If you are trying to decide who to go with, think no further. The Floor 4U is the way to go! Thank you, Matt, for a job well done!Nancy Sobczak

- We were recommended The Floor4U by many people on Facebook. Now we can see why. They were fast, efficient and the floors look amazing. We had one issue that we didn’t noticed til later in the day. Our front door was catching on the door trim. We called them and they came out the next day to fix the issue. Now works perfectly. We would use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for lvp installations.

- Had a wonderful experience using this company for the 3rd time now! First we had Coretec flooring installed last year. Then we had carpeting installed in our family room! Now they just completed a backsplash for us! Great customer service and installers are top notch. Can not recommend this company any higher 10 stars🤟

- We used this business 5 years ago and had a problem with LVT separating. They diligently worked with us and the manufacturer and got us a new floor when it was determined ours was defective. We had no hesitation going to them again when we wanted to have more Coretec LVT and carpet installed and we’re VERY happy with both the material and installation!

- We had our basement flooring done with LVP by Floor4U and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The team was professional, efficient, and paid close attention to every detail. They finished the job on time, kept the space clean, and the final result completely transformed our basement. The quality of the flooring and the precision of the installation exceeded our expectations.

- Can’t say enough great things about the Floor 4u. We feel so lucky to have been recommended Matt & his crew to do the floors in our first home. Matt was extremely helpful in choosing the right flooring, coming up with a plan to accommodate our tight schedule, and getting things done 👏🏻They truly went above and beyond and our floors look amazing. Shoutout to Colby and drew as well! Thank you guys!For reference we went with Coretec Vinyl in Ravenswood.

- We bought COREtec luxury vinyl throughout our home, and after a few years, the product started going bad. Matt, the owner, was extremely responsive and worked with us and COREtec until COREtec agreed to do the right thing. I know it wasn’t an easy task, but Matt didn’t stop until we were squared away. We’ll definitely be making referrals here. We’re a big fan of family owned and operated businesses for this reason. Keep it up.

What Is LVP Flooring?
And Why Is It the Most Popular Upgrade in Will County Right Now?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a rigid-core vinyl floor that is 100% waterproof, looks like real hardwood, and is far easier to maintain. It can be floated over most existing subfloors, stands up to pets, kids, and spills, and carries wear warranties up to 20 years. For Mokena and Will County homes, LVP delivers the look of wood in the rooms where real hardwood cannot go, including kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
How Much Does LVP Installation Cost in Mokena, IL?
Most LVP installations in the Mokena and Will County area run $4 to $10 per square foot installed, materials and labor combined. The tier you choose is the biggest factor:
| LVP Tier | Material | Labor (installed) | Total Installed (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builder / Entry | $1.50 to $2.50/sq ft | $2.50 to $3.50/sq ft | $4 to $6/sq ft |
| Mid-Range (most popular) | $2.50 to $4.00/sq ft | $2.50 to $3.50/sq ft | $5 to $7.50/sq ft |
| Premium (COREtec, Shaw) | $4.00 to $6.00+/sq ft | $2.50 to $4.00/sq ft | $6.50 to $10/sq ft |
Add $1 to $2/sq ft for old flooring removal; add $0.50 to $1/sq ft for subfloor prep or leveling if needed. A free in-home measure gives you an exact quote. Ranges reflect Will County market pricing as of 2026.
What Affects the Total Price of LVP Installation?
- Room size: larger rooms often have a lower per-sq-ft rate
- Number of rooms and transitions
- Old flooring removal: included in most projects; tile or glued hardwood may be extra
- Subfloor condition and leveling requirements
- LVP product tier (wear layer, brand)
- Furniture moving

