Flooring installation costs in 2024

Consider the Factors Affecting the Flooring Installation Cost

There is no universal price for all flooring jobs as they dramatically vary depending on the material type and quality, square feet of the space needed to be covered, and local labor costs. Besides, the additional services like removing the existing floors and installing underlayment will add to the final flooring estimate. See the critical cost-formation factors below to estimate the budget needed for your flooring project.

Flooring Area

The flooring installation prices always depend on the square footage of the area to be covered. You may change all the floorings in your house or select a specific location for an update. The bigger space is going to be covered with new flooring, the more material and effort are required. That is why it'll be definitely cheaper to install 200 sq. ft. of flooring in your hallway than replace all floor coverages around the house. The floor size is essential to consider as it boosts the installation cost tremendously.

Subfloor Type

No matter the type of flooring you've selected, its longevity will depend on the surface on which it is installed. The primary types of subflooring are wood and concrete. Each type determines a different flooring material and adhesive that can boost or drop the final project quote in the long run. Untreated concrete is considered a better underlayment for linoleum, tile, and vinyl flooring. Depending on its thickness, plywood can become a suitable subflooring for carpet and hardwood.

Material

Flooring material is another critical factor affecting the budget needed for the installation project. It is selected depending on the cost per sq. ft., quality, performance, longevity, and style. Some popular flooring options include hardwood, tiles, carpeting, ceramic, and vinyl. Natural and eco-sustainable flooring materials like stone and ceramic are usually priced 20% higher than carpet and vinyl coverages. The installation cost varies due to the laying, treatment, and finishing specifics.

Labor Costs

Labor is the fourth largest cost formation factor affecting the budget needed for a flooring project. The average flooring installation cost varies from $3,50 to $10 per square foot. An accurate price is estimated after evaluating the project details, like material, pattern, and coverage area. Add-ons like repairing the subfloor and removing the existing coverage also raise labor costs. Installing floating hardwood floors is always cheaper than laying natural stone tiles due to the labor intensiveness of the process.

Add-Ons

The additional work requires more time and effort, thus causing the flooring installation bill to be higher. Treating structural or water damage issues, removing rotten floors or damaged baseboards, and installing a new subflooring will cost you another $170 - $360. Mounting flooring on stairs is more complicated than on an even surface, which means you will be charged extra (around $14 per step covered with carpet and around $120 per step covered with hardwood).

Discovering hazardous materials under the floor during removal can become an unexpected cost-boosting factor. Mold, mildew, or asbestos are dangerous elements and should be removed by trained contractors before the flooring installation can continue. Remediating mold or mildew costs around $15 per square foot, while asbestos removal costs around $130 per hour.

Is new flooring worth the investment?

Is New Flooring Worth the Investment?

Updating the existing flooring is rather a necessity than a whim. General wear and tear, cracks, holes, and stains ruin the appeal of our floors, lowering the home's overall comfort and sale value. Upgrading the quality and style of the flooring will bring a breath of fresh air into your interior, giving it an improved and more polished look. Besides, updated floors, mainly from hardwood, can increase the home's sale value, allowing you to get higher offers from potential buyers.

Health benefits also make old flooring replacement worth the time and money invested. Mold spores, dirt, dander, and other pollutants collect under the floor, affecting the air quality inside the house. Soft flooring coverings like carpets should be replaced every 5-7 years to avoid allergies and lung diseases.
