What the price covers

In the scope

  • Standard spec: 20 mil wear layer rigid-core LVP, glue-down or click depending on deck condition
  • Turnover-grade upgrade: 28 mil wear layer for high-churn communities
  • Underlayment: Attached pad; separate pad only where the deck is dead flat
  • Transitions: T-mould at the marriage line, schluter or reducer at door thresholds

Not in the scope

  • Anything not written in the scope. Extra work found on site is raised as a written change order before it is done.

Specify once for the portfolio, not once per home

The single highest-leverage decision in community flooring is picking one product and holding it.

Operators who choose flooring home by home end up with six products across forty units. When a tenant damages a plank, there is no attic stock in that colour, the run is discontinued, and a one-plank repair becomes a room. Multiply that across a portfolio and the cost of variety is several times the cost of the material.

One spec means one pallet, one repair kit per community, and a maintenance tech who can fix a gouge in an hour without a purchase order.

What the wear layer actually buys

The wear layer is the only number on a spec sheet that predicts how the floor looks at the end of a tenancy. Everything else — the core, the thickness, the finish name — matters less.

12 milHomeowner-grade. Visible traffic paths after one tenancy. Not a rental product.
20 milThe working minimum for a rental unit. Survives a normal tenancy and a normal turn.
28 milWorth the difference in a high-churn community or a home with pets on every lease.
Rigid coreStandard on our spec. Bridges minor deck irregularity better than flexible plank.

The two details that fail

The marriage line. The two halves of a double-wide move independently — with temperature, with settlement, with the season. Flooring run continuously across that seam will buckle or gap there, reliably, usually within the first year. A T-mould at the marriage line is not a cosmetic choice; it is an expansion joint.

Installing over a deck that is not sound. LVP is thin and it follows what is underneath it. It does not bridge a soft spot, it telegraphs one. A floor that flexes under a foot before the install flexes exactly the same way after it, and now the flooring is scrap as well as the deck. If the deck is soft, replace the subfloor first — and check the belly before you close it up.

How we price it

Itemized line items, per square foot, with a per-unit mobilization. That means you can see exactly what changes when you move from 20 mil to 28 mil across a community, rather than being handed one blended number that hides the trade.

Common questions

Twenty mil is the working minimum for a rental in a manufactured housing community, and 28 mil is worth the difference in a community with high churn. Twelve mil is a homeowner product; it will look worn after one tenancy and you will be replacing it on the next turn.

Glue-down over a deck that is not perfectly flat, click-lock over a new or dead-flat deck. Click-lock floating over an uneven manufactured home deck develops separated seams at the joints, and the failure shows up first along the marriage line.

A T-mould at the seam, always. The two halves of a double-wide move independently with temperature and settlement, and any flooring run continuously across that line will eventually buckle or gap there.

Yes, and it is worth more than the material saving. One spec means one attic stock, one repair kit, and a damaged plank replaced in an hour instead of a partial re-floor because the discontinued colour cannot be matched.
