Factors That Impact Your Total Cost

Other factors that affect the final price include: 

  • Floor preparation: Removing old flooring, leveling the subfloor, or repairing concrete will increase project cost. 
  • Project size: Larger projects often have a lower per-square-foot cost. 
  • Layout complexity: Multiple rooms, tight spaces, stairs, or intricate patterns increase labor costs. 
  • Business requirements: Working overnight, on weekends, or in occupied buildings can increase installation costs. 
  • Moisture mitigation: Mitigating excessive moisture in a concrete slab can increase costs 

Budgeting Tip: If you’re budgeting a commercial flooring project, it’s a good idea to include an additional 10–20% contingency for unforeseen subfloor repairs or changes during installation.
