LVP Flooring Crew for House Flippers and Rental Investors
The flip is painted, the cabinets are in, the listing photos are booked for next week, and the floors are still bare subfloor.
An LVP flooring crew for house flippers and rental investors needs to show up in the gap between paint and listing, lay the same spec in every house, and hand back a clean invoice. JMB Builders installs luxury vinyl plank for investors across the Twin Cities metro: old floor out, subfloor flattened, planks laid through the main areas, transitions, base and shoe finished. Priced per project, quoted from photos and a floor plan within one business day.

- Base, shoe and transitions included

Investors buy floors differently from homeowners. The plank is picked once and used in every house, the budget is set before closing on the property, and the only question is whether the floor can go in on the day the schedule says. A flooring installer who needs three weeks' notice or picks their own product does not work for a flip.
JMB Builders installs LVP for flippers, buy-and-hold landlords and small investors. You send the address, photos, a rough floor plan and the plank you use, and the quote comes back per house. The floor goes in after paint and before final trim touch-up, with base and shoe set and transitions at every doorway, so the house is ready for listing photos or a tenant.
The spec stays the same from house to house, so each new quote is quick and the finish looks the same in every property you list.
What you supply
- Address, lockbox code and your schedule for the other trades
- Photos of every room getting flooring and a rough floor plan with sizes
- Your LVP spec and supplier, or ask us to supply it
- Your base and shoe choice, or keep the existing base
- Which rooms get LVP and which get tile or carpet from someone else
What JMB supplies
- Removal and haul-away of carpet, pad, tack strip and old vinyl
- Subfloor flattened to the plank maker's tolerance, loose spots screwed down
- Moisture check and underlayment on concrete slabs
- Planks laid with staggered joints and the expansion gap the product calls for
- Door jambs and casing undercut, doors trimmed to clear the new floor
- Transitions at every doorway and flooring change
- Base and shoe installed or reset, nail holes filled, ready for paint touch-up
- Photos of every room and one invoice per property
How it is priced: per project
Quoted in writing from your photos within one business day. What moves the number:
- Square footage and number of rooms
- What comes up: carpet and pad vs. glued-down vinyl or tile
- Subfloor condition and how much flattening it needs
- Your LVP vs. plank supplied with the job
- New base and shoe vs. reset of the existing base
- How tight the schedule window is between other trades
Send the same plank spec every time and each house quotes faster — only the rooms and the subfloor change.
How long it takes
Main floor of a typical flip house: two to three days. A whole house with a basement slab: three to five days.

Walkthrough and invoice
We walk the finished work with you. If anything is not right, we fix it before we call the job done. Then one invoice, paid by check or direct deposit — no card fees, no payment links.
Situations and options
Fix and flip
Main-floor LVP through the living areas, kitchen, halls and baths, timed after paint and before the listing photos. Base and shoe are set and filled so the painter can do one touch-up pass.
Buy and hold rentals
A durable plank through the whole unit so the floor survives several tenants. The same spec goes into every unit so a damaged plank can be swapped from the spare box.
Basement slabs
LVP over a basement slab with a moisture check first and the underlayment the plank maker calls for. Common when an investor finishes a lower level to add a bedroom or family room.
LVP Flooring Crew for House Flippers and Rental Investors: questions, answered
Do you install LVP for house flippers?
Yes. JMB Builders installs luxury vinyl plank for flippers and rental investors across the Twin Cities metro. You send photos, a floor plan and your plank spec, and the quote comes back per house within one business day. The work is scheduled around your other trades and your listing date.
Can I supply my own LVP for an investor flooring job?
Yes. Most investors buy the same plank in bulk from one supplier and use it in every house. Have it delivered to the property a couple of days ahead so it can acclimate if the product calls for it. Plank can also be supplied with the job.
Does the LVP install include baseboard and quarter round?
Yes. The existing base is reset or new base and shoe are installed, nail holes are filled and the joints caulked, ready for a paint touch-up. Transitions at doorways and flooring changes are part of the install too. Painting is a separate line if you want it done.
What order should the floor go in on a flip?
Paint walls and ceilings first, then flooring, then base and shoe, then the final trim touch-up. That way the floor is not dripped on and the base sits right on the finished floor. Cabinets usually go in before the floor on a flip, with the plank run to the toe kick.
Do I get a separate invoice for each investment property?
Yes. Each property gets its own quote and its own invoice with photos of the finished rooms. That keeps the flooring cost tied to the right address for your books.
Can LVP go over the old vinyl or tile in a flip house?
Sometimes. Flat, well-bonded sheet vinyl can often stay if the plank maker allows it. Cracked tile, cushioned vinyl and anything that raises the floor too high at the doors usually comes up. The call is made from the photos and noted on the quote.
