How Much Does New Flooring Cost?
Replace flooring in a 200 sq ft room
DIY range
$400-$1,800

What drives the cost
- Material choice — laminate to hardwood spans a wide range
- Subfloor condition and any levelling needed
- Removal and disposal of old flooring
- Underlay or moisture barrier requirements
Material choice alone can swing a flooring job by three to five times in price per square foot, which makes it worth pricing several options before deciding on a budget.
| Material | Installed cost per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Laminate | $3-$8 |
| LVT | $4-$10 |
| Engineered wood | $6-$14 |
| Solid hardwood | $8-$18 |
