At None Of Your Flippin’ Business, flooring is one of the most important decisions we make during every renovation. We don’t simply choose what is inexpensive—we choose products that will look beautiful years from now, withstand Minnesota’s harsh climate, and appeal to the widest range of future homeowners.

After renovating homes throughout the Twin Cities, we’ve found that premium Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) consistently delivers the best combination of appearance, durability, water resistance, maintenance, and value. While every home is different, our renovation philosophy is simple: install materials we would proudly put in our own homes.

This guide explains the pros and cons of every major flooring option, how Minnesota’s weather affects flooring choices, what adds resale value, and the products we trust in our own renovations.

Our Renovation Philosophy

Across our renovations you’ll regularly see:
• Premium Luxury Vinyl Plank
• White shaker cabinets
• Quartz countertops
• Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Shoji White cabinetry
• Accessible Beige and other warm neutral wall colors
• Matte black or brushed nickel hardware

These timeless combinations create bright, durable homes that appeal to today’s buyers without chasing short-lived design trends.

Why We Prefer Premium LVP

Premium Luxury Vinyl Plank is our preferred flooring in many projects because it is waterproof, scratch resistant, easy to maintain, comfortable underfoot, and performs exceptionally well through Minnesota’s changing seasons. We commonly choose high-quality products comparable to Shaw, CoreTec, or Lifeproof collections depending on the project and design goals.

Final Thoughts

Our goal isn’t simply to install new floors—it’s to create homes that feel welcoming, photograph beautifully, and stand the test of time. Every flooring decision is made with durability, resale value, and everyday living in mind.
