Typical flooring prices across 8 metros, plus free quotes from licensed, insured local contractors. NEU matches you with a vetted local pro. We don't do the work ourselves.
Pick your city for typical local flooring pricing and a free quote.
Every flooring price on these pages is a typical local range, not a national average stretched to fit your city. We start from real project data, then localize it using each metro's own labor cost level, so a flooring guide for a higher wage market reads differently than one for a lower cost market, the way a real quote would. Pick your city below to see the current range and the factors that move a flooring price up or down there, then use the free quote button to get matched with a licensed, insured local contractor. NEU never performs the work itself: every flooring project on this site is completed by an independent local pro that NEU vets for licensing and insurance before making the match.
It depends on the city: pick your metro above for a typical local flooring price range. Figures are planning ranges built from national baselines and localized to each metro's own labor cost level, not a quote for your specific project. The exact number for your home depends on the scope of the job, the materials you pick, and site conditions a contractor can only see in person.
No. NEU is a free referral service that matches you with a vetted, licensed and insured local flooring contractor who provides the quote and completes the project. NEU checks a contractor's license and insurance status before making a match, then steps out of the way: you deal directly with the pro from the first estimate through the finished job.
No, using NEU is free for homeowners. NEU is paid by the contractors it refers work to, never by the homeowner, so there is no fee, membership, or obligation to hire anyone at any point in the process.
Most homeowners compare at least three flooring quotes before choosing a contractor. NEU's free match is a fast way to get one real, local quote; you are always free to gather additional quotes on your own before deciding who to hire.
New flooring typically costs $3 to $20 per square foot installed, so a 1,000 square foot project runs roughly $3,000 to $20,000 depending on material. Luxury vinyl plank and laminate sit at the low end, about $3 to $8 per square foot with labor included. Engineered and solid hardwood usually land between $6 and $15 per square foot, and porcelain tile commonly reaches $10 to $20 because of heavier prep and slower installation. Three things move the number most: tearing out old flooring adds about $1 to $2 per square foot, subfloor repair adds more if the installer finds rot or unevenness, and stairs or a herringbone or diagonal layout raise labor. Timing matters too. A 1,000 square foot vinyl plank job is often finished in 1 to 2 days, while hardwood needs 3 to 5 days of acclimation inside the home per the manufacturer's specification before installation begins. Get two or three written bids with square footage and prep itemized, and NEU Home Services can match you with a licensed and insured local contractor for a free estimate at your home and a quote that stays locked once written.
Vinyl flooring typically costs $3 to $10 per square foot installed, and luxury vinyl plank runs $3 to $7 per square foot installed on NEU Home Services' published flooring price tables, with materials $1 to $7 per square foot and labor $1 to $4. Sheet vinyl sits at the low end, luxury vinyl plank and tile in the middle, and rigid core or stone plastic composite planks with a 20 mil or thicker wear layer at the top. A 200 square foot living room therefore lands between $600 and $2,000, and most crews finish a room that size in one day. The number moves when the subfloor needs leveling, old flooring must be removed, or the layout has many angles and closets, since contractors order about 10 percent extra material for cuts and waste. Wear layer thickness is the main tier driver: 6 to 12 mil suits bedrooms, while 20 mil or more holds up in kitchens and entries.
