How Much Does New Flooring Cost?
HomeAdvisor, the home services website, estimates that it costs $3,131 to install new flooring in a standard, 320-square-foot living room (20 feet by 16 feet), with budget installations of, say, sheet vinyl at a bit under $1,000 and flooring like tile that requires more time and expertise to install costing up to $7,000.
Below, we detail different flooring types to help you choose based on how much foot traffic, sunlight, and wear and tear you expect your floor to endure. We’ve also outlined some often-overlooked details you’ll need to decide on, such as flooring textures and underlayments. Our flooring ratings can help in your search; we put the most common flooring types and brands—including Armstrong, LL Flooring (formerly Lumber Liquidators), Pergo, and Tarkett—through a series of tough tests that assess resistance to foot traffic, scratches, stains, dents, water, and sunlight. We also grade floors on slip resistance.
