Few homes here are older than the 1980s.

Rigid-core LVP keeps its shape in that heat when the expansion gap is right.

Direct sun heats a floor past the air temperature. A shade helps any floor.
Installing floors in Antelope homes
Antelope is young: two thirds of its 15,459 homes were built in the late 1980s and 1990s, after the old railroad settlement was largely destroyed in the 1973 Roseville Yard explosion.
Most jobs here are 30-year-old tract houses: carpet in the bedrooms, tile or vinyl in the kitchen. Carpet comes out at $0.50 per sq ft, tile at $3.50, and a slab gets a moisture test first.
In 40% of Antelope households there are kids. Rigid-core LVP with a 20 mil wear layer is waterproof, quiet with the attached pad and tough on scratches.
Antelope is unincorporated, so Sacramento County permit rules apply: replacing a floor covering needs no permit. Summers pass 100°F on about 24 days a year.
Antelope flooring questions
Do I need a permit to replace flooring in Antelope?
No. Antelope is unincorporated, so Sacramento County issues permits, and the county follows the California code that exempts painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work. Replacing a floor covering falls under it.
How much does it cost to install 1,000 sq ft of flooring in Antelope?
With our rates and carpet coming out: about $7,090 for LVP, $7,320 for laminate and $13,160 for engineered hardwood, including material, installation, baseboard, transitions, haul-away and delivery. 2,000 sq ft of LVP replacing builder tile runs about $19,880. The final number comes from the measure.
Do you remove the old floor?
Yes. Carpet and pad, sheet vinyl, LVP and laminate come out at $0.50 per sq ft; tile is $3.50 per sq ft. Haul-away is $150 per truckload of about 600 sq ft.
How much do I pay up front?
Nothing on the website. For installation, California caps the down payment at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less, and the rest is paid as work is done.
Is LVP a good idea with Antelope summers?
Yes, if it is rigid-core and installed with the expansion gap the maker specifies. Floors next to big west- or south-facing glass get the most heat; shades help any floor last.
