Is $6,869 to install LVP flooring (including removal and prep) through the builder's company a fair price?
Project Details
I just closed on a new construction home. The builder only offered limited LVP color options, so I chose vinyl sheet flooring with the plan to upgrade to LVP after closing. Both options offer a 1-year installation warranty, and the same installer would do the work either way, so the quality of workmanship should be identical. I'm seeking advice on whether to go with the company (higher price, more formal process) or hire the same installer directly (lower price, more risk and limited support offered). I'm also looking for LVP brand/type recommendations, having seen some 6.5mm/22mil wear layer options at Home Depot and local flooring stores.
