Floor and Decor prices vary by flooring type, product grade, and project size; materials commonly run about $1-$10 per square foot, before installation. A complete professionally installed floor often totals $5-$20 per square foot, with demolition, subfloor repairs, location, and tile complexity driving the final quote.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flooring material | $1/sq ft | $4/sq ft | $15+/sq ft | Price varies by material and collection |
| Installed LVP | $4/sq ft | $8/sq ft | $13/sq ft | Includes basic labor and underlayment |
| Installed tile | $7/sq ft | $14/sq ft | $25+/sq ft | Pattern, substrate, and tile size matter |
| Installed hardwood | $8/sq ft | $15/sq ft | $25+/sq ft | Species and installation method affect cost |
| Delivery | $50 | $100 | $250+ | Distance, order weight, and access affect fees |
What Floor and Decor flooring costs by material
Floor and Decor sells flooring at a wide range of price points, and shelf prices are generally material-only. Budget ceramic tile can start around $0.50-$2 per square foot, while common porcelain tile often costs $2-$6. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) typically runs $1.50-$5, laminate $1-$4, and engineered hardwood about $3-$10 per square foot. Natural stone and specialty tile can exceed $15 per square foot.
For a 300-square-foot room, material alone might total $450-$1,500 for midrange LVP or $600-$1,800 for midrange porcelain tile. Add 10%-15% for cuts and breakage; patterned layouts or irregular rooms may need more. For a realistic budget, separate the store’s product price from installation and job-preparation charges.
Assumptions: U.S. retail ranges for common product grades; exact item prices, promotions, and local availability change.
How tile, underlayment, and labor shape the quote
A flooring quote combines the selected product with preparation, installation, and finishing materials. Installation labor is often the largest variable after the flooring itself, particularly for tile, which needs more cutting and setting time than a floating floor.
| Quote component | Typical price | What changes it |
|---|---|---|
| Flooring materials | $1-$10+/sq ft | Material, grade, finish, and waste |
| Installation labor | $2-$12/sq ft | Tile setting, pattern, and room layout |
| Underlayment or backer board | $0.50-$3/sq ft | Subfloor type and product requirements |
| Removal and disposal | $1-$5/sq ft | Old flooring type and dump fees |
| Delivery and accessories | $50-$250; $2-$15/fixture | Delivery distance, transitions, and trim |
Labor may be quoted by square foot or as a minimum charge for small rooms. A simple installation can cost less than a job that includes leveling, stair work, door trimming, or moving heavy furniture. Request an itemized quote that distinguishes product, preparation, installation, and disposal.
Which room and subfloor details raise tile prices
Room size and surface condition strongly affect the final cost. Larger projects may have lower labor rates per square foot, but a 40-square-foot bathroom can still cost more per foot than an open living room because installers face more cuts and fixtures. Tile smaller than 12 by 12 inches, mosaics, diagonal layouts, and intricate patterns commonly add labor compared with standard large-format tile.
Subfloor leveling is another key threshold: correcting minor unevenness may add roughly $1-$3 per square foot, while extensive damage or a new plywood layer can add $2-$6 per square foot. Tile installations over 100 square feet may require more substrate preparation and material staging. For floating LVP, a slab with moisture issues or a floor variation beyond the product’s tolerance can require remediation before installation. Ask the installer to inspect the floor before treating a low product price as the full project budget.
What three Floor and Decor project quotes can include
These examples use typical U.S. retail and contractor ranges, not guaranteed store quotes. They assume normal access and no major structural repairs.
- Bedroom with 250 sq ft of LVP: Materials at $2.50-$4 per square foot cost $625-$1,000; installation at $2-$4 per square foot adds $500-$1,000. Underlayment, transitions, and waste can bring the total to about $1,300-$2,400.
- Kitchen with 180 sq ft of porcelain tile: Tile at $3-$6 per square foot costs $540-$1,080; labor at $6-$12 per square foot adds $1,080-$2,160. Backer board, grout, and removal may raise the total to $2,000-$4,300.
- Living area with 500 sq ft of engineered hardwood: Materials at $5-$9 per square foot cost $2,500-$4,500; installation at $4-$8 adds $2,000-$4,000. Trim and floor preparation can put the total near $4,800-$9,500.
Project totals change quickly when the estimate includes removal, leveling, or upgraded trim.
How long installers need for LVP, hardwood, and tile
A two-person crew may install 300-500 square feet of floating LVP in one day when rooms are clear and the subfloor is ready. Hardwood often takes two to four days for a similar area, depending on fastening or glue-down requirements. Tile commonly takes three to five days because setting, grouting, and curing happen in stages.
Contractor labor rates often fall around $50-$100 per hour, though many flooring installers price by the square foot instead. A minimum visit or mobilization charge of $150-$400 may apply to small jobs. Confirm whether the labor quote includes furniture moving, appliance handling, transitions, and cleanup.
Do regional labor rates change a Floor and Decor budget
Store product prices may be similar across markets, but contractor rates, delivery, and disposal vary. Large metropolitan areas and high-cost coastal markets can run 15%-30% above national midrange labor estimates. Smaller cities and rural markets may come in 5%-15% below, although limited installer availability or long delivery distances can offset the difference.
For example, a tile installation priced at $8 per square foot in a moderate-cost market could reach roughly $9-$10.40 in a high-cost city before materials. Seasonal demand can also affect scheduling and quotes, especially during spring and summer renovation peaks. Compare local installed bids rather than comparing product prices alone.
Which delivery and removal charges belong in the estimate
Heavy tile and stone orders can cost more to deliver than a few cartons of LVP. Common delivery charges are about $50-$250, with higher fees possible for long distances, difficult access, or special handling. Old flooring removal typically costs $1-$5 per square foot; glued-down flooring and tile are usually more labor-intensive than floating laminate.
Other line items can include $1-$3 per square foot for floor leveling, $2-$6 per linear foot for basic transitions, and $1-$4 per square foot for furniture moving. Some projects need new baseboards, toilet resets, or appliance reconnection, each of which may be separately priced. Check the quote for disposal, delivery, trim, and surface preparation before comparing totals.
How to lower a Floor and Decor flooring bill
Choose a straightforward layout and a product that fits the room’s traffic and moisture exposure, rather than paying extra for a premium finish that will not change performance. Standard-size porcelain or midrange LVP can reduce both material waste and labor compared with mosaics, natural stone, or complex patterns. Buy enough material from the same product lot, while confirming the return policy for unopened cartons.
Clear furniture and remove loose old flooring only if the installer approves; improper removal can damage the subfloor or complicate warranty terms. Request at least three itemized installation bids for the same product and scope, and ask whether repair is possible before replacing sound flooring. The largest savings usually come from limiting demolition, leveling, and layout complexity—not simply choosing the cheapest carton.
