Lexington LVP vs. big box stores
A box of waterproof SPC flooring looks about the same no matter where you buy it -- same rigid core, same click-lock edges. What's different is everything around it: who actually installs it, how the price is put together, and who you can call if something needs fixing after the fact. Here's how we compare.
| Lexington LVP | Big Box Stores | |
|---|---|---|
| Installers | Coordinated by us, quote to walkthrough | Subcontracted, varies job to job |
| Pricing | Distributor-direct, per sq ft, transparent | Markup + separate install quote |
| Estimate | Free in-home estimate | Often generic or in-store only |
| Delivery | Free, carried inside your home | Often left in driveway/garage |
| Product knowledge | Local flooring specialists | Retail staff, not flooring specialists |
| Contractor/bulk pricing | Available | Rarely available |
| Accountability | One point of contact, estimate to final walkthrough | Installer may not match salesperson's promises |
Big box stores aren't a bad option -- they're just built for a different kind of purchase. When installation is quoted separately from the flooring itself by a store that isn't coordinating the job, there's more room for the estimate, the delivery, and the actual install to not quite match up. We coordinate the whole job ourselves, one price per square foot, start to finish.
