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.

About this service

There is no single 'best' option for everyone, so we walk you through the pros and cons of each material during our consultation. We help you balance your budget with the longevity you need for your home.

Frequently asked in Boston

What is the best flooring for the money in Boston?

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule suggests that for every dollar spent on the flooring material, you should budget one to three dollars for installation. This helps ensure you're accounting for the full cost, not just the material itself. It’s a good guideline for planning your budget in Boston homes.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is generally more water-resistant than laminate, making it a solid choice for kitchens or basements in a damp climate like Boston's. Laminate can be more scratch-resistant. Both offer great aesthetics for your home.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Currently, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood are very popular. People love LVP for its durability and water resistance, while engineered hardwood offers a classic look with better stability. Both are excellent choices for Boston homes.
