Reading the table for a 18x18 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $1,294 job from a $4,630 one on the same 324 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range LVP lands near $891 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