How LVP Installation Works, Start to Finish
Our process removes the guesswork. Most LVP projects in a standard-size home are completed in one to two days, a first-mover timeline no local competitor states.
- Free in-home estimate. Matt Pehr measures your space, reviews your subfloor, and recommends LVP options that fit your budget and lifestyle.
- Product selection. Choose your LVP from our Mokena showroom or from samples brought to your home. We carry COREtec, Shaw, and other premium brands.
- Scheduling. Most projects are scheduled within a few weeks. Ask about current availability when we measure your space.
- Subfloor prep. We check and level your subfloor before any planks go down. Proper prep is what separates a 20-year floor from one that shifts and gaps.
- Installation. Most LVP projects in a standard-size home are completed in one to two days. Click-lock floating installation is our standard method; glue-down is available where the manufacturer or subfloor conditions specify it.
- Cleanup and walkthrough. We clean up the job site and walk through the finished floor with you before we leave.
Click-Lock vs. Glue-Down LVP: Which Method Is Right for Your Home?
Floating (click-lock) is the standard method for most residential LVP. Glue-down is used below grade, in commercial spaces, or where the manufacturer specifies it for radiant heat.
| Click-Lock (Floating) | Glue-Down | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Above-grade and on-grade residential rooms | Below-grade (basements), commercial, radiant heat |
| Install speed | Faster, most rooms done in a day | Slower, adhesive cure time required |
| Repairs | Easier, planks replaced individually | More involved, adhesive must be removed |
| Subfloor | Flat within 3/16" per 10 ft | Flat within 3/16" per 10 ft |
| The Floor 4U recommendation | Standard choice for most Will County homes | Used where manufacturer specifies or conditions require |
LVP vs. Laminate: What Is the Difference?
LVP is 100% waterproof; laminate is only water-resistant. Both look like hardwood and cost less than solid wood, but laminate has a wood-fiber core that swells when wet, so LVP wins in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and homes with pets. Laminate can sometimes be refinished and LVP cannot, but LVP's waterproof core and 20-year wear warranty make it the more durable long-term choice for most Will County homes.

Frequently Asked Questions: LVP Installation Near Mokena, IL
Reviewed by Matt Pehr, owner of The Floor 4U.
LVP installation in the Mokena and Will County area typically runs $4 to $10 per square foot installed, covering both materials and labor. Entry-level LVP starts around $4 to $6 per sq ft, mid-range products run $5 to $7.50 per sq ft, and premium lines like COREtec run $6.50 to $10 per sq ft. Your final price depends on the product chosen, room size, and subfloor condition.
Yes, LVP can scratch, but the wear layer you choose makes the real difference. Entry-level 6 mil LVP shows dog-nail marks fastest, a 12 mil wear layer resists everyday scratches well, and 20 mil is the standard recommendation for households with dogs or heavy traffic. No LVP is scratch-proof, but choosing the right wear layer for your household is what actually prevents the marks people worry about. If a plank does get damaged, our floor repair guide covers when a quick plank swap makes sense.
Yes, in most projects The Floor 4U removes carpet, vinyl sheet, and other existing floor coverings as part of the installation. Removing ceramic tile or glued-down hardwood may be quoted separately since those materials take more labor and disposal effort. This is confirmed during your in-home estimate so the final invoice matches what was agreed, with no surprise line items added after work starts.
Most residential LVP installations take one to two days. A living room plus two bedrooms, roughly 400 to 600 square feet, typically finishes in one day, while whole-house projects of 1,000 square feet or more usually take two days. Timelines can extend if the subfloor needs leveling before installation begins. You will get a specific timeline once your space is measured.
Look for at least a 12 mil wear layer for most rooms, and 20 mil for high-traffic areas or homes with pets. Wear layer thickness is the single spec that determines how long LVP resists scratches, dents, and fading, more than the brand name on the box. A 6 mil wear layer is fine for a low-traffic guest room but not for a busy household.
LVP does not devalue a home. A professionally installed LVP floor can improve buyer appeal, but resale value varies by the home, product, installation quality, and local market. The belief that appraisers ignore LVP is a myth; waterproof, scratch-resistant, low-maintenance flooring is a real selling point, and most agents in Mokena and Will County now recommend it over carpet for pre-listing upgrades.
The Floor 4U installs COREtec as its preferred LVP line, along with Shaw and other major brands sourced on request. COREtec appears repeatedly in the store's verified Google reviews from buyers who chose it. During your free in-home estimate, you can see samples and get a recommendation based on your traffic, subfloor, and budget rather than just the lowest price per box.
