Home ImprovementVinyl plank flooring has become one of the most popular flooring choices for homeowners in Wyoming — and for good reason. It’s stylish, durable, waterproof, and more affordable than hardwood. But one big question remains:
👉 How much does it cost to install vinyl plank flooring in Wyoming homes?
Whether you’re planning to update your kitchen, hallway, basement, or the entire house, Pete’s Home Renovation is here to break down real costs, local pricing, and tips to help you stay on budget.
🧱 What Is Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Vinyl plank flooring mimics the look of real wood — but with better water resistance, scratch resistance, and durability. It comes in two main types:
- Standard Vinyl Plank (SPC or WPC Core)
- Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) – Thicker, more textured, higher-end appearance
Homeowners in Cheyenne, Casper, Rock Springs, and nearby towns often choose vinyl for its low maintenance and long lifespan — perfect for Wyoming’s mix of dry air and seasonal changes.
How to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring (Quick Guide)
Clean & enjoy!
Clean the floor – Make sure it’s dry and flat.
Use spacers – Leave a ¼” gap near walls.
Start in a corner – Place the first plank with the tongue side facing the wall.
Click planks together – End-to-end for the first row.
Stagger rows – Start the next row with a cut piece.
Tap to lock – Use a rubber mallet if needed.
Trim around edges – Cut planks to fit corners and doors.
Remove spacers – Add trim or baseboards to finish.

🛠️ DIY vs. Professional Installation – What’s Best?
Thinking about installing it yourself?
DIY works well if:
- You have level subfloors
- You’re installing click-lock vinyl
- You’re experienced with floor layout and cutting
Hire the pros if:
- You’re working in bathrooms or kitchens (moisture-prone)
- You want it done faster and cleaner
- You need help choosing the right materials
