Luxury Vinyl Plank in Pickerington, OH

Pickerington spans Fairfield and Franklin counties and sits just east of Columbus, which is the whole story of its growth. It was certified as a city only in 1991, and the population reached 23,094 at the 2020 census with an estimate of 25,814 by 2024 — an 11.8% rise. The city describes its own expansion as mirroring the growth of Columbus and its suburbs through annexation and development.

What that produces is a housing stock dominated by construction from the nineties onward, and a very consistent flooring pattern. Those houses were finished with carpet and thin sheet vinyl chosen to hit a builder's price point, and somewhere between year five and year eight the owners are done with it. That is the bulk of our work here and it is straightforward when the subfloor has been left alone since.

The two things to check on houses of that era are flatness and slab moisture. Open-plan layouts are standard, which means one continuous plank run crossing an entry, a kitchen and a living space with nothing to break it up — and a long uninterrupted run reads every deviation in the deck below it. A high spot at a panel joint shows as a ridge, a low spot goes hollow underfoot. That check happens before we order material, because leveling compound is trivial then and impossible later.

Olde Pickerington Village is the exception to all of it. The older properties around the original village center are a different job entirely — settled decks, layered previous floors, and stairs that need measuring individually rather than estimating.

Because Pickerington houses tend to be uniform in age, people here usually do a whole floor at once rather than a room at a time. That is where financing comes up most often, and Synchrony Home offers 6, 12 and 36-month terms at 0% for qualifying customers depending on the size of the purchase.

We are around thirty minutes out, and samples come to the house rather than you coming to us.
