Why Georgia prices differ from national averages
Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — a box of laminate costs about the same in every big-box store. What moves is labor. Installer day rates in Georgia track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.88 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for Georgia projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Waterproof AC4 Laminate installed at $2.00/sf nationally becomes about $1.76/sf in Georgia.
