Most residential LVP installations take one to two days. HomeGuide’s luxury vinyl flooring cost guide (checked October 2026) says installing LVP or LVT flooring takes 1 to 2 days, depending on the area size; that is a published national figure, not a schedule promise from The Floor 4U. Timelines can extend if the subfloor needs leveling before installation begins, and you will get a specific timeline once your space is measured.
What is the cheapest way to get vinyl plank flooring installed?
The most cost-effective approach is to choose entry-grade LVP and do any furniture moving yourself before the crew arrives. In our current pricing, builder-grade LVP material runs $2.50 to $3.75 per sq ft. Prices reflect Mokena, IL area rates as of 2026; actual quote depends on your project. Ask during the estimate whether removing old carpet yourself would lower your quote. Cutting corners on subfloor prep or choosing a grade too thin for your traffic level will cost more in early replacement.
Does vinyl plank flooring add value to a home?
It can. Updated LVP floors in good condition are a positive for many buyers, especially waterproof LVP in kitchens and basements, but resale value varies by the home, the product, installation quality and the local market. The benefit is largest when old, worn flooring is being replaced.
