How To Use Laminate Flooring Cost Calculator
Here is a step by step guide on how to use the calculator to get the most accurate price estimate for laminate floors.
1. Enter the correct dimensions of the room. You can add as many rooms as you want, which will give you the ability to estimate the cost of laminate floors throughout the whole house.
2. Select the quality of the floors you want installed, from budget, to mid-range to luxury. Keep in mind that this can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars depending on the quality of flooring you select.
3. Choose whether you want your laminate to be water resistant or standard. If you are looking to install laminate floors in a bathroom, laundry room or another moisture prose area its best to pay more and install waterproof laminate flooring.
4. Select whether you want to have the old floors removed. Depending on the square footage, this can cost an extra $250-500+
6. Enter whether or not you want to install the sub-floor. This costs an extra $2.50 per square foot. Its a good idea to install a new subfloor if your old flooring is warped, crooked or has other issues.
Your flooring installer will be able to advise you whether or not you actually need a subfloor. In the meantime you can calculate both options so you know the price difference.
