Vinyl Plank Flooring Cost in Rexburg, ID

Luxury vinyl plank is the most asked-about floor in our showroom, and the first question is almost always the price. This page answers it properly: not with a number pulled out of the air, but with the four things your number is actually made of, so that when you get a quote from us or from anybody else you can tell whether it is a fair one. If you would rather skip to your figure, we will measure your room for free and put a written quote in your hands.

What Does Vinyl Plank Flooring Cost in Rexburg?

There is no single square-foot price, and any store that gives you one over the phone without seeing the room is guessing. An installed vinyl plank price is four things added together:

What Is Included in an Installed Price?

When we quote a vinyl plank floor, these are the lines behind the total:

• The plank itself, priced by the square foot, plus the waste factor for cuts (Usually 10%). Waste is normal and it is higher in rooms with lots of angles.
• Underlayment, if the product does not have a pad already attached to it or if glueing down vinyl over a wood/particle board subfloor.
• Tear-out and haul-away of the old floor, including tack strip and pad if it was carpet.
• Subfloor prep, which is leveling, patching, or sanding down high spots.
• Labor to install, which is where room shape and type of stairs matter more than square footage.
• Transitions and trim, the pieces at doorways and along the walls that make the floor look finished.

Labor Cost to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring

Labor is usually the part people underestimate, because it does not scale with square footage the way material does. A big open living room is fast. A galley kitchen with an island, a pantry, and four doorways is slow, even though it is a fraction of the size.

What pushes labor up:

• Stairs. Depending on if you do full stair treads or carpet instead.
• Cuts and angles. Islands, hearths, bay windows, and closets all mean hand-fitting.
• Subfloor that is not flat. A floating floor over an uneven subfloor will separate at the seams, so leveling is not optional.
• Removing what is there. Glued-down sheet vinyl and mortared tile take longer to remove than carpet.
• Working around occupancy. Doing one room at a time in a lived-in house takes longer than an empty house.

Why One Vinyl Plank Quote Is Higher Than Another

If you are holding two quotes with a big gap between them, it is almost always one of these:

• Wear layer. Two planks can be the same thickness with completely different wear layers. The wear layer is the clear top coat, it is measured in mils, and it is what decides how long the floor looks new. This is the most common hidden difference between a cheap quote and a fair one.
• Core construction. WPC or Waterproof Foamed Cores cost more but allow you to feel more comfort and have more sound-insulating performance than an SPC or Solid Polymer Core. SPC cores are more rigid and can take impacts or dents better. They are noisier and harder to walk on during the day.
• What the quote leaves out. Tear-out, haul-away, subfloor prep, baseboard removal and transitions are sometimes quietly missing from the low number and come back as change orders.
• 2 Year Installation Warranty. Our installers’ work is warrantied through our store, so the warranty conversation only involves one phone number. Many of our competitors only have a 1 yr install warranty.

How Long Does a Vinyl Plank Install Take?

Time and cost move together, so this question is really the same question. The install itself is usually the shortest part of the project. What takes the time is everything before it.

• Choosing. Take samples home. Looking at a plank in your own light next to your own cabinets is the difference between a floor you like and a floor you tolerate.
• The measure. We come out, measure, and the quote follows promptly. It costs nothing and it does not expire, so there is no reason to leave it until you are ready.
• Getting the material. This is the swing. Anything from our in-stock inventory can go almost immediately because it is in one of our four warehouses. A special order is usually a 7-10 business day wait, and we will tell you which one you are looking at before you commit.
• Tear-out and prep. Pulling carpet is quick. Breaking out mortared tile is not, and levelling a subfloor adds a day on its own.
• The install. An average room goes down faster than most people expect. Stairs, angles and an occupied house are what stretch it.

How to Compare Flooring Quotes Fairly

• Compare total installed prices, not only material prices.
• Ask for the wear layer in mils and thickness in mm on every quote.
• Check that tear-out, haul-away, prep, baseboard removal and transitions are on every quote or none of them.
• Ask who is doing the install and who you call if something goes wrong in a year or two.
• Count the stairs and make sure everyone quoted them.
• Make sure the installers being used have lots of experience. This is not something to cheap out on.

Ways to Bring the Cost Down

• Shop what is in stock. In-stock material skips the freight and the wait, and we keep four warehouses of it. See what is on the floor now. This allows us to bring Truckload pricing directly to you.
• Tear up any of the old flooring or baseboards yourself. This can save you on additional charges.
• Do the whole floor at once. Two rooms in one visit costs less than two visits.
• Mix materials sensibly. Vinyl plank where water and traffic go, carpet in the bedrooms. You get the durability where it matters and pay less overall.
• Use financing rather than downgrading quality. The Flooring America Synchrony HOME card offers 12 month deferred interest plans which lets you buy the wear layer, core and thickness you actually want and spread the payment. Terms and credit approval apply.
