Vinyl Flooring Durability
Fast & Affordable Installation
Modern vinyl flooring has evolved over the past few years into a diverse array of styles and finishes that can fit into the style and aesthetic of most homes. It’s also a great affordable and long-lasting choice. With many homeowners choosing to remodel an older home or make improvements to their current estate, vinyl flooring can be an excellent choice to update the design of a room. Footprints Floors has trained staff to make vinyl plank flooring installation in Portland / Portsmouth a smooth process for homeowners.
Easy to Install and Maintain
Vinyl can be installed over many different types of pre-existing subflooring, making vinyl plank flooring installation a breeze. Plus, it helps you save money on removing and demolishing old floors. Once it is installed, it’s easy to maintain and keep clean. Basic sweeping and mopping will do the job just fine. No wax needed! Most vinyl has a no-wax finish, keeping your floors shiny without polish. Occasionally, like any flooring, your vinyl flooring may benefit from a professional cleaning and polish.

Durability and Affordability
Vinyl comprises multiple layers of compressed synthetic material that are finished to look like wood, tile, or other flooring types. Because it’s artificial, vinyl is 100% water resistant, and its backing layer prevents mold and mildew from accruing underneath your floors. Vinyl is often an excellent flooring solution for bathrooms, kitchens, and any other room in your home that may experience more moisture because it won’t mold or warp due to water damage. It is also less susceptible to fading from the sun, but like any other flooring, it will fade over time if there is a lot of sun exposure.
Additionally, vinyl floors come with a scratch-resistant finish called a wear layer. The wear layer is a transparent finish that varies in thickness depending on need and use. If your floors face little stress and strain from everyday life, you can opt for a thinner wear layer that protects you from basic scratches and stains. However, if you have small children, pets with long fingernails, or you simply tend to drop heavy items more often, consider vinyl with a thicker finish to increase the durability of your floors.
Depending on your chosen style and finish, vinyl flooring typically costs $2-$14 per square foot. Whether you opt for a basic design or decide on something more luxurious, selecting vinyl will be far more cost-effective than natural wood or stone flooring.
Trust Footprints Floors
With Your Vinyl Plank Installation in Portland / Portsmouth
When installed and maintained correctly, vinyl flooring can last 10-20 years without needing to be replaced. Many companies also offer lengthy warranties on their vinyl products to help you buy with confidence. Footprints Floors does not sell flooring in order to keep installation costs low for our customers, but we are happy to make recommendations so you can select the best vinyl flooring to fit your home and budget. Once you’ve found flooring you love, call us today for a free estimate on your vinyl plank flooring installation!

What Our Customers Say
-
Ralph and his team did a wonderful job replacing some LVP flooring at my mother’s condo. They were also able to match a damaged hardwood that was tough to match - and it looks great. Ralph is so easy to work with - professional and communicative. He did a great job explaining what was going to happen and did it in exactly the estimated time frame. I shopped around and the price was competitive or better than similar companies. I’ve got an upcoming project at my house and would not hesitate to work with Footprints again.

We could not be happier with the job that Ralph and his team did at refinishing our hardwood floors. After 15 years and 2 kids and a dog our hickory floors were in desperate need of some love. Jessica and Ralph were very responsive and were able to get the job done while we were vacationing, which was an added bonus! The floors look like new!!

Footprints Floors - exceptional service and experience from start to finish. We met Ralph when he pulled into our driveway to personally evaluate and estimate the job. We instantly felt comfortable with Ralph who was easygoing, polite, and professional. Ralph spent significant time with us that afternoon and then provided us with a detailed estimate the next day. When the crew arrived to do the work they too were polite, professional, and did a fantastic job. The crew left our home in perfect condition and when complete they walked us through what they’d done and how we could best protect our floors moving forward. Ralph was in contact with us throughout the entire process and made sure we were satisfied with the quality of the work.

For our demo and flooring install we wanted someone we could trust to do a quality job because they care and are attentive to detail, and that's exactly what we got with Ralph and his team. From the first interactions scheduling an estimate with Jessica, to working directly with Ralph and Darrell and Eisael on his team, the project went smoothly. Ralph and his team went above and beyond when the work we had planned for the stairs pivoted into a larger job. He always kept us up-to-date on progress and what to expect. We are very happy with the results!

