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.

How much does 1000 sq feet of flooring cost?

What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?
The '1-3 rule' is a common guideline in flooring installation, suggesting you should budget for approximately three times the amount of material as the square footage you're covering to account for cuts and waste.
