What affects the price

When you start looking at new floors, the final bill depends on a few specific things. The biggest factor is the type of material you pick—hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl all have different price points. You also have to think about the size of the area, how much prep work the subfloor needs, and whether you are removing old flooring first. Complex patterns or tight corners can add labor hours, which shifts the total. We can help you break down the numbers, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?

This ensures you have enough for a complete job and potential future repairs. Always confirm with your installer.
