How Flooring Pricing Works

• Materials: Brand, collection, wear layer (for LVP), species/finish (hardwood), fiber + pad (carpet), tile type and size.
• Labor: Removal, subfloor prep, trim/baseboards, stairs, transitions, layout (herringbone/chevron), and room count.
• Site Conditions: Moisture readings, crawlspace or slab, furniture moving, and scheduling constraints.

• Subfloor prep: Leveling or repairs can add noticeable cost.

Timelines: How Long Does Installation Take?
