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 laminate flooring cost installed?
Installed laminate in the Atlanta area typically runs $3.50 to $6.00 per square foot, including product and labor. A 1,000 square foot laminate project usually lands between $3,500 and $6,500 depending on the quality tier and removal needs.
Is laminate cheaper than LVP?
Yes, laminate is generally the most budget-friendly wood-look flooring option. It offers a realistic hardwood visual and strong scratch resistance at a lower price per square foot than luxury vinyl plank, though it is not fully waterproof like LVP.
Does laminate look like real hardwood?
Modern laminate uses high-resolution printed images of real wood under a durable wear layer, so it closely mimics hardwood grain and texture. Higher quality tiers offer deeper embossing and more realistic plank dimensions.
Is laminate good for homes with pets and kids?
Laminate is highly scratch resistant, which makes it a solid choice for busy households. It is not waterproof, so spills and pet accidents should be cleaned quickly. For fully waterproof performance, consider luxury vinyl plank instead.
How long does laminate flooring last?
Quality laminate flooring typically lasts 15 to 25 years in a residential setting with normal care. It cannot be refinished like solid hardwood, so once the wear layer wears through the planks are replaced rather than resurfaced.
