I’m curious what flooring professional charge for a flooring job Specifically for Labor costs?
I completely understand that every job has different costs When you consider materials being used and the labor that can entail and floor leveling etc.. To be specific to my Job I need someone to install 893 Sq. Ft. of (vinly plank flooring). My Square Footage is split between two levels with 11 stairs and I’m being quoted between $$$$4-6 thousand just for labor. All I literally need is them to lay the flooring with a minimal amount of leveling! there is no demo for the contractor to do as all the flooring is removed already. and there isnt much leveling they have to do either to the floor. Im installing all the base and quarter round myself as this is something I can handle with my back injury. So I want them to come in and level some minor areas and lay the flooring. I’ve only talked to 3 contractors but I find this to be very over priced for standard click lock style vinyl Planks. I have personally installed this type of flooring before and it’s quite easy to install, but due to a back injury I cannot do the work unfortunately! I’ve looked at the national average on many websites and the cost of labor is insanely over priced from what I understand. Even at 4.5K the lowest I have been quoted, Thats about 5 bucks a square foot on installation costs. as I said before they don’t even have to move furniture or rip out flooring, it’s already done!!!
*If this is way overpriced, How do I Negotiate?
*And most importantly what should the cost of labor be on a job like mine???
Thanks
