RiverTown, FL
Luxury vinyl plank is the fastest-growing flooring category in Florida — and it's easy to understand why. 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, comfortable underfoot, and available in hundreds of realistic wood and stone looks, LVP is the practical choice for nearly every room in a Florida home. Gator Carpet & Tile installs LVP from top brands including Shaw, Armstrong, COREtec, and LifeProof with expert prep and floating installation that handles Florida's temperature swings.
Whether you need new luxury vinyl plank installed, an existing floor replaced, or a repair that saves you the cost of full replacement — we handle every stage of the job.
Gator Carpet & Tile's LVP installation process starts with a level subfloor — we fill low spots, grind high spots, and confirm flatness before the first plank goes down. We float our LVP over a quality underlayment (often built into the plank itself), stagger joints properly for a natural look, and cut cleanly around door jambs and transitions for a finish that looks factory-built.

We remove the old material, address any subfloor issues it was hiding, and install new LVP that looks and performs like the floor should have from day one.
Learn more →Individual LVP planks that are cracked, chipped, scratched, or buckling can often be replaced without touching the rest of the floor. Because LVP floats as a system, damaged planks near walls or transitions can be accessed and replaced by working back from the nearest perimeter — often without disturbing the majority of the floor.
Learn more →LVP was practically designed for Florida living. Unlike hardwood, it won't cup or buckle when humidity spikes. Unlike carpet, it won't trap odors or pet dander. Unlike laminate, it won't swell if water gets under it. For slab-on-grade construction — which describes virtually every Florida home — LVP's floating installation method is particularly ideal because it doesn't require adhesive and allows for natural expansion and contraction.
RiverTown is all new construction, with homes being delivered from 2018 to the present. Dream Finders, Mattamy, and Lennar are among the active builders. Open floor plans with large sliding doors to lanai spaces are common — this indoor-outdoor connection means flooring transitions need to be carefully planned and executed with appropriate thresholds and transitions.
Sitting directly on the St. Johns River means RiverTown has some of the highest ambient humidity readings in St. Johns County. River-facing homes experience regular fog and morning dew that works into every gap and transition. We use commercial-grade moisture barriers and fully waterproof LVP for all ground-floor installations in RiverTown.
RiverTown attracts buyers who want St. Johns County schools with a waterfront lifestyle at a lower price point than Ponte Vedra or Nocatee. The community is growing rapidly and word of mouth is strong — Gator Carpet & Tile has built a network of referrals throughout the RiverTown Facebook groups and HOA forums.
