Do you know someone in the flooring business? Have you even been in a social setting where you meet someone in the flooring business, say at dinner at a mutual friends house or restaurant and had questions about how much it might cost to add flooring to your home?
Don’t be surprised if you don’t get very far when asking for price ranges for flooring in a social setting! There are many many factors that determine the cost of flooring so even if this person could tell you $12 per square foot – that still doesn’t tell you at all how much your project will cost. In the end, it will only end up leaving you disappointed.
Here are some of the factors that prevent someone from being able to give you a price for flooring on the spot.
- Existing flooring removal
- Furniture removal and replacement
- Floor prep
- Underlayment depending on your foundation type
- Direction of installation (more complicated patterns cost more to install)
- Transitions to other rooms
- Options within a category such as type of finish coat on site sand and finish wood flooring
- Size of the room. Just because a room is 14×14, that doesn’t mean that it needs 196 square feet of flooring.
There are other factors, but this gives you an idea of how each flooring project is different and that there are many factors in determining the price of flooring.
