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 Portland / Portsmouth, 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 Portland / Portsmouth 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 Portland / Portsmouth.

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

Ralph and his team were fantastic. Even when we hit an unexpected road bump (absolutely nothing Ralph and his team could have prevented or foreseen) he managed to keep us on schedule and talked us through our options multiple times to make sure we found an option that worked for us budget-wise while still insuring the integrity of our new floors. We only did our first floor for now, but I have zero doubt in my mind that we will pick Floorprints again when we do our second floor!

Ralph and his crew refinished our hardwood floors. Ralph was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. The quality of the work was good s]and the price was reasonable.
Rick Diamond 10/13/25 — google
Excellent work: communication, execution, product, advice, problem-solving. We were on vacation while this was done. Ralph & his team were a pleasure to have here. Not only did they install new but refinished & matched old. Fantastic.
Lisa Haith 10/11/25 — google
Great work on our basement reno, including some tricky leveling work. We had them recommend and supply materials. The LVP install was fast and looked fantastic. Price was more than big box retailers but so worth it for the quality of work and durability of the floor. Would definitely go to Footprints Floors again for future projects.
Cedar Oliver 10/11/25 — google
Great crew. Respectful, clean, efficient. This was not easy for our 200 year old farmhouse and older occupants to prepare. Worth the inconvenience to enjoy the beauty of our wide pine flooring. Wish I had done this ten years ago! Thank you, Ralph for great, efficient service !
Lynda Murphy 10/3/25 — google

Ralph and his co-workers were friendly helpful, and highly professional when working with us to install new stairs in our 30 year old home. The project was completed in a timely and excellent manner with high quality materials. The old materials were disposed of and the mess contained. One fellow even used a feather duster to make sure the nearby room was clean. We appreciate the time and care that went into the work. We would absolutely use Footprints Floors for our next project!
Zeno Henninger 09/18/25 — google
Footprints Floors is absolutely phenomenal to work with. Ralph and the team are incredibly skilled and professional, and deliver on time with high quality at a very fair price! We had three bedrooms with carpet and requested that they match the existing hardwood floor in the rest of the house and their team did it perfectly - it is seamless and beautiful. 11/10 stars, can’t recommend them more highly!!
Matt Zebiak 09/9/25 — google

We bought a house in Scarborough and it had Brazilian Cherry Wood floors. I called Ralph at Footprints Floors Maine and Ralph explained very honestly that the red would never come out. Reddish hues are not my favorite, but Ralph and his crew did an awesome job in a timely manner. I think I am a convert! And it’s good to know he is available for any questions we have about caring for our new floors. Thanks Ralph!
Dawn Theberge 08/14/25 — google
Ralph at Footprint Flooring did not disappoint. From the original quote to the refinishing, everything went perfectly. He managed to resurface, stain and poly engineered wood floors and they came out beautifully!

From initial communication and first meeting to finishing touches, Footprints Floors Maine was professional and pleasant to work with. Ralph was clear and succinct in answering our questions and addressing concerns. Darrell is a fine young man and a hard worker. Binh and his crew were incredibly efficient, professional, and highly skilled. The floors are so gorgeous, my wife doesn’t want to put our area rugs back down! I readily and heartily recommend Footprints Flooring Maine!

Ralph and his team did an amazing job restoring some beautiful old pine floors in a house I recently purchased! They were able to remove multiple layers of paint and bring them back to life. Outside of being very skilled the crew was efficient, clean, and considerate. Not much more you can ask for when renovating any part of your home!!

I used Foot Print floors for two projects in the last two years. On both projects the service and workmanship was exceptional. We had extensive water damage. The crew installed new flooring to match our existing floor and it’s perfect. Any question or concern was quickly addressed and resolved. I highly recommend Foot Print Flooring
