Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring in Placerville, CA
Rigid-core luxury vinyl plank fits Placerville houses: Gold Rush cottages with floors that were never flat, ranch homes with crawlspaces that get damp every winter, and cabins toward Camino that track in snow. Barron's measures at your house for free and installs with our own crew.
Placerville is about 45 minutes from our Sutter Creek showroom · about 32 miles · Highway 49 to Highway 50 · Free in-home measure · Directions to the showroom
From 100 Ridge Rd we take Highway 49 north through Amador City, Drytown and Plymouth, past El Dorado and Diamond Springs, and into Placerville where Highway 49 meets Highway 50. The drive is about 32 miles and 45 minutes.
Choose from COREtec, Karndean and Mannington lines in our Sutter Creek showroom or from samples we bring to the measure. Your written quote comes from that measure, and the gallery shows the same plank floors in finished homes.
What goes into your Placerville quote
Two houses in Placerville with the same square footage rarely get the same number, because the subfloor, the transitions, the stairs and the prep are different in each one. That is why we quote luxury vinyl plank from a free in-home measure, in writing, with every line you are paying for spelled out.
- ✓Material, underlayment or adhesive, and trim, by the square foot
- ✓Subfloor prep, leveling and moisture checks the measure turns up
- ✓Tear-out and haul-away of the old floor or counter
- ✓Stairs, transitions and any custom fitting, priced as their own lines
- ✓Installation by our own crews, with a schedule you can plan around

What an installed price includes
The material price is the plank alone, by the square foot. The installed price adds the underlayment where the product needs one, floor prep, cutting and fitting, transitions, quarter-round or baseboard work, and the labor for all of it. Barron's estimates are installed prices, so the number on your estimate is the one you plan around.
Two things move an installed price more than the plank itself. The first is prep: a floor that needs leveling compound, a section of subfloor replaced, or old tile ground flat costs more than a clean plywood deck. The second is stairs, which are priced per step because each tread is fitted and finished on its own.
Furniture moving, appliance disconnects and haul-away of the old floor are listed as their own lines on the estimate after the free in-home measure, so you can see exactly what makes up the total.
Why luxury vinyl plank fits Placerville houses
The older the Placerville house, the stronger the case for rigid-core plank. Solid hardwood needs a flat, dry, nailable subfloor, and the housing around Cedar Ravine and Coloma Street sits on stone and brick foundations that have settled for a century. A rigid-core plank floats over a leveled subfloor, tolerates the small seasonal movement of a crawlspace house, and holds up through the swing from a wet March to a hundred-degree August.
In the 1960s through 1990s neighborhoods off Broadway and Cold Springs Road the appeal is simpler: one continuous, waterproof, wood-look floor from the entry through the kitchen and family room, with matched stair treads if the house has a second floor. Plywood subfloors in these homes are usually sound, so the estimate is mostly plank and labor.
For cabins and second homes up Highway 50 toward Camino and Pollock Pines, the thicker wear layers earn their price. A 20 to 30 mil wear layer is built for snow boots, dogs and grit at the door, and the waterproof core handles snowmelt in the entry.

What homeowners say
What customers say about our luxury vinyl plank work
“When they came to take out the carpet at our entry way, they found the wood was wet, they quickly realized we should let it dry prior to putting in the LVP. When it dried, they were quick to squeeze us into their schedule. They completed the install, and it is beautiful!”
