Looking for someone to replace several vinyl planks on a floor installed 2 years ago, would be a small job, for an installer, but more than I could handle due to severe arthritis.
Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations.

So why not whoever did the installation? You don't say you don't know.

First question, do you have replacement flooring? I just installed vinyl plank in our house, and the instructions had 1 or 2 paragraphs and illustrations on how to do this. I have the tools for the type we used, but I have seen some that is rigid (you need a saw to cut), and I do not have the appropriate tools to do this on rigid luxury vinyl plank flooring. As noted above my first call would be to the original installer.

Unfortunately the store was in Leesburg, and closed.

I used Keith Stall, he did the entire house plus some tile in wet areas, did a great job. Works for one of the highly recommended floor companies but does a few jobs on the side, he did a great job with no issues that needed to be reworked, Reasonable rate.

What details on type/brand did you install - I am considering it myself but hesitant.

We bought Mohawk Luxury Vinyl Plank from Lowe's about $2.50 per square foot. This is a flexible flooring 100% vinyl, you can actually bend in a U shape. It cuts with a box cutter, or you can buy a specialized cutter at Lowe's, I used the box cutter. NO DUST, no mess. This is a snap and lock system like most floating floors. NOTE: the instructions are very specific about the use of underlayment, Lowe's gave me the wrong advice and suggested underlayment the instructions state NO underlayment! Also, this product is relatively quiet. I did 2 bedrooms, t closets, and a short hallway, about 600 square feet removing all the old carpet and placing this flooring directly on the concrete. The bedrooms are almost as quite with this flooring as they were with the carpet! I was able to do this my self in 4 to 6 foot widths and just moving the furniture out of the way.
Let me know if you would like to discuss over the phone or see the product.

Thanks a lot! I've see that Mohawk product, and will go look again. Thanks for the offer to take a look. Let me get my ducks in a row and reach out in a couple of weeks.!
