Reading the table for a 12x16 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $767 job from a $2,743 one on the same 192 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range LVP lands near $528 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
