Flooring Installation cost by city
New flooring is priced by material and square footage, plus the cost of removing the old floor and prepping the subfloor. Material choice is the single biggest factor.
Nationally this runs about $3,000–$12,000 for about 1,000 sq ft installed. Pick your city for a local 2026 estimate.
