How to keep the cost down
- Choose a basic line. Basic LVP was quoted to us at a median $2.12 per sq ft and premium LVP at $4.37; on 500 sq ft that is about $1,204 in material alone.
- Get at least three written quotes for the same job and compare installed totals, not material prices.
- If you buy the material yourself, local installers quoted us $2.25 to $4.25 per sq ft for labor only. Ask first whether they install material they did not sell and what their warranty covers then.
- Ask what removal, floor prep, baseboards and transitions add before you sign: carpet removal alone was quoted to us at $0.28 to $0.70 per sq ft.
- Check the CSLB license and read recent reviews for complaints about the work: a cheap floor that lifts or gaps costs more to redo than the savings.
