Why it matters here

A floor that works in Atlanta can rot in Fairhope.

Salt air, sandy lots and 90% humidity are hard on a house. Lay luxury vinyl straight over a wood subfloor near the water and you trap moisture underneath it — we've pulled up plenty of two-year-old floors to prove it. Before we sell you anything, we look at your subfloor, your slab and how your home breathes.

Why luxury vinyl and wood subfloors don't mix near the water
