Floors That Stand Up to Daily Life

Professional vinyl flooring installation services available throughout the Eagle River, Wisconsin area.

When you live in Eagle River, Minocqua, Mercer or a surrounding area, your floors take on everything from wet boots tracked in from the lake to the constant movement of pets and kids through the kitchen. Vinyl flooring handles that wear without buckling, staining, or requiring constant upkeep the way older materials might.


Richard Wilson Carpets installs vinyl flooring in residential and commercial spaces across Eagle River, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where water exposure is common. The material resists moisture naturally, and installation creates smooth, uniform surfaces that stay level underfoot. You get multiple style options that match your existing cabinets, trim, or tile without the maintenance load of wood or grout.


If you need flooring that works in spaces where spills happen often, reach out to discuss what vinyl installation looks like in your Eagle River area property.

What Happens During a Typical Vinyl Install

Vinyl installation in Eagle River or a surrounding area starts with removing any existing flooring if needed, then checking the subfloor for level and stability. If the surface is uneven, it gets corrected before the vinyl goes down, since any dips or bumps will telegraph through the material over time.


Once the new vinyl is in place, you will notice the floor sits flush with doorways and transitions cleanly between rooms. The seams stay tight, and the surface feels firm when you walk across it. There is no hollow sound or flex in high-traffic zones.


Vinyl works in spaces where other flooring fails, particularly in basements with concrete slabs or bathrooms with fluctuating humidity. It does not require sealing or refinishing, and most spills wipe up without leaving a mark. The installation does not include subfloor structural repairs or plumbing work, but it does cover proper underlayment when the situation calls for it.

You probably have a few questions before moving forward

Homeowners and business owners in Eagle River often ask about durability, installation timing, and how vinyl compares to other materials before they commit to the work.

How long does vinyl flooring installation take?
Most residential vinyl installations finish in one to two days depending on room size and whether old flooring needs removal first. Commercial spaces with larger square footage may take longer.
What makes vinyl flooring water-resistant?
Vinyl is a synthetic material that does not absorb water the way wood or laminate does. It stays stable when exposed to moisture, which is why it works well in bathrooms and basements.
Why would I choose vinyl over tile or hardwood?
Vinyl installs faster, costs less, and requires no grout maintenance or refinishing. It also feels warmer underfoot than tile and does not expand or contract with humidity changes like hardwood.
What kind of upkeep does vinyl flooring need?
You sweep or vacuum as needed and mop with a damp cloth or standard floor cleaner. No waxing, sealing, or special treatments are required.
Can vinyl flooring go over existing floors?
In some cases, yes, if the existing surface is smooth, level, and structurally sound. Richard Wilson Carpets evaluates your subfloor during the estimate to determine whether removal is necessary.

If your current flooring is showing wear in high-traffic areas or you are updating a space that sees regular water exposure, vinyl installation might be the right fit. Contact Richard Wilson Carpets to schedule an estimate in Eagle River.
