Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in Kemp, TX
LVP took over family houses for a straightforward reason: it absorbs what kids, dogs and a Texas backyard hand it, and a tipped water bowl means nothing to it. The catch is that a rigid plank performs only as well as the slab underneath it, because no core sold today bridges a wavy floor. Choosing between a stone core and a foamed core is the other half of the decision, and it turns on the room. Installed by our own crew across Kemp.

Kemp sits at the bottom of Kaufman County where State Highway 175 crosses State Highway 274, on the north tip of Cedar Creek Lake. Its post office opened in 1851 and the town still runs to about eleven hundred people. Buyers come here for land, acreage and older rural houses off the FM roads, and for the gated water: Beacon Hill, Edgewater at Cedar Creek, and Cedar Creek Country Club, the lake's first golf course, open since 1967. Two very different flooring jobs, both run out of our Forney showroom.
Kemp is at the southern end of Kaufman County, at the intersection of Highway 175 and Highway 274, roughly forty-five miles from downtown Dallas. The post office opened in 1851. The town sits on the north tip of Cedar Creek Lake, 33,000 surface acres and more than 320 miles of shoreline, the fourth largest man-made lake in Texas, owned by the Tarrant Regional Water District and finished in 1965. Kemp City Park is where Mayfest and the Kemp Art Fest happen. Run south on 274 and you reach the Lone Star Marina ramp.
The housing splits two ways, and so does the flooring work. Out on the county roads it is acreage: older frame farmhouses, ranch houses and manufactured homes, plenty of them on pier and beam over a vented crawlspace. Those floors move for reasons that have nothing to do with the finish, joists that have taken thirty years of Texas humidity, decking that was never screwed down properly, a room addition framed half an inch off the original. We fix the deck before we open a box of flooring, because a floating plank floor telegraphs every soft spot underneath it.
The other Kemp is the water. Beacon Hill is a gated community of lakefront and lake-view homesites on the edge of town. Edgewater at Cedar Creek is gated too, 148 lots split between waterfront and water access off Edgewater Drive. Cedar Creek Country Club, built in 1967 for a retirement community and the first golf course on the lake, still anchors that side, with Emerald Estates, Cedar Knolls and Hawks Landing filling in around them. Lake houses are hard on floors. Wet feet come straight off the dock, sand grinds finishes down, and a lot of these places sit closed up midweek with the air conditioning turned back, so interior humidity swings far enough to gap or cup solid wood. That is why we push waterproof rigid core and tile in the entries, baths and lake-facing rooms, and why we acclimate anything wood on site instead of installing it off the truck.
We bring samples to you at the lake. Estimates are free, the crews are our own, and labor carries a one-year warranty.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in Kemp, questions
What actually holds up in a Cedar Creek Lake house?
Waterproof rigid core plank and tile, in that order. A Kemp lake house takes wet feet off the dock, sand off the boat and dogs through the back door, and many sit closed up midweek while the humidity swings. Solid wood gaps and cups under that. We put waterproof product where the water comes in and save wood or engineered for interior rooms that stay conditioned year round.
Our place out on the county road is pier and beam. Can you still lay plank?
Yes, but the subfloor comes first. Older Kemp farmhouses and manufactured homes over a vented crawlspace usually need joists checked, loose decking screwed down and dips leveled before anything goes over the top. Skip that and a floating floor telegraphs every soft spot within a year. We put that prep in the written estimate rather than springing it on you the morning of the install.
Do you come out to Kemp for an estimate?
We do, at no charge, and we bring the samples with us. Kemp is a straight run south from our showroom at 10 Mustang Court in Forney. Seeing a floor next to your own cabinets, in the light coming off the lake, beats guessing from a photo. Once you approve the estimate we can usually start within about two days, and financing is available through Synchrony and Wisetack.
If it is waterproof, can we put it anywhere water goes?
The plank is waterproof; the installation is water resistant. Spills, mopping, a dog that drinks messily and a bathroom floor are all fine indefinitely. A supply line that floods overnight is a different event, because water runs through the perimeter gap and sits on the slab under a floating floor, and it has to be brought up to dry. Vinyl survives that better than wood does.
Can we run it into the bathroom and laundry?
Yes, and it is the most common request we get. We keep the run continuous from the hallway so there is no threshold to trip over, hold the expansion gap behind the baseboard, seal the perimeter and the toilet flange with silicone, and cut clean around the washer feet. In a small room a glue-down plank is often better, since a floating field needs area to behave.
Will it fade next to our west-facing windows?
It can over a period of years, and it is the complaint we hear most about vinyl in this part of Texas. The print sits under a clear layer, and hard afternoon sun lightens it, most visibly where a rug shaded part of the floor and then gets moved. Solar screens, low-E glass or a shade during the worst hours slow it down.
