Common Questions

Laminate and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) remain the most budget-friendly options, with total installed costs ranging from $4.00 to $9.00 per sq ft. For a standard 500 sq ft area, this typically totals between $2,000 and $4,500.

For a 1,000 sq ft project in St. John's, homeowners should budget between $11,000 and $25,000. This includes mid-range hardwood materials ($6-$15/sq ft) and professional labor ($5-$10/sq ft), plus approximately $1,500 for subfloor prep and trim.

Labor rates in St. John's are roughly 2-5% higher than the national average due to local logistics and cost of living, with installers charging between $45 and $95 per hour, or $2.50 to $8.00 per sq ft depending on material complexity.

Most St. John's contractors charge separately for removal. Expect to pay $1.50 to $3.50 per sq ft for carpet removal and $3.00 to $7.00 per sq ft for tile demolition and disposal.
