How Much Does LVP Flooring Cost in Calgary?
Short answer: LVP pricing is not one number. It is planks plus labour plus preparation plus extras. Get an itemized quote so you can compare like with like.
Why there is no single price
Two quotes for the same room can differ a lot because they may not include the same work. One may include removal and levelling while another does not. Prices change with the market, so use real quotes rather than a number from an article.
The parts of a quote
- Planks: priced per square foot, and you should add extra for cuts and spares.
- Labour: installation of the planks, usually per square foot.
- Preparation: levelling, patching and moisture work on the subfloor.
- Removal and disposal: carpet, underlay, laminate, tile or vinyl.
- Underlay or panels: if the product or the space needs them.
- Transitions, trim and baseboards: often priced separately.
- Stairs: usually priced per step.
- Furniture moving and access: especially in condos.
A simple way to estimate
Measure each room, add about 10 percent for waste, then multiply by the plank price. Add labour, preparation, removal, trim and stairs from the quotes you receive. The total divided by the area gives a cost per square foot that you can compare between quotes.
Questions to ask each installer
- Is subfloor preparation included, and how much is allowed?
- Is old flooring removal and disposal included?
- What does the workmanship warranty cover?
- How long will the job take, and when can it start?
