Flooring Installation FAQ
How much does flooring installation cost?
Installed flooring typically runs $6–$15 per square foot depending on material, so a single room to a whole home spans a wide range. Our estimator ranges it by area.
What's the most durable flooring for the price?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the popular value pick, waterproof, scratch-resistant, and DIY-friendly, though a pro install lasts longer. Tile is most durable; hardwood adds the most resale appeal but costs more.
Can new flooring go over the old floor?
Sometimes, floating floors like LVP and laminate can go over sound, flat existing floors, saving demo cost. Tile and nail-down hardwood usually need the old floor removed and the subfloor prepped.
