Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation Cost

Mike K.
Posted

I found a property that might work for the BRRRR strategy. Older home UP/Down Duplex. Exterior siding has been redone. There is a newer metal roof. Interior has original hardwoods floors at the end of their life. Trying to estimate total cost to install new vinyl plank flooring throughout. Looks like floor cost is around $3/sq. foot. My research online indicates $2-$2.50/sq. foot for installation of flooring. Does this match up with your experience. Thanks for the input.

Hardwood floors are pretty durable .  You could always sand and stain them , a couple coats of gloss poly and you would be surprised .  Remember , once you put in furniture , and some rugs you dont see that much floor .   

I have a rental that the hardwood was in rough shape , stains , gouges , etc . We sanded them , then beat on them with a chain , hammer and took a propane torch to areas , put on a clear coat and they turned out great , with a distressed look .
