What affects the price
The final amount for your new floors depends on a few specific things. First, it comes down to the material you choose, whether that is hardwood, luxury vinyl, or carpet. The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
