Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Hardwood Specialists

Oxford's climate demands flooring that handles humidity, active households, and the occasional spill without complaint. TAV Construction installs LVP, engineered hardwood, and solid hardwood with the detail work that separates a lasting floor from one that creaks and gaps within a year.

Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation

  • Proper staggering and expansion gaps — LVP must float with room to move. We maintain manufacturer-specified expansion gaps at every wall, doorway, and transition to prevent buckling as temperature shifts through Lafayette County's seasons.
  • Subfloor flatness verification — click-lock LVP magnifies any dip or hump in the subfloor. We check for flatness within 3/16" over 10 feet before the first plank goes down, grinding high spots and self-leveling low ones.
  • Underlayment selection — we match the underlayment to the product: built-in foam for floating installs, cork for sound-sensitive second floors, and moisture-barrier sheets over concrete slabs.
  • Baseboard and shoe molding finish — we reinstall or replace base trim and add shoe molding to cover the expansion gap cleanly, leaving the room paint-ready without separate finish work on your end.

Hardwood and Engineered Wood Installation

  • Humidity acclimation management — engineered and solid hardwood must acclimate to your home's indoor climate before installation. We schedule delivery 48–72 hours ahead and confirm moisture content with a wood moisture meter before nailing or gluing anything down.
  • Nail-down and glue-down methods — we select the installation method based on subfloor type and product spec. Nail-down over plywood for solid hardwood; glue-down or floating over concrete for engineered wood.
  • Moisture barrier on slabs — any hardwood or engineered product going over a concrete slab in Oxford gets a tested moisture barrier first. Mississippi slab moisture levels routinely exceed manufacturer tolerances and voids warranties when skipped.
  • Stair nosing and transition strips — we fabricate or source matching stair nosing and transition strips so material changes between rooms and floor levels are clean and safe underfoot.

Why Subfloor Prep Is Non-Negotiable in Oxford Homes

Many Oxford homes — particularly those built before 1990 or near the Square — have subfloors with soft spots, minor water damage, or joist irregularities from decades of seasonal movement. Installing new flooring over a compromised subfloor produces squeaks, springy sections, and failed click-lock joints within the first year. TAV Construction assesses every subfloor before material goes down. Rotted plywood gets replaced. Uneven joists get shimmed or sistered. The extra time upfront is what separates flooring that lasts fifteen years from flooring that fails in three.

Durable Flooring for Oxford Rental Turnovers

Oxford's rental market — driven largely by Ole Miss students and young professionals — puts flooring through hard use. Property managers and landlords need installations that hold up to lease-cycle turnover, minimize maintenance calls, and look presentable to prospective tenants without requiring premium materials that disappear in a year.

What We Recommend for Oxford Rentals

  • 12 mil+ wear layer LVP — for student housing and high-turnover units, we spec a minimum 12 mil wear layer. Thinner products look great on day one and fail by year two. The wear layer is the first number to check when comparing products.
  • Waterproof vinyl for kitchens and baths — any bathroom or kitchen floor in a rental should be waterproof to the core, not just surface-resistant. Tenant habits vary; the floor needs to handle both.
  • Neutral mid-tone plank colors — colors that photograph well and work with a range of furniture styles minimize vacancy time. We advise against trendy dark or cool-tone planks that age poorly in marketing photos.
  • Matching materials reserved for future repairs — we track the product SKU and recommend keeping two to four boxes of matching planks so isolated damage can be repaired without a full floor replacement at the next turnover.

Rapid Turnover Scheduling

  • Coordinated with your lease cycle — we work with property managers to schedule flooring work within the gap between move-out and move-in dates, including coordinating with cleaning crews and other contractors.
  • Subfloor repair during turnover — the turnover window is the right time to fix soft spots, damaged plywood, and water-stained OSB before the next tenant moves in. We assess and repair as part of the installation scope, not as a separate call-back.
  • Dust-controlled cutting — we use track saws with vacuum shrouds for in-room cuts, keeping dust off walls, cabinetry, and appliances that have already been cleaned or repainted for the new tenant.
  • Abbeville, Taylor, and Water Valley coverage — TAV serves rental properties throughout Lafayette County, not just Oxford proper. If your rental portfolio extends into surrounding communities, one crew handles all of it.

Oxford property managers with multiple units benefit from establishing a single flooring contractor relationship rather than re-bidding each turnover. TAV Construction offers consistent pricing, documented installation records per unit, and familiarity with the quirks of your specific properties over time. Call 600-675-2519 or submit a turnover request and we'll schedule an assessment for your full portfolio.

Laminate, LVP, and Hardwood — All Under One Crew

TAV Construction does not sub out flooring work. The same crew that managed your neighbor's LVP installation is the crew showing up for yours — experienced, licensed, and accountable from first measurement to final trim piece.

Luxury Vinyl Plank

100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, and dimensionally stable in Mississippi humidity. Best choice for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and households with pets or children. Brands like COREtec, LifeProof, and Shaw Floorté installed correctly — not rushed.

Engineered Hardwood

Real wood veneer over a cross-ply core that tolerates Lafayette County's seasonal humidity better than solid wood. Ideal for living rooms and primary bedrooms where the authentic wood aesthetic matters. Glue-down, nail-down, or floating installations.

Laminate

Wood-fiber core with a photographic wear layer that mimics hardwood grain closely. More affordable than engineered wood with a warmer underfoot feel than LVP. Brands like Pergo and Mohawk offer fully waterproof laminate lines suited to Oxford kitchens and half-baths.

Service Coverage: Oxford and Lafayette County

TAV Construction serves Oxford, Taylor, Abbeville, College Hill, and communities throughout Lafayette County within a 60-mile radius. We offer mobile estimates — no showroom visit required.
