Questions homeowners ask

How much should new flooring cost?

It depends on the material: LVP commonly runs $4–$9 per square foot installed, hardwood $10–$22, carpet $3–$8 with pad, and tile $10–$25. Your review shows the adjusted range for your state and compares it to what your bid actually includes.

Why is one flooring bid much cheaper than another?

Usually prep and material grade. A bid that skips subfloor leveling, moisture testing, and old-floor removal looks cheap until those appear as change orders. The side-by-side comparison shows exactly which scope each bid covers.
