Growing with West Jordan
West Jordan is fast becoming one of the premier family cities in Utah. With rapid growth comes variety—from
1970s split-levels in the city center to brand new custom homes out west near the mountains. We have the
experience to handle every era of home.
At South Valley Flooring, we understand that West Jordan families are active. You need
floors that can handle the backyard BBQ traffic, the kids' muddy sports cleats, and the family dog running
to the door. You need floors that are "Life Proof."
The New Construction Hack: Upgrade Later
Many of our clients in West Jordan are buying new homes. Builders notoriously overcharge for upgrades. We
often advise clients: "Take the standard carpet." Why? Because for the $15,000 upgrade fee the builder
charges for mid-grade LVP, we can install top-tier commercial grade LVP and have money left
over.
We specialize in these "post-close" upgrades. We can often rip out the brand new carpet (donating it or
moving it to the basement) and install your dream floor before you even move your furniture in.
The Basement Specialists
Unfinished basements are a massive opportunity in West Jordan. We finish more basements here than anywhere
else. But basements require care:
- Moisture Control: West Jordan soil can be clay-heavy. We check moisture levels in your
slab. If high, we install a 6-mil vapor barrier before laying your floor to prevent mold.
- Warmth: Concrete is cold. We recommend LVP with a thick attached cork underlayment or
even WPC (Wood Polymer Composite) cores which hold heat better than standard tile.
Commercial Solutions
Business is booming near Jordan Landing. We provide rapid-turnaround commercial flooring—glue down LVP and
Carpet Tile—for offices, salons, and retail shops that can't afford to be closed for a week. We work nights
and weekends to get your business open.
Resale Value & Kitchen Trends
Best Floor for Resale: Currently, wide-plank Light Oak LVP is the most sought-after
look in West Jordan. It brightens up split-level homes and makes basements feel like main floors. Realtors
consistently tell us this specific look offers the highest ROI at resale.
Hardwood in Kitchens: You can install hardwood in kitchens, but we recommend Engineered
Hardwood for stability. However, 80% of our West Jordan kitchen installs are now high-end Waterproof LVP
because it removes the water risk entirely while mimicking the high-end look.
