What the job started with
One long room on glossy laminate, fireplace at one end
This San Jose home in ZIP 95133 has a single long living space: a tiled fireplace and hearth at one end, a sliding door to the patio at the other, with the dining table in between. All of it was covered in a glossy, orange-toned laminate.
The homeowner chose to replace it with luxury vinyl plank in a light oak look. That meant clearing the room, lifting every laminate board, and laying the new floor so it met the hearth tile and the tiled entry cleanly.
The work
What the job involved, in order
Order the planks
About 300 square feet of luxury vinyl plank was ordered with flooring adhesive, caulking and finish materials, so the material was on hand when the room was cleared.
Lift the laminate
Every laminate board was pulled up across the room and cleared away, leaving the floor ready for the new planks.
Lay the new floor
The luxury vinyl planks went down across the whole room, running long, from the fireplace hearth to the sliding door and along the tiled entry.
Trim and finish
Trim was fitted along the edges and the joints caulked, with the plank floor finished against the hearth tile and the entry.
Walk-through and sign-off
The homeowner inspected the finished floor and signed the job off as complete in August 2026.
How it ended
About 330 square feet of plank floor, wall to wall
The living room came out of the job with one continuous light oak-look plank floor in place of the laminate, finished at the walls with trim and caulk and meeting the tiled hearth and entry on both sides. The homeowner signed the job off as complete in August 2026.
