One Man & A Toolbox recently completed a professional flooring replacement project for a homeowner in Hoover, AL. The client, Leslie, hired the team to upgrade the main level flooring by replacing outdated wood floors with durable, modern LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank). The project began with the full demolition and removal of the existing wood flooring. Once cleared, the team carefully prepped the slab to ensure a smooth, level surface for the new installation—crucial for long-term performance.
Luxury Vinyl Plank was selected for its aesthetic appeal, resilience, and low maintenance. To finish the project, prefinished 1/4 round molding was installed along the baseboards, adding a clean and polished look throughout the space. This upgrade significantly improved both the style and durability of the home’s main living area.
Location: Hoover, AL
Project Type: Residential

LVP is a popular choice for homeowners because it offers the look of real wood with greater durability and water resistance. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and kitchens and is also more affordable and easier to maintain than hardwood.
Before installing new flooring, the existing material must be removed and the slab must be thoroughly cleaned, leveled, and repaired if needed. Proper slab prep ensures a smooth surface, which helps prevent future issues like buckling or uneven wear.
1/4 round molding is a type of trim installed at the base of walls where the flooring meets the baseboard. It covers expansion gaps and gives the floor a clean, finished appearance while helping to protect the wall edges.
