I have a lot of grey oak LVP that I will sell/trade you for around $1 sqft.

Let me know if you want a piece to check out color/etc.

It is left over from a couple of jobs at houses I sold.

(I do not want to do any work though - I just got all the glue off my tools!)

I would love Grey but the wife not so much..will let you know after the first company comes out for a quote though

I'm a flooring/tile contractor, (out of commission for a few more months due to injury), definitely go to a vinyl plank. Quality product typically starts at about $2.50+ a foot, average install is about $2ft.

And make sure they do a good job cleaning up afterwards.

The only person I would recommend would be Andy @ Cottingham Tile in gulf breeze, i dont know if they travel that far but its worth a call. Genuine people and excellent quality.

Not a bad price.

 

[Duckyou]

I paid about that per square foot and it did not include the actual flooring - just the underlay, glue, trim, paint, etc.

 

[FrankT]

YIKES, well I hope it is a good floor and put in right!!

I just did a job that was 21k in wood. Only 1700ft..... It's insane. Over 12 dollars a foot.

Agree, doesn't sound terrible.
Just had mine done @ 1610 sf.
Over 500 linear feet of 5” baseboard with 1/4 round installed & caulked.
Same as you with furniture moving and toilets removed and reinstalled.
Just a tad under $10,000.

Breath in,
Breath out,
Write the check.

HAD to get rid of that carpet.
SO glad I done it,,and you will too.

 

[FrankT]

Thanks Plinker I feel better now, still left the bedrooms carpeted as I like the feel.

WOW, who knew floor guys charged so much?

It's mostly the product but the labor is hard work. It brings a premium.

I’ve got number 2 red oak wood floors everywhere except the bathrooms and kitchen, 4900 sf of floor. I’d hate to think what that would cost to replace.
