LVP Installation Cost in Texas (2026): Real Prices and How Long It Takes

At 254 Floors, installation labor is $1.75 per square foot over a sound, level slab. Add the floor itself and you are at $3.45 to $5.24 per square foot installed. A typical 1,000 sq ft job is done in a day, and we can usually start within 24 to 48 hours of measuring.

5mm rigid core with a 12 mil wear layer: $1.70 material, $3.45 installed.

Made in USA 6.5mm wide plank with a 22 mil wear layer: $2.79 material, $4.54 installed.

8mm premium wide plank with a 28 mil diamond-coated wear layer: $3.49 material, $5.24 installed.

Contractors, remodelers and property managers can ask for contractor pricing.

Material is ordered with about 10% extra for cuts, so these examples price material for 10% more than the floor area.

These are before any tear-out, slab leveling, stairs, furniture moving or trim, which are quoted after the measure.

Removing old carpet, tile or laminate, and haul-off.

Leveling low spots in the slab so the floor clicks together and stays flat.

Stairs, which are quoted after a measure.

Moving furniture, which we do for a fee.

Trim: in most homes we keep the existing baseboards and add shoe molding along the gap, because baseboards often break when they are pried off. If you would rather have new baseboards, we can remove the old ones and install new.

We measure and install in the same week. In most cases we can install within 24 to 48 hours.

A 1,000 sq ft job is usually finished in 1 day. 1,500 sq ft and up normally takes 2 days.

Warehouse Direct floors are on hand for immediate installs. Custom-ordered colors arrive from the manufacturer in about 3 to 5 days.

Installation can get expensive fast if you end up paying for it twice. Vinyl plank is a floating floor: it needs room to expand and contract. When an installer glues the shoe molding down or nails it into the floor, the planks cannot move, and you get gaps, buckling and peaking that usually means pulling the floor up and doing it again.

Everything we install is done to manufacturer specs. Our shoe molding is attached to the baseboard, never glued or nailed to the floor, so your floor floats the way it was designed to. Heavy built-in cabinets should not sit on top of a floating floor either.

A flat slab matters more than anything else. Most installation problems come from skipping leveling.

Ask any installer whether they are insured and what their workmanship warranty is. Ours are insured, with a 6-month warranty from the date of installation.
