What the installed price includes
The flooring, underlayment, standard installation, transitions between rooms, and haul-away of scraps. Removing your old floor, floor prep, stairs, and moving furniture or appliances are priced separately. Typical prices for each are listed below.
Good, better, best
- Good: entry-level LVP with a thinner wear layer. Fine for rentals, basements, and low-traffic rooms.
- Better: a stronger wear layer and better warranty. The right choice for most kitchens and living areas.
- Best: the most realistic looks, widest planks, and longest warranties, for main living spaces you'll keep for years.
The wear layer is the clear protective top coat, and it matters more than thickness. When you compare two LVP quotes, ask about the wear layer and warranty. Two floors both called "LVP" can be very different products.

Projects outside the Grand Valley, including Mesa, Collbran, De Beque, Gateway, and Glade Park, add an installer trip charge of $2.67 to $3.00 per mile one way, per install day or vehicle. A measure fee may also apply, at the federal mileage rate round trip, and it's credited toward your project if you go ahead with us.
Grand Valley note: concrete slabs
Many homes here sit on a concrete slab. Floating floors like LVP go over a 6 mil vapor barrier on concrete to keep moisture away from the new floor. Homes with a crawlspace or basement need different prep, and we account for that in your estimate.
Is LVP worth it over carpet?
In kitchens, baths, basements, entries, and homes with pets or young kids, yes. LVP handles spills and heavy wear far better than carpet, and a mid-grade LVP can last 15 to 25 years with proper care. In bedrooms, carpet is still warmer, quieter, and less expensive.
Deposit and payment
A 50% deposit schedules your project and orders materials, and the balance is due when installation is complete. We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Prices shown are before sales tax, which applies to materials only.
