Do dogs scratch LVP flooring?

• <div><p>Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a thick, high-quality vinyl that joins with click-lock edges. Unlike some budget vinyl flooring, it’s tough, easy to install, and scratch-resistant. While this means it’s much less likely to get damaged by your dog’s claws, it isn’t scratch-proof. Regularly trimming long dog nails reduces the risk of scratch marks and helps keep your dog comfortable.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when repairing flooring?

• <div><p>As you look for quotes for flooring repair, consider how the severity of the problem and the accessibility of the damage will impact your costs and budget.</p><p>Refinishing a few hardwood planks with minor scratches will cost thousands of dollars less than completely replacing an entire water-damaged floor. Likewise, a first-floor structural problem in a house with an unfinished basement is easy to access from below, while a similar issue on a second-story floor will require your flooring pro to remove several layers to get to the damage.</p></div>

Q: Should I worry about uneven floors?

• <div><p>Uneven floors often signal structural issues in a home, so taking them seriously is vital. If you buy an older home with slightly uneven floors, check that your inspector thoroughly inspects the foundation to catch any potential issues early. And if you notice that your floors are becoming more uneven over time, call a pro to check your foundation ASAP.</p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring to cover tiles?

• <div><p>Many types of flooring can cover tiles, including vinyl, vinyl plank, engineered wood, carpet, and hardwood. The most common are various types of vinyl and engineered woods because of their versatility. However, as long as the tile floor is in good condition, you can install a flooring that fits your vision for the space. </p></div>

Q: What’s the max PSI that won’t damage vinyl?

• <div><p>Although it isn&rsquo;t recommended to use more than 1,500 pounds of force per square inch (or PSI) on delicate siding materials like wood and metal, it&rsquo;s safe to use more than that on surfaces made of stone, cement, and, yes, vinyl. In most cases, you can use up to 3,500 PSI without any problems, though you&rsquo;ll want to make sure to use a tip with a spray span that better disperses this pressure, like a green or yellow tip.</p></div>
