The total cost of your vinyl flooring installation will depend on the size of your space, your existing floor type and the product you select. On average, customers spend $3,600, including all labor and materials. For additional details, please schedule your measurement or see a store associate.

You can also use our Project Cost Estimator to help you plan for your vinyl flooring and installation costs.**

**This provides an estimate only. Please schedule a measurement to determine actual project cost.

Some vinyl flooring can be installed directly on top of your subfloor without added materials. However, installing underlayment provides better results for many applications. Underlayment helps reduce noise and provides a flat surface, which can correct imperfections in your subfloor and prevent them from transferring to the finished flooring. If underlayment is required for your installation, our professional installers will help you choose the right product for the job. Our installers may recommend lauan plywood — a type of hardwood — if your current subfloors don’t support vinyl flooring.

We can move furniture for an additional charge. A per-room charge for basic furniture will apply. The fee will be higher if the furniture is complex/oversized and complicates the project or makes a meaningful time impact. This includes, but isn’t limited to, furniture that:

Requires specialized tools for disassembly
Requires three or more people to lift/move it
Has a size/shape that prevents disassembly

If additional charges apply for moving or breaking down furniture, the independent contractor will advise you at the time of measurement, and the additional charges will be included in the quote from Lowe’s.

Excluded items:

Pianos, aquariums, waterbeds, antiques, pool tables, holiday decorations, freestanding gas heating units, large exercise equipment, safes, etc.
Electronics (computers, stereos, home theaters, TVs, medical equipment, alarm systems, etc.)

Save Time and Effort With Professional Vinyl Flooring Installation

Vinyl flooring installation can range from a relatively simple to a complex task. Your installation experience will vary based on the type of vinyl flooring you use, the condition of your subfloor and how difficult it is to remove your existing flooring. Whether you’re replacing worn-out floors or just updating your décor, make sure you get quality results by having a trusted independent installer complete your project.

Vinyl Flooring Installation Options

We offer a large variety of vinyl flooring options at Lowe’s. Vinyl tile flooring has the look and feel of ceramic or stone, while vinyl plank flooring mimics real wood. Vinyl sheet flooring provides a seamless alternative. Check out our Vinyl Flooring Buying Guide for help in deciding which kind of flooring is perfect for your space. You can also use our calculator to estimate the amount of materials and labor hours that’ll figure into your costs.

Installing Vinyl Plank Flooring Yourself

When thinking about whether or not to go the do-it-yourself route, consider your skill level and the type of installation method. For instance, installing vinyl plank flooring will be more difficult and labor intensive than placing simple peel-and-stick tiles. The cost to install vinyl plank flooring will be offset by ensuring quality, professional-looking floors. Also, a professional installer will assess the condition of your subfloor to determine whether an underlayment is needed.
