I'm curious about what everyone paid to have luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring installed in their homes. Could you share the total cost along with the square footage? Also, did you go with a big company or a local one for the installation?

I worked with a small, independent shop for my 600 sqft installation, costing around $3,000. We did the baseboard removal and reinstall ourselves because I wanted to avoid shoe moulding. It worked out great!
I managed to do my own installation and paid around $3 per square foot. LVP is pretty straightforward to work with, though it can be quite a workout! Just a heads-up—it may look easier on YouTube than it actually is!
I went all out with a local flooring company. For 3,000 sqft of high-quality LVP with a thick wear layer, the total came to about $24,000, including installation. Pro tip: avoid Home Depot or Lowe's for flooring installs; they often subcontract to the cheapest labor, which can lead to disasters.
Wow, that's a huge investment! Makes me rethink my budget if people are spending that much on LVP!
I picked up my LVP at an auction and did all the work myself, which only cost me about $1.35 per square foot. Definitely a bargain for DIYers!
Totally! You might make a few mistakes as a first-timer, but it's worth trying if you're up for it. Just don't underestimate the effort involved!
