floors has trained staff to make vinyl plank flooring installation a smooth process for homeowners in Plainfield / Joliet.

What To Expect With Installation:

When you have hired Footprints Floors to do your flooring installation, you can count on a few things.
  • Professional skilled contractors
  • Affordable rates
  • Quality installation
  • Preparation and clean-up

We at Footprints Floors are a family-founded company. We take great pride in providing high quality work at an affordable rate. We accomplish this by employing skilled contractors capable of impeccable flooring installation. In addition, our business model of providing the labor for floor installation and leaving out the showroom maintenance, (we do not sell flooring), allows us to cut costs and share that savings with our clients. Even though we do not sell our own flooring, should you like recommendations for flooring retailers, we can provide you the contact information for those we trust. Furthermore, because of this business model, your flooring selection will not be limited by a finite inventory. You may have your pick from any vendor allowing your design possibilities to be limitless.

When you schedule an appointment with Footprints Floors for flooring installation, we will perform the demolition of your current floor, an assessment of subflooring, lay a new underlayment (if necessary), install the new vinyl flooring and clean up the entire work site. When we leave your home, you will have a beautiful new space to enjoy and admire.

Other Considerations When Choosing Vinyl:

You are now familiar with the many positive attributes of vinyl and LVP, and may be wondering if there are any other aspects that need to be considered before making your selection. We have a few pro-tips for you to keep in mind.

Vinyl Quality Can Vary


While vinyl floors can be an affordable option, you do want to take care when selecting your vinyl product. Not all vinyl or LVP floors are made with the same quality standards. If in doubt feel free to ask our expert opinion on selecting a high quality product.

Vinyl Floors can be Difficult to Remove


Depending on the method of installation for the vinyl floors, removal can be labor intensive. Fortunately, you can call us to assist in any repairs, or floor removal and installation needs. We will take the stress of labor intensive work off your hands and guarantee a quality job.

Caring for LVP Flooring


Vinyl plank floors are durable, and most will last for years if properly installed and maintained. Here are a few tips from the experts at Footprints Floors:

  • Use cleaning products designed for vinyl floors, and avoid harsh chemicals. We recommend LOBA floor care products to maintain the beauty and durability of your floors. These specially formulated products provide gentle yet effective cleaning and maintenance for various types of flooring.
  • Do not use any products such as waxes, polishes, or oil soaps on your floors. These products can cause a dull film to form over time.
  • Use furniture pads under the legs of all chairs, tables, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents.
  • Clean spills as soon as they happen. For liquids like wine or juice, blot instead of wipe to prevent spreading. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for treating stains, as different flooring types require different cleaning methods.

Will the top image fade?

No, the top image will not fade. The image embossed on the vinyl is sealed with a highly durable, clear coat to ensure the flooring looks beautiful for years.

Vinyl flooring is toxic

Many worry that these floors may be toxic. It is true that older vinyl floors were made with more questionable materials. However, today the industry is required to follow strict guidelines set by the EPA to ensure vinyl products are safe for inside the home.

Vinyl and laminate are the same

These two floor types may appear to be similar. In fact, they are both composed of entirely different materials. These different materials produce different characteristics in the flooring. A vinyl floor will be both more flexible and more water resistant than that of a laminate floor.

