Why Texas prices differ from national averages
Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — a box of LVP costs about the same in every big-box store. What moves is labor. Installer day rates in Texas track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.82 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for Texas projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Premium Wide-Plank LVP installed at $2.75/sf nationally becomes about $2.25/sf in Texas.
