Vinyl flooring installation cost in Plantation, FL starts at an estimated $7.60 per sq ft with Fresh Remodel, including waterproof luxury vinyl plank, a moisture barrier and professional installation. Removing your old floor, leveling the slab, stairs and delivery are priced separately, so a typical 200 sq ft room with old ceramic tile comes to an estimated $2,200, plus baseboards. These are estimates, and your exact price depends on your home.
Nationally, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) runs about $4–$12 per sq ft installed, depending on the product line and how much prep the subfloor needs. Below you will find both: the national numbers, and the real line items from our current estimate sheet.
As a family-owned, licensed General Contractor headquartered in Plantation since 1996, Fresh Remodel installs waterproof vinyl in homes and condos across Plantation, Sunrise, Davie and Weston, and throughout Broward and North Miami-Dade. Our Plantation prices come from our current estimate sheet and real South Florida jobs on concrete slabs, not from a national calculator.

Cost of LVP per Square Foot: Material and Labor
The cost of LVP per square foot has two parts: the material and the labor to install it. The material is where prices vary the most, and the biggest factor is the wear layer, the clear top coat that protects the floor from scratches.
| LVP Quality Level | Wear Layer | Material (per sq ft) | Installed (per sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry-level | 6–12 mil | $1.50–$3 | $4–$6 |
| Mid-range rigid core | 12–20 mil | $3–$5 | $5–$9 |
| Premium | 20 mil and up | $5–$7+ | $8–$12 |
Approximate 2026 national ranges. Labor typically adds $1.50–$5 per sq ft, depending on the area and how much prep the floor needs.
Which wear layer is worth paying for? Match it to the room, not to the whole house. A 12 mil wear layer is enough for bedrooms and home offices. Kitchens, hallways, entryways and homes with pets or kids do better with 20 mil or more, because that is where scratches show first. In a mixed home, using the thicker wear layer only in the high-traffic areas keeps the total down without shortening the life of the floor.
What our $7.60 per sq ft includes:
- Waterproof luxury vinyl plank
- A moisture barrier over the concrete slab
- Professional installation by our flooring crew
Removal of the old floor, leveling, baseboards, stairs and delivery are listed separately, so you can see exactly what your project needs and nothing more.

Example: replacing old ceramic tile with waterproof vinyl in a 200 sq ft ground-floor room
- Waterproof vinyl with moisture barrier: 200 sq ft × $7.60 = $1,520
- Tile removal & disposal: 200 sq ft × $2.50 = $500
- Delivery: $180
- Estimated total: about $2,200
- New 5½-inch baseboards, if you want them: a 10 × 20 ft room has about 60 linear feet of wall, so 60 × $5.40 = about $324, less door openings. If the slab needs leveling, it adds from $5.00 per sq ft.
Prices include materials and labor. These are estimates based on our current price sheet; your final price may vary with the product line, the condition of your slab and the layout of your home, and we confirm it in your written estimate.

Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Cost by Project Size
The total luxury vinyl plank flooring cost depends mostly on two things: how many square feet you are covering and what is on the floor today. These estimates use our current price sheet (subtotals before delivery and baseboards):
| Project | Vinyl Installed | Old Floor Removal | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedroom, 150 sq ft (over carpet) | $1,140 | $112.50 | $1,252.50 |

