LVP, SPC, linoleum, engineered hardwood and laminate: explained honestly, supplied and installed under one Solid contract.
Tell us a little about it. We’ll follow up within one business day.
Guiding Antelope homeowners through remodels with clarity.
Six materials that look identical in photos, wildly different price points, and everyone online swearing theirs is best. Most homeowners aren't worried about the floor. They're worried about picking wrong, hidden subfloor surprises and a torn-up house. You deserve straight answers first.
Solid supplies and installs flooring under one contract, through licensed installers, which means the company advising you on material is the same company responsible for how it performs in your home.
You get honest guidance between vinyl plank, SPC, linoleum, engineered hardwood and laminate, a properly prepped subfloor, and a floor that's installed once and lived on for decades.
Pets, kids, kitchens, moisture: matched to how the room is actually used.
Leveling and prep decide how a floor performs. We never skip it.
Supplied and managed by Solid, and installed by licensed specialty subcontractors.
Nine materials, each with a job it does better than the others. Photos show how each one reads in a real room; the spec lines under them are the part that decides which is right for your Antelope home.
Waterproof
A resilient plank that mimics wood with a photographic layer under a clear wear coat.
Waterproof
Stone-plastic composite vinyl built around a rigid mineral core.
Water-resistant
A natural-material sheet or tile floor made from linseed oil and cork dust.
Moisture-tolerant
Real hardwood veneer bonded over a dimensionally stable plywood core.
Not for wet areas
Milled from a single piece of hardwood: the traditional floor, refinishable for decades.
Splash-resistant
A dense fiberboard core beneath a printed wear layer.
Water-resistant (rated)
Laminate engineered with sealed edges and a tighter locking system.
Waterproof
Fired clay tile set in thinset over a prepared, often decoupled substrate.
Sealed / water-resistant
Quarried marble, travertine, slate or limestone, every piece different.
| Material | Water | Best for | Underfoot | Care |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) | Waterproof | Kitchens, baths, laundry, busy households and pets. | Softer and quieter than wood; warm underfoot. | Sweep and damp-mop. No refinishing. |
| SPC (rigid-core vinyl) | Waterproof | Uneven subfloors, high-traffic rooms, temperature swings. | Very stable; firmer feel than standard LVP. | Sweep and damp-mop. Dent-resistant. |
| Linoleum | Water-resistant | Utility spaces and homeowners who want natural materials. | Resilient and quiet; naturally antistatic. | Occasional sealing; decades of service life. |
| Engineered hardwood | Moisture-tolerant | Living areas where real wood look and feel matter. | Genuine wood underfoot; can be refinished (limited). | Wood-floor care; avoid standing water. |
| Solid hardwood | Not for wet areas | Formal rooms, period homes, long-horizon investment. | Solid and warm; the reference wood floor. | Refinishable many times; keep humidity stable. |
| Engineered laminate | Splash-resistant | Bedrooms, hallways, whole-home budgets. | Hard, durable surface; sound depends on underlayment. | Sweep and dry/damp-mop only. |
| Water-resistant laminate | Water-resistant (rated) | Laminate look where spills happen: kitchens, entries. | Same feel as laminate with extra spill protection. | Wipe spills within the rated window. |
| Porcelain & ceramic tile | Waterproof | Bathrooms, laundry, entries, anywhere water lives. | Hard and cool; pairs with heated floor mats. | Sweep and mop; regrout occasionally. |
| Natural stone tile | Sealed / water-resistant | Feature bathrooms and entries where character matters. | Cool, solid, unmistakably natural. | Periodic sealing; avoid acidic cleaners. |
Floors rarely fail all at once. They warn you first. If you're seeing more than one of these, replacement usually costs less than repeated repair:
Specialty installers are licensed subcontractors, and Solid’s project manager answers for all of it: no handoffs halfway through, and one person who knows the job from the first measure to the last piece of base shoe.
We measure every room, check subfloor condition and confirm the material choice against real conditions.
Old flooring out, subfloor repaired and leveled, the step that decides how the new floor performs.
Materials rest in your home so planks settle to your temperature and humidity before install.
Rows locked, cut and finished around cabinetry, stairs and doorways by licensed installers.
Baseboards, transitions and a full walkthrough. We leave the floor ready to live on.
Square footage is the easy part. We measure every room in your Antelope home, check what's under the old floor, and price from a fixed scope, not a guess over the phone.

