Few upgrades deliver the blend of style, resilience, and value that vinyl plank flooring offers. In the Louisville market, where humidity swings, busy family schedules, and historic housing stock collide, vinyl plank stands out as the smart choice for modern living. CountBricks combines AI-powered estimating and local trade expertise to make every plank count—literally.
• Moisture resistance that controls expansion and contraction during Kentucky’s humid summers
• Scratch-defying wear layers perfect for pets, kids, and high-traffic Derby parties
• Design versatility that mimics reclaimed oak, contemporary maple, or classic hickory—ideal for both Highlands craftsman homes and East End new builds
• Budget-friendly price point compared with traditional hardwood, while still boosting resale value
CountBricks real-time material feeds show most residential projects falling between $4.25 and $7.75 per square foot installed. Factors that move the needle include:
1. Plank thickness and wear layer rating
2. Subfloor prep—concrete moisture barriers or plywood leveling compounds add labor
3. Pattern layouts—herringbone or diagonal cuts increase waste percentage
4. Project size—smaller bungalow rooms see higher per-foot labor than open-plan additions

• Acclimate planks for 48 hours in the room where they will be installed to match Louisville humidity swings.
• Snap chalk lines every 24 inches to keep runs straight across the length of shotgun homes.
• Stagger end joints at least 6 inches to avoid weak fault lines when kids and pets sprint down the hall.
• Use 100% silicone around exterior door thresholds to block springtime rain seepage.
Click-lock floating floors dominate Louisville remodels thanks to speed: a two-person CountBricks crew averages 350 square feet per day. Glue-down performs better in sun-drenched rooms—think Cherokee Triangle sunrooms—where direct heat can lift floating sections. Our AI estimator automatically flags rooms with large south-facing windows so you receive the correct adhesive line items.