| Whole home, 1,000 sq ft (over ceramic tile) | $7,600 | $2,500 | $10,100 |
Add delivery ($180 per pallet at ground level, $280 above ground level), new baseboards ($5.40 per linear foot), transition moldings ($58 each) and floor leveling if your slab needs it (from $5.00 per sq ft). If we move furniture, add $160 per area. For a kitchen, add $90 for each appliance we move and reconnect, so a refrigerator, range and dishwasher add $270. For a bathroom, add $250 to reinstall the toilet.
These are estimates based on our current price sheet. Your final price may vary with the product line, the condition of your slab and the layout of your home, so call us at (954) 859-5189 for an exact quote.
Stairs: vinyl on stairs costs $120 per step. A standard 13-step staircase comes to $1,560.
Waterproof Vinyl From Our Recent Projects
What Changes the Cost of Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Two homes with the same square footage can get different estimates. These are the factors that move the cost of vinyl plank flooring up or down:
1. The Product Line and Wear Layer
A thicker wear layer and a rigid core cost more per box, but they last longer in busy rooms. The vinyl brands we install most, like Parkay (XCC Force Plus) and MSI, offer waterproof lines at several wear-layer levels, so we can match the product to the room and the budget.
2. What Is Under Your Current Floor
Removing carpet costs $0.75 per sq ft, while breaking out old ceramic tile costs $2.50 per sq ft. Tile removal is heavier work and often reveals thin-set and uneven spots on the slab.
3. The Condition of the Concrete Slab
Vinyl needs a flat surface. If the slab has dips after the old floor comes out, leveling starts at $5.00 per sq ft. Filling a step-down between rooms costs $12.50 per sq ft. We check this during the in-home visit, so it is in your estimate from day one instead of becoming a surprise later.
4. Layout, Transitions and Large Open Areas
Closets, hallways and doorways add cuts and transition moldings ($58 each, installed), and large open areas need transitions so the floor has room to move. We mark where each one goes during the visit, so they are already in your estimate. To see why open layouts and South Florida humidity make transitions so important, read our section on humidity, AC and concrete slabs.
5. Kitchens, Bathrooms and Condos
Kitchens add appliance removal and reconnection ($90 each), and bathrooms add toilet reinstallation ($250). Condos usually require a certified acoustic underlayment and association approval, and delivery above ground level is $280 per pallet instead of $180.
Can You Save by Installing Vinyl Yourself?
You would save the labor portion, but on a slab with old tile, the removal, leveling and moisture barrier are where most DIY floors go wrong. Before you decide, read our DIY pros and cons for vinyl and laminate.
How Long Does Vinyl Flooring Installation Take?
Less time than most homeowners expect, and that is one reason labor on vinyl stays reasonable. Vinyl uses a click-lock system and cuts cleanly on site, so the crew spends its time on preparation and fit, not on fighting the material.
“Vinyl is very easy to cut, just a utility knife and a ruler. Any of our crews can prepare the floor and install 200 square feet in about three hours, without counting the baseboards.” — Dasiel Duran, Owner, Fresh Remodel
What adds time to the schedule is the same work that adds cost on the estimate sheet:
- Removing old ceramic tile, which is heavier work than pulling up carpet or old laminate.
- Leveling the slab or filling a step-down between rooms.
- Stairs, baseboards and transitions, which are installed after the main floor.
- Kitchens and bathrooms, where appliances or the toilet have to come out and go back in.
We include each of these in your schedule from day one, so you know how many days your home will be under work before we start.
LVT Flooring Installation: Is It Different From LVP?
LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile. Many people use LVT and LVP as the same thing, and the core material is the same. The difference is the shape: LVP comes in long planks that look like wood, while LVT usually comes in square or rectangular tiles that look like stone or ceramic.
The bigger difference for your budget is how it is installed:
- Click-lock rigid-core LVT: installs the same way as LVP and falls in the same price range.
- Glue-down (flexible) LVT: needs a near-perfect subfloor, so it is more likely to need leveling, which adds from $5.00 per sq ft.
For most homes in Plantation, we recommend a rigid-core product, plank or tile. It usually needs less slab prep than glue-down vinyl, which keeps the leveling line on your estimate smaller.
Real Project: 1,042 sq ft of Waterproof Vinyl
In one of our recent whole-home projects, we installed 1,042 sq ft of Parkay XCC Force Plus in Driftwood Grey over a 6-mil moisture barrier, with matching T-moldings at the doorways and new 5½-inch primed baseboards.
At our current waterproof vinyl rate of $7.60 per sq ft, a floor that size comes to an estimated $7,920 for the vinyl, moisture barrier and installation, before old floor removal, baseboards and delivery.

Is Vinyl Cheaper Than Tile or Wood?
Yes, by a wide margin. When you compare the cost of vinyl flooring with tile and wood on our estimate sheet, waterproof luxury vinyl costs $7.60 per sq ft installed, while porcelain tile costs $12.50 per sq ft at ground level, and porcelain wood-look plank and engineered wood both cost $13.50 per sq ft. In a 200 sq ft room, that is an estimated $1,520 for vinyl versus $2,700 for porcelain plank, before removal.

How We Price Your Floor: In-Home Visit and 100% Financing

Our lead designer, Andrea Duran, helps you pick the line and color that match your home, your foot traffic and your budget. And with 100% financing available, you can plan your new floor around a monthly payment.
Hiring Vinyl Floor Installers in Plantation
The installer matters as much as the product. A low per-square-foot price means little if the moisture barrier is skipped or the expansion gaps are wrong. When you compare quotes, check that the estimate lists removal, leveling, moisture barrier, transitions and baseboards line by line.
Fresh Remodel is a Florida Certified General Contractor (License #CGC-1506284), so our vinyl floor installers can also handle what shows up under an old floor, like cracked slabs, plumbing or electrical lines. Because we source and sell the materials we install, one warranty covers both the product and the labor.

What is the cost of LVP per square foot for the material alone?
About $1.50–$3 for entry-level LVP, $3–$5 for mid-range rigid core and $5–$7 or more for premium lines with a 20 mil or thicker wear layer.
How much does it cost to install 1,000 sq ft of vinyl plank flooring?
With our current prices, 1,000 sq ft of waterproof vinyl is estimated at $7,600 installed. If old ceramic tile has to come out first, removal adds $2,500, for a subtotal of $10,100, plus delivery, baseboards and any leveling the slab needs.
Does the price include removing my old floor?
No, removal is listed separately so you only pay for what your home needs: $0.75 per sq ft for carpet and padding, $1.50 for old laminate or vinyl, $2.50 for ceramic tile and $3.20 for glued-down engineered wood, including disposal.

Is LVT flooring installation more expensive than LVP?
Not when both are click-lock rigid core; they cost about the same to install. Glue-down LVT can cost more because it needs a flatter subfloor, which often means leveling.

Only for the extra work: $90 for each appliance we remove and reconnect, and $250 to reinstall a toilet.

Our crews prepare the floor and install about 200 sq ft of vinyl in around three hours. Tile removal, slab leveling, stairs and baseboards add time, and we include them in your schedule before we start.
