How this estimate works
The calculator multiplies your project size by 2026 national installed price ranges for the selected option, then applies a regional cost index. It intentionally returns a range, not a single number — real quotes vary with access, prep, code requirements, and current local demand. On mid-size projects the spread between the highest and lowest licensed quote routinely runs 20–40%, which is why comparing at least two quotes matters more than any calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Does the estimate include removing old flooring?
No — tear-out and disposal usually add $1–$3 per sq ft. Ask for it as a separate line item in every quote.
Which flooring is best for resale?
LVP and hardwood lead in buyer preference surveys. LVP wins on cost and water resistance; hardwood wins on long-term value in mid-to-upper price brackets.
