FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our installation pricing is based on two main components: (a) The type of material we’re working with; and (b) The project's complexity. +Most common floor covering products, the average price for installation Hard Surface Labor Pricing: Floating floors (LVP, Wood laminate, or similar floor coverings) Removal cost $1.00 Sq Ft.

Please allocate 20 minutes of time with minimal distractions when scheduling a time for taking measurements for a price quote. 3) ***Subfloor Leveling and other necessary repairs are not included in the installation prices shown above.*** Every installation requires a subfloor that is clean, flat, and structurally sound, but the work required to reach that point cannot be assessed until the old floor is removed. Labor costs for average floor repairs range from $250 - $700, and floor leveling (often necessary for hard surfaces) can be $400 to $1,500+ depending on the size and complexity of the job.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1) A quick phone call to better understand your project, discussing factors like timing, requirements, and other details. 2) A site visit to your project to take measurements and understand the general layout (existing flooring, stairs/banister style, corners and doorways, furniture, accessibility, etc.). If you are still looking for the right product, we have samples available to share with you at this visit as well, and can advise on questions such as appropriateness for your space, durability, and other project specifications. 3) With the information gathered during our visit, we will prepare a quote for you. 4) Once we reach an agreement on terms and pricing, we will be able to put together a schedule for your installation. 5) Mr. Metz will discuss the details of your particular project with one of our installation team leads, and in some cases will walk through the site with them to go over areas that need special attention. 6) Once the project is completed we will provide you with some pointers on how to properly care for your floor (our information comes directly from the manufacturers). *Please note that scheduling may involve extra time for things like purchase and delivery, acclimation of materials, subfloor preparation, or other circumstances according to the needs of your project.* ** If you have already purchased material and the pick-up location is near our area, we may be able to provide free pick-up of the materials for you.**
