Reading the table for a 12x12 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $575 job from a $2,058 one on the same 144 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range LVP lands near $396 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
