LVP Flooring in Applewood, Lakewood

Applewood is Lakewood's most sought-after midcentury enclave, developed primarily in the 1950s through early 1970s on the gently sloping terrain between Ward Road and Youngfield. Brick ranch homes and bi-level split-levels line curving, tree-canopied streets — many with views toward Maple Grove Reservoir — and the neighborhood has become a magnet for buyers undertaking full midcentury modern renovations.

Why Applewood Homeowners Choose Waterproof LVP

Applewood's 1950s–1970s brick ranches were typically built on slab foundations, and that original concrete is often uneven or slightly cracked after 50-plus years of Colorado freeze-thaw cycles. LVP with an attached underlayment tolerates minor subfloor irregularity that would telegraph through thinner flooring options. Original flooring in these homes is usually worn vinyl composite tile, '70s shag carpet, or terrazzo under a kitchen remodel — LVP installs cleanly over all of these with minimal prep. The renovation wave in Applewood has made durability a priority: buyers putting $80K–$150K into a midcentury remodel want flooring that performs for the next 20 years without refinishing, especially with dogs and high-traffic open floor plans.

Popular LVP Styles in Lakewood

Applewood renovations tend to go one of two aesthetic directions: strict midcentury modern restoration with warm walnut tones and low-profile planks, or a lighter Scandinavian-meets-ranch look with whitewashed oak. Both work beautifully in LVP. Wide-format planks (7 inches and up) suit the generous open-plan layouts common in these split-levels. Matte or satin finishes are essential — period-correct MCM interiors clash with anything glossy. Concrete-look LVP tile is a popular choice in renovated Applewood kitchens where homeowners want the terrazzo or polished concrete look without the cost.