What Our Customers Say

Amazing work done! Absolutely love how it all turned out. Highly recommend them. And our green toilet is finally gone! Thank you so much.
Bob Schmidt 10/19/25 — google
Great company! Alyssa is wonderful to work with. They are professional, responsive, and truly cares about her customers. I highly recommend Footprints Floors!
Trang Rose 10/9/25 — google
I had a consult with Alissa about fixing a floor issue & it was a great experience. She was prompt with all her communications & with getting the quote to me. Her prices were fair as well.
Jenni Hans 10/9/25 — google
Today we had the backsplash in our kitchen tiled and it was a beautiful job. The installer Jose sure knew his business. Alyssa who comes out to estimate the work and set up the dates and gives you the supply list is very knowledgeable about not only the products that will work for you where you can purchase them and setting dates and times. I highly recommend them if you're thinking of doing any type of tiling in your home.
Lucille Harding 10/8/25 — google
Great price and high quality work completed in a timely manner, would 100% recommend working with them.
Elliot Salrin 09/17/25 — google
Our floors look beautiful! The technicians took great pride in their work.
Carolyn J. 07/14/25 — google
I had several estimates on a 6x5 area of solid wood flooring and several porcelain tiles that needed repair. The estimates were crazy high. One man said he might even have to take door frames off which was totally unnecessary (He even showed me pictures of his home in Mexico where he had just shipped a $1000 chandilier. I think his estimate included that cost) and the original installer told me he had a minimum charge to start and was basing it off pictures rather than coming out to view the job. Alissa came out and was very honest with an estimate. I felt trust in her and after talking it over with my husband we agreed to go with Footprints for our repair. She sent out Cesar who did an amazing job. I was extremely happy with the work. Trust in Footprints! I will be hiring them again!
Dale Prohl 07/9/25 — google
They were polite prompt and did an amazing job. Alissa answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. Amazing price for amazing work.
James Burns 07/7/25 — google
I couldn’t be more happy with my floors. Our original hardwood floors have been restored so beautifully and it was such a breezy smooth process working with Footprints Floors. They are the best!
Tracy Danet 06/26/25 — google
Footprints Floors did an amazing job with our floor. The process was explained in detail before the work began. There was minimal to no dust left after sanding and we were able to see our top choices of stain before selecting which one looked best. They are kind, courteous and performed exemplary work.
Melissa Allsteadt 06/25/25 — google
Amazing experience! Everything went exactly as planning, communication was clear from the start, and the workers did exceptional work! Thank you!!
Jennifer Michael 06/16/25 — google

Brittney 06/12/25 — google
We couldn’t be more thrilled with the work Footprints Floors of Plainfield & Joliet did on our stairs and floors. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Alissa was our main point of contact and handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and clear communication. She kept us informed and confident every step of the way. The true magic happened when Juan got to work. He approached every inch of our home with meticulous care and attention to detail. What seemed like a hopeless mess—deep scratches on every stair, blotchy stain patches, and uneven sanding—was completely transformed. Juan’s craftsmanship erased every flaw and revealed the beautiful wood underneath that we had almost given up on. The final result is exactly what we envisioned—flawless, smooth, and stunning floors and stairs that have completely elevated our home. Footprints didn’t just fix a problem; they restored beauty and quality with precision and pride. We’re so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, integrity, and excellence in flooring.
Christie Hartman 06/10/25 — google
Footprints recently installed Cortec Luxury Vinyl flooring in our home on the entire 2nd floor and did an amazing job. The project was done on time as promised with attention to the details and Alissa answered any questions we had from start to finish.

Very accommodating, friendly and courteous. From beginning to end of project.
Allen Johnson Jr 06/2/25 — google
Footprints did an amazing job on refinishing our 100 yo floors and staircase today including banister. The team worked really hard and were very dedicated to doing a perfect job. I definitely highly recommend them!! We’ll be going back to them for another job later refinishing our kitchen floors.
Inara 05/8/25 — google
I am so happy with my refinished floors and staircase! Alissa was very professional and was in contact with me throughout the entire process . The workers showed up on time and completed the job in a very timely manner. I was so impressed with their work, I am having them do my kitchen floors too. Great company.
Julie 04/24/25 — google
I highly recommend Footprints Floors. They ripped up our carpet, installed wood, and refinished it to match our existing wood. It looks great! They also installed lvl in our laundry room. Price was fair and Alissa was very communicative during the process.
ginna ricaurte 04/8/25 — google
We had a great experience with Footprints. They had fair pricing and were able to get into our new home on quick notice. And the floors look beautiful! Highly recommend Alissa & the Footprints team!
Christina Muri Irland 03/21/25 — google
Had my floors refinished in my over 100 year old house. I did not have high hopes because they were in really bad shape. Alissa gave me a great estimate. It included fixing holes, replacing rotten wood and adding quarter round. They came out amazing. I feel like I’m in a new house. Alissa was very hands on and visited during the process as well as answered my texts and questions right away. I highly recommend this business. You won’t be disappointed.(The colors vary because the wood in the rooms were different types)
