How much does flooring installation cost?

Set the area, pick the material, add stairs and prep, and get an installed range with a per-square-foot figure. The default 600 square feet of vinyl plank with old-floor tear-out lands around $3,300–6,000. Materials run from $3.50 carpet to $18 tile per foot installed, stairs price per step because they are slow cut-heavy work, and subfloor repair gets its own line because that is the surprise most floor quotes meet under the old floor.

Common questions

Which flooring gives the most for the money?

Vinyl plank ($4.50–8 installed) is the current default answer: waterproof, durable, and forgiving of imperfect subfloors. Laminate is slightly cheaper but hates water. Engineered hardwood ($8–14) buys real wood at half of solid's price and handles our humidity swings better than solid does.

Why are stairs priced separately?

Each step is measured, cut, wrapped and finished individually — $75–150 per step is honest labour, not an upsell. Thirteen stairs can add $1,000–2,000 to a job, which is exactly why bids that skip them come back higher later.

What is the subfloor line for?

Nobody knows what is under the old floor until it is up. Squeaks, dips and water damage get fixed at $1–2 per square foot before anything nice goes down. Good installers flag it as a contingency up front rather than a mid-job surprise.