What we check at the visit
01
Most Antelope homes sit on slab; we meter it before recommending any wood product.
02
Dips and crowns decide whether we grind, patch or float before a plank goes down.
03
Old carpet, tack strip, tile, and where it all goes.
04
Every doorway, step and height change gets its own detail.
05
Wood and some laminates need days in the house before install; we plan for it.
06
Every room, every closet, waste factor included, so the quote is the number.
One visit, and the ranges below become your number.
Flooring is priced per square foot, and the material is only half of it: the subfloor underneath decides both the price and how the floor performs.

Figures are planning ranges for the region, not quotes. We price from a fixed scope after seeing the space. The estimate is free and there's no obligation.
Send us your estimate and we'll follow up with a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Your estimate is on its way to our team. We'll reach out shortly to schedule your consultation.
01
LVP, SPC, linoleum, laminate and engineered hardwood sit at genuinely different price points.
02
Leveling, moisture mitigation and plywood repair are the line item that moves quotes most.
03
Glued-down tile and old adhesive cost more to remove than floating floors.
04
Stair treads, nosings and thresholds are priced separately from field square footage.
05
Moving and protecting contents adds labor on occupied homes.
Design-build means one team owns your whole project: design, cabinetry, trades and finish work. That's a calmer process for you and a better-built flooring in the end. Here's what it looks like day to day.
One plan, one contract, one team accountable end to end.
A real number up front, no vague ballparks or surprise change orders.
CSLB #975441, Class B general contractor. Specialty trades are performed by licensed Class C subcontractors, held to one quality standard.
Smarter storage, better light and a layout planned around your routines.
Permits, plan review and inspections are on us, not you.
We stand behind the build long after the final walkthrough.
Six deliberate phases, one team carrying the work from a napkin sketch to the final walkthrough, each stage building on the last. Tap any phase to see exactly what we handle.
The starting point
Every project follows this path. Yours starts with a conversation.
1990sAntelope's build era
Builder carpet and oak strip from Antelope's construction era, worn through in the traffic lanes. We replace whole zones so it reads as one floor, not patches.
Waterproof LVP and SPC, honestly compared against laminate before you spend.
After a wall comes out, flooring is what makes it one room. Matched heights and transitions handled.
Swap tile-heavy rooms for materials that are kinder to stand on.
This is a great opportunity not only to feel the materials, but also to get an idea or some inspiration.
You have probably seen most of it on a screen. Every cabinet, countertop, tile, and fixture Solid Construction & Design works with is there to touch and compare.
The showroom covers 28,000 square feet inside the Filco Superstore on Fulton Avenue, which makes it the largest design and appliance showroom in Northern California.
Bring a floor plan, a photo off your phone, or just an idea. A designer will pull samples with you and keep the choices within what you planned to spend.

Straight answers on materials, subfloors, timelines and what a flooring quote in Antelope actually covers.
Luxury vinyl plank, SPC rigid-core vinyl, linoleum, engineered hardwood, engineered laminate and water-resistant laminate, supplied and installed under one Solid contract.
They look nearly identical in photos. LVP is vinyl: fully waterproof and softer underfoot. Laminate has a wood-fiber core: harder surface, but standard versions don't tolerate standing water. That difference decides which rooms each belongs in.
Sometimes. It depends on the material going in and the condition and height of what's there. We check this during the in-home measure rather than guessing.
Most flooring in Antelope lands between $7 and $17 per square foot installed, material and subfloor prep included. Engineered hardwood and pattern installs run higher. A single room typically runs $1,800–$3,600, main living areas $6,500–$14,000, and a whole home $14,000–$32,000. Use the calculator above for a range on your own square footage; we quote from a fixed scope after the in-home measure.
Projects that touch plumbing, electrical or structure require a permit. We handle it end to end: drawings, plan review, permits and inspections are part of our scope, so you're never chasing the city yourself.
Completely free, with no obligation. We'll visit your home, talk through your goals and budget, and follow up with clear next steps.
Flooring runs through the whole house, so it usually lands beside another project. Same schedule, one point of contact, and quoted together, so nothing gets priced twice.
Where new floors usually start
Layout, cabinetry, counters and lighting handled as one scope, including the beam and the permit when a wall comes out.
Wet areas get their own detail
Wet-area rebuilds done properly: waterproofing and ventilation to current code before any of the finishes go in.
When it is more than floors
One licence and one contract across every trade the job needs, and one person answerable for the schedule.
