The short answer: Installed, LVP at our stores usually runs about $5.25 to $6.75 a square foot before extras. That's the flooring plus $2.25 a square foot for labor. Those are the base prices. Where the price varies from job to job is in the extras. Some people need their carpet removed, and some don't. Some people have baseboards that have to come up, and some don't.

LVP is much trickier to give numbers for, other than rough numbers, because there are always things that factor into how much it's going to run. Those are always done on a case-by-case basis, and that's why it's always hard when someone calls on the phone and wants a quote. We never do quotes over the phone, because we have to look at the job. We do offer free measuring and free estimates. That's absolutely part of the service.
What adds to the cost of LVP?
- Baseboards. For LVP, the baseboards need to be off. Pulling and resetting baseboard is $2 a linear foot. That doesn't include recaulking.
- Toilets. Pulling a toilet is $35 per toilet. We don't reset the toilets when we're done. That has to be done by a licensed plumber or handyman.
- Appliances. Moving appliances is $25 each.
- Removing carpet. $2 a square yard to take it out, remove it, and haul it away.
- Removing sheet vinyl and subfloor. $10 a square yard to remove the sheet vinyl and the wood underneath it, the subfloor, which is usually 3/8 inch thick.
- Floor prep. Always case by case. We have to look at the floor.
- Moldings. Do we need to have moldings for the LVP? For our Lux Premier line, reducers and T moldings are typically $29.99 apiece, and flush mount stair nosings are $44.99 apiece. Each piece is 7 ft 10 in long. Moldings from other manufacturers and distributors tend to be significantly more expensive than that.
