Flooring cost guide
Most flooring projects run between $3,000 and $20,000 installed — luxury vinyl plank and carpet at the value end, hardwood and tile toward the top.
Use these figures to plan a budget, not as a contractor quote. Project details and local conditions can change the final price, which is confirmed during an on-site assessment.
What affects flooring cost?
Material
Luxury vinyl plank and carpet install economically; solid hardwood and tile cost more in material and labor.
Area covered
Flooring is priced per square foot — the rooms you include set the baseline.
Removal and subfloor
Tearing out old flooring and leveling or repairing the subfloor adds labor before the new floor goes down.
Layout complexity
Stairs, patterns, transitions, and lots of cuts around cabinetry slow installation and add cost.