We were very pleased with Footprints quality of work and care for our home. Our kitchen hardwood had deep dark scratches thanks to our pup who sees squirrels in the yard . We never thought they would be gone and they are! The rest of the floor looks beautiful and as promised , little dust from the job. We will certainly use again for other hardwood refinishing needs. Highly recommend Marilyn , Scarborough , ME

Ralph and his team did a great job on our challenging project. It all looks great. Communication was first rate on timing and all aspects of the work. The 1st floor involved demo of ancient flooring and installation of new red oak with great attention to detail to preserve existing architectural flooring around the hearth. The 3rd floor involved rehab of existing flooring. A++ The work work crews were super polite and hard working.
Rob Ruesch 06/5/24 — google -
Would recommend Footprints Floors Maine based on our experience. We worked with Ralph mainly over phone and email as we were moving from out of state, Ralph was very easy to communicate with and responsive. Footprint Floors Maine was timely on the estimate appointment, delivery, and projection completion. We had a few existing hard wood floors, which they match well. The final cost was very close to estimate proposal. Ralph kept us updated with photos and updates throughout the project, completion and stopped by after we moved in to follow up.

Rachel Stadler 05/29/24 — google -
I hired Footprints Floors to refurbish a bedroom floor in an older home built in the 1850's-1900's. The old pine floor ended up beautiful. It is hard to believe that it is the same floor and not a newly laid floor. Ralph and his workers did a great job and worked professionally at all times. I would definitely hire this Company again and would recommend them to anyone. Great job people!
Judith Vasalle 05/16/24 — google -

Excellent service from start to finish. Began with in person consult followed by in person follow up. Easy communication and I knew what to expect. Look at these stairs and the landing. The detail on how the wood was laid with a staggered design is gorgeous. Our dog approves too-she love a photo opp.

I am co-owner of a salon in downtown Portland and we needed our floors repaired. Ralph at Footprints Flooring was SO HELPFUL every step of the way. His response time was so quick and he always had very clear answers to our questions. He was knowledgeable and the floors look AMAZING. All of our clients comment on how nice our floors look. We cannot recommend this company highly enough!
Claire Noonan 03/13/24 — google -
Would definitely recommend Footprints Floors for anyone needing a tile or flooring project done. They were prompt with coming out to do the estimate and gave good advice on the best ways to approach our tiling project. Once we had the tile purchased and on site, they came within a few days. The team that came in was very pleasant and ready to work. From start to finish was less than 1.5 days. They definitely knew their craft and were also good at cleaning up afterwards. Well worth the price. We love our new bathroom.

We had hardwood floors installed. The installation crew, hard working and conscientious, did an excellent job. Ralph Clark knows how to deliver great customer service . If you are searching for a company to install hardwood floors, I unequivocally recommend Footprints Floors.
Claire Talbot 11/17/22 — google -
Ralph and crew were amazing! We needed our floors leveled and flattened before installing LVP. Ralph and crew did not hesitate to come by and do a full estimate of our floors. When other contractors failed to give us estimates due to the amount of leveling required, Ralph came in to get the job done. Finished in just a couple days (and less than the original estimate)! Would highly recommend for difficult to handle jobs.
Brenden Shields 08/1/22 — google -
Ralph and his team installed porcelain tile throughout the downstairs of my home on two separate jobs. They were clean, efficient, on time, friendly, professional and did our floors came out beautifully. The first job came out so well that we immediately hired them to do the rest of the downstairs. I would highly recommend them for your flooring needs!
Denise Calkins 11/17/21 — google -
Ralph is wonderful. My job was huge and difficult with a major demolition before he could begin installing beautiful 4+inch red oak. He oversaw and managed everything efficiently and kept me informed everyday of progress along with sending pictures. The floors are gorgeous. Beyond anything I imagined. He is wonderful to work with and was substantially less cost than my local flooring person. I recommend Ralph highly.

What to expect with installation:
When you have hired Footprints Floors to do your backsplash installation, you can count on a few things.

You buy it and we install it. We at Footprints Floors are a family-founded company. We take great pride in providing high quality work at an affordable rate.

Should you be interested, we can point you in the direction of suppliers that we know and trust. We install many types of backsplash from any supplier. You may have your pick from any vendor allowing your design possibilities to be limitless.
