Vinyl Flooring Formats — and Why the Install Differs
Vinyl plank (LVP) clicks together and floats. Sheet vinyl gets glued down in one piece. Vinyl tile comes in peel-and-stick, glue-down, or click-lock. All waterproof. All affordable. All thin enough to telegraph every subfloor flaw.
Which direction to install vinyl plank flooring? Parallel to the longest wall or toward the main light source — same as hardwood. But direction is the last decision, not the first. Before any vinyl goes down: subfloor flatness (3/16” over 10 feet for plank, even tighter for sheet), moisture testing on concrete (6-mil poly minimum), and old adhesive removal. Black mastic under pre-1986 sheet vinyl is common in Seattle-area homes and may contain asbestos — test before scraping.
Vinyl Flooring Installation Cost
Sheet vinyl: $4–8/sq ft installed. Click-lock vinyl plank: $6–13/sq ft. Glue-down LVT: $8–14/sq ft. Peel-and-stick vinyl tile: $3–6/sq ft. Labor for vinyl floor installation runs higher on plank than sheet or peel-and-stick because of staggered joints, expansion gaps, and transition detailing. Subfloor condition drives the rest. Flat plywood: material and labor only. Concrete needing leveling compound: add $3–5/sq ft. Old vinyl removal with adhesive scraping: add $1–3/sq ft. Toilet removal and reset in a bathroom: $150–250. As your vinyl flooring contractor, Rainwood Construction quotes after walking the space — every room is different underneath.
Our Vinyl Flooring Installation Services
What Rainwood Construction covers for vinyl flooring projects.
Install Vinyl Plank Flooring
Click-lock luxury vinyl plank — floating over underlayment. The most common vinyl flooring install we do. Subfloor checked with a 10-foot straightedge, self-leveling where needed, 1/4” expansion gap at every wall. Full room racked before locking for balanced layout and staggered joints. Works on plywood, concrete, and over existing hard-surface flooring.
Install Sheet Vinyl Flooring
Full-width rolls cut and glued in one piece — no seams in standard rooms. Sheet vinyl requires a perfectly smooth substrate. Plywood seams, screw heads, even dust under the adhesive show through within weeks. We skim-coat or install 1/4” underlayment plywood for a clean surface.
Vinyl Tile Installation
Peel-and-stick or glue-down vinyl tiles in 12×12 or 18×18 formats. Faster than plank for small rooms. Layout centered so cut tiles at the perimeter are equal width. Adhesive needs clean, dry substrate — any residue or dust and the tile lifts.
Vinyl Flooring on Concrete & Stairs
Vinyl floor installation on concrete: moisture test first, 6-mil poly barrier, leveling compound where needed. On stairs: vinyl plank glued and pinned with stairnose molding at each tread — stairs can't float. Every step gets adhesive and nosing.
Remove & Replace Vinyl Flooring
Old sheet vinyl, peel-and-stick, or failed LVP. Demo, adhesive removal, subfloor assessment, new install. Do you have to remove baseboards to install vinyl flooring? For plank: yes — we pull, install with expansion gap, reinstall. Old hard-surface flooring removal is our most common demo scope.

Why Choose Rainwood as Your Vinyl Flooring Contractor
Vinyl is the most forgiving finish material on the market. That makes it tempting to rush. As vinyl flooring contractors serving Greater Seattle, Rainwood Construction doesn’t skip subfloor work just because the material tolerates it — flat substrate means the floor looks right, the joints hold, and planks don’t peak or separate after the first winter.
- Subfloor flatness and moisture tested before any vinyl goes down
- Asbestos-containing adhesive checked on pre-1986 homes before demo
- Expansion gaps and transitions detailed for each room and material change
- One crew for demo, prep, and install — no trade handoff

Years Experience
Great people. Showed up early and stayed late to get the job done. Work was excellent. Price was the best i found after four quotes. Would definitely use this company again.
We hired Rainwood Construction LLC to replace our French doors, and the result was outstanding. We knew going in this was more involved than a standard swap — we switched from inward to outward swinging doors, requiring extra attention to framing, flashing, and weatherproofing to keep everything sealed against water intrusion.Anatoliy was our point of contact and led the project from before to after, making sure the swing change and weatherproofing were planned and executed correctly. Igor and Vitaly handled the on-site installation and did excellent, high-quality work. The whole team was on time, professional, and delivered top-notch results. Can’t recommend them highly enough. 5 stars!
Every member of this crew I've had the pleasure of coming in contact with has been professional, excellent in their skillset, and fast. Pricing was reasonable for the excellent job they did.Last year we hired Rainwood to do plumbing and painting for a job. Both crews did such a great job, were thorough, and the level of detail was fantastic!We liked them so much we recently hired them for a quick job (installing ceiling fans). We messaged on a Wednesday and the job was done by Friday.Will absolutely hire Rainwood again and again for every job we do for our home.
Working with Rainwood Constructions on our house remodel was an excellent experience from start to finish. Their contractors were highly professional, skilled, and attentive to detail, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The team communicated clearly throughout the project and ensured everything was completed on time without compromising quality. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a home remodel.
We had a very good experience with Rainwood Construction LLC and Toli during my brother’s home construction project in Shoreline. The team was professional, communicative, and paid close attention to detail throughout the process. We were especially happy with the quality of the fittings and finishing work, which turned out really well. The project was handled smoothly, and the overall workmanship met our expectations. Would definitely recommend them to others looking for reliable construction services.
We had an excellent experience with them on our sunroom project. The quality of the work was outstanding, they were easy to work with, and they clearly explained each step, the schedule, and key decisions (with various options to help us understand cost) along the way. Communication was solid from start to finish, and the final result looks great. Highly recommend, they are my new go to recommendation when friends ask.

FAQ
$6–13/sq ft installed. A 200 sq ft kitchen over flat plywood: $1,500–2,400. Open-plan main floor with concrete leveling: $5,000–9,000. Sheet vinyl is cheaper ($4–8/sq ft) but has seams on wide rooms and no click-lock for easy future repairs.
$10,000 to $30,000 covers most mid-range renovation bathroom projects. Final number depends on how much plumbing and electrical is involved, what materials you pick, and whether the layout stays put or gets reconfigured.
Vinyl plank is better for rooms that may need future repairs — damaged planks click out and swap individually. Sheet vinyl is better for wet areas where you want zero seams and maximum water resistance in a single piece. For bathrooms under 100 sq ft, sheet vinyl often wins. For open-plan main floors and kitchens where a floating floor is easier to maintain, vinyl plank installation is usually the right call. As your vinyl flooring contractor, we walk through both options and the subfloor conditions during the on-site assessment.
