QuoteIron › Flooring price book › Install LVP Flooring
LVP is priced by room size in the book, not per square foot, and the spread is huge: 6 hours and $420 for a room under 120 sq ft, up to 26 hours and $2,200 for a 450-900 sq ft whole floor. Materials are the biggest line, so the markup policy matters as much as the rate. Labor-only (customer supplies the flooring) is a separate row and prices very differently.

What moves the price
- Subfloor. Flatness and moisture decide whether click-lock LVP works. A glue-down install on concrete is its own row.
- Square footage with waste. Price the material for the actual area plus waste, not the nominal room size.
- Transitions, stairs and trim. They are separate rows. A "floor" quote that forgets them is a loss.

How these numbers are built
QuoteIron’s price book stores structure: typical labor hours and a mid-grade parts cost for each job (book priced 2026-09). Your rates do the pricing: hours × your hourly rate, plus parts at cost with your markup, rounded up to the next $5. The low, typical and high figures use $75, $95 and $125 an hour at the book’s default 30% markup. They are formula outputs, not a survey of what your market pays, so replace them with your own rate and markup before you send anything. Prices checked October 8, 2026.
