FAQ

Flooring Questions, Answered

Straight answers to what homeowners ask most before getting a quote.

Materials typically make up 50–70% of your total cost, while professional installation accounts for 30–50%. Higher-end materials like solid hardwood or large-format tile push the material share higher. Complex layouts, subfloor repairs, or demo of existing flooring can increase labor costs considerably. A quote from a local contractor is the only reliable way to understand your specific number.
Yes, completely free. There is no cost to request a quote and no obligation to hire anyone. You are never charged for using Fair Floor Quote, and you are always in control of whether you move forward.
No. We match you with one local contractor who covers your area and handles the type of flooring you need. You get a single, focused quote: no juggling multiple calls or comparing bids.
Most single-room installs take 1–2 days. Multi-room projects typically run 3–5 days. Hardwood and tile take longer than LVP or carpet due to acclimation, curing, or grout drying time. Your contractor will provide a project-specific timeline when they deliver their quote.
No. Contractors assess your existing floor as part of the quoting process. Demo and disposal is usually included in the installation quote. Some homeowners handle demo themselves to reduce costs, but it is not required to get a quote.
Partial replacements are common, especially after water damage or heavy wear in one room. When you fill out the form, specify exactly which areas need work. Contractors will quote you on the scope you describe, whether that is one room, a hallway, or your whole home.
Hardwood consistently adds the most resale value, often returning 70–80% of installation costs at sale. LVP offers a strong middle ground: lower upfront cost with good durability and broad buyer appeal. For rental properties or high-traffic areas, LVP or tile typically deliver the best long-term value due to their durability and low maintenance needs.
