Cost by Flooring Material Type

Different flooring materials carry different levels of investment. Here is a general overview of how the most popular options compare.

Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood is typically the highest investment among residential flooring options. The cost is influenced by wood species (oak, hickory, walnut, maple), plank width, finish type, and grade. Engineered hardwood offers a similar look at a lower price point because it uses a real wood veneer over a multi-layer plywood core. Engineered hardwood also handles temperature and humidity fluctuations better than solid wood, making it a strong choice for Texas homes.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Luxury vinyl plank has become one of the most popular flooring choices due to its durability, water resistance, and realistic wood-look appearance. LVP falls in the mid-range for material cost and is generally less expensive to install than hardwood. Higher-end LVP products with thicker wear layers and rigid core construction cost more but offer superior performance and longevity.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate is the most budget-friendly option that replicates the look of hardwood or stone. Modern laminate products offer improved durability and more convincing visuals than previous generations. Installation is typically faster because laminate uses a click-lock floating system, which reduces labor cost.

Tile Flooring

Porcelain and ceramic tile offer exceptional durability and moisture resistance, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms. Tile installation is more labor-intensive than plank-style flooring due to mortar application, cutting, grouting, and sealing. Large-format tiles, intricate patterns, and natural stone options increase both material and labor costs.

Carpet

Carpet remains a popular choice for bedrooms and living areas where comfort and warmth are priorities. Cost varies based on fiber type (nylon, polyester, wool), pile density, and padding quality. Higher-density carpet with quality padding lasts longer and performs better underfoot.

Additional Factors That Affect Flooring Installation Cost

Square Footage

The total area being covered is the most straightforward factor in determining cost. Larger projects require more material, but they can also benefit from volume efficiency in labor. Our team provides precise measurements during the estimate process to ensure accurate material ordering and minimal waste.

Subfloor Preparation

The condition of your existing subfloor directly affects installation cost. A level, clean, structurally sound subfloor requires minimal preparation. However, if the subfloor is uneven, damaged by moisture, or made of a material that is incompatible with the new flooring, preparation work is required. This may include leveling compounds, moisture barrier installation, plywood overlay, or subfloor replacement in areas with water damage.

Removal of Existing Flooring

Removing old flooring adds to the project cost. Carpet and pad removal is relatively quick and inexpensive. Removing glued-down vinyl, ceramic tile, or multiple layers of old flooring takes more time and labor. If the existing flooring contains asbestos (common in homes built before the 1980s), specialized abatement is required.

Room Complexity

Rooms with straightforward rectangular layouts are faster and less expensive to install than spaces with multiple angles, closets, staircases, or transitions between rooms. Stairs are particularly labor-intensive because each tread and riser must be individually cut and fitted. Transitions between different flooring types in adjacent rooms also require specialty trim pieces and additional labor.

Furniture Moving

If furniture needs to be moved before installation, this adds time and labor to the project. Some homeowners choose to move furniture themselves to reduce costs. Our team can handle furniture moving as part of the project if preferred.
