We put luxury vinyl plank in the entire house 5 years ago and it still looks like new. (We do not have pets.) Now I have a unified look throughout the house.

After hearing advice from many, we had the base molding removed, the new floor installed, then new molding installed. We took this opportunity to replace the builder's 3 inch molding with new 5 inch molding. What a great look! The room looks much more proportional, especially the living areas with high ceilings.

Do not like the look of simply adding quarter rounds or shoe molding to the existing base molding. It's the fast and easy way, not the best way.
