What affects the price

The final price for your flooring project depends on a few moving parts. First, the material itself plays a huge role; natural hardwood or premium stone will cost more than laminate or vinyl. You also have to consider the condition of your subfloor. If the installers need to pull up old carpet, level out uneven surfaces, or fix water damage before laying the new product, that adds time and labor. The total square footage and the layout of the room, including corners and closets, also affect the scope. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
