What's Included
What Your Estimate Includes
Our estimate includes the flooring materials you selected, professional installation, removal of your existing flooring (if selected), and the applicable Georgia sales tax on flooring materials, calculated live for your specific ZIP code. This calculator is designed to provide a realistic budget estimate, but every home is unique. Your final investment may vary after we complete a complimentary in-home measurement and inspect the existing conditions of your home.
During your free in-home consultation, we'll professionally measure your space, verify all project details, help you select the perfect flooring, and provide a detailed written proposal with final pricing before any work begins. If needed, additional items such as stairs, trim and quarter round, transition strips, baseboards, furniture moving, floor leveling, door jamb or door frame modifications, subfloor repairs, moisture mitigation, or other site-specific conditions will be evaluated and quoted separately so you have a complete understanding of your project before making any decisions.

Pricing Factors
What Affects Your Flooring Cost
Square footage
The biggest driver. More floor means more product, more labor, and more removal. Measuring accurately (or letting us measure professionally) keeps your estimate tight.
Flooring type & quality tier
Budget LVP and laminate cost less per square foot than solid hardwood or premium engineered products. Within each type, a higher quality tier raises the price per square foot.
Existing flooring removal
Tearing out carpet is inexpensive; removing tile or glued-down hardwood costs more. The calculator prices removal individually for each area based on what is there now.
Waste allowance
Extra product is ordered so installers can pattern-match and cut around corners. Typical waste is 8–15%; larger or more complex rooms may need more.
Stairs, trim & subfloor repair
Staircases, quarter round, transitions, and subfloor prep are priced separately in your final in-home quote. The calculator gives you a planning range for the floor itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does new flooring cost in Atlanta?
Most flooring projects across Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb County run between $4 and $15 per square foot installed, depending on the flooring type and quality tier you choose. A typical 1,000 square foot project lands between $4,500 and $12,000 including product, installation, removal, and sales tax. Use the calculator above for a range tailored to your exact rooms.
Is this flooring calculator free to use?
Yes. The calculator is completely free and does not require your name, email, or phone number. You can run as many estimates as you like before deciding whether to schedule a free in-home consultation.
How accurate is the estimate?
The calculator gives you a reliable planning range based on real Atlanta pricing for each flooring type and quality tier. Your final quote is confirmed after a free in-home measurement, because room shape, subfloor condition, stairs, and trim all affect the exact total.
Does the estimate include installation labor?
Yes. Every price per square foot in the calculator includes both the flooring product and professional installation labor. Removal of your existing flooring and Georgia sales tax on the flooring products are itemized separately so you can see exactly what makes up your total.
Does the estimate include flooring removal?
Yes. The calculator estimates removal for each area based on the existing flooring you select. Carpet removal is the least expensive; tile and glued-down hardwood removal cost more. The removal cost is shown per area and totaled in your estimate.
What is not included in the calculator estimate?
The planning estimate covers flooring product, installation, removal, and product sales tax. It does not include stairs, quarter round and baseboards, transition strips, subfloor repair, furniture or appliance moving, or custom accessories. These are quoted in person during your free in-home consultation.
How does sales tax work on flooring in Georgia?
Georgia charges sales tax on the flooring product portion of your project, and the exact rate varies by county and city. Our calculator looks up the live combined state, county, and local sales tax for your specific ZIP code so your estimate matches what you will actually pay. Labor and removal are not taxed.
Can I estimate more than one flooring type?
Yes. Choose the mixed-project mode and split your home into areas. You can put LVP in the living room and kitchen, carpet in the bedrooms, and tile in the bathrooms — each area is estimated separately and added to one total.
Why is By Design Floors transparent about pricing when other companies are not?
Most flooring companies in Atlanta hide their pricing because they want to get a salesperson in your home before you know the cost. We believe you deserve to know whether a project fits your budget before anyone visits. We are confident in our craftsmanship and our value, so we publish real price ranges and let you decide.
What happens after I get my estimate?
If the range fits your budget, you can schedule a free in-home consultation. We bring flooring samples, professionally measure every room, confirm your subfloor and trim needs, and give you a final personalized quote — all at no cost and with no obligation.
Do I have to book an appointment to use the calculator?
