Linoleum flooring pricing??
If it's exactly 12', you can use a 12' roll efficiently without remnants. Sheet Vinyl will run you $1-2/sqft depending on quality (up to $3-4 if you pay MSRP), so $150-300 for material. Add another $50-100 for materials (a bucket of cement or two), and $200-300 for installation labor.
More on reddit.comWhat do you lay under linoleum flooring?
Some linoleums have a built-in base layer, so you don’t need a separate underlay when installing linoleum flooring on top of a smooth and level surface. If the surface is not level, adding a plywood underlayment saves you from having to smooth or repair the existing floor.
How much should I pay for a linoleum floor?
On average, you can expect to spend $2 to $7 per square foot on linoleum and an additional $1 to $5 per square foot on labor (or around $35 for an hourly rate). Prices rise with higher-end products, and thinner sheet linoleum is the least expensive. Planks and tiles cost more because they’re thicker and more durable. You’ll also pay more for designer brands and high-end styles versus basic designs.
Is it cheaper to install carpet or vinyl flooring?
No, it isn’t less expensive to install carpet compared to vinyl floors. The cost of installing carpet can range between $3 and $11 per square foot, so it falls just over the cost of installing vinyl flooring, at an average of $3 to $7 per square foot. High-quality carpeting can also range much higher, even up to $20 per square foot.

So, I already did the work but vastly underestimated how long it would take. I told the client I charge $50/hr and that I thought it would prolly take about 10hrs.
Kitchen is small - bout 60 square ft. Client is a hoarder so cleaning it out took a lil while and I had to move a stacking W/D and the refrigerator around. Old flooring was sheet vinyl. It came up stupid easy. But under that was more linoleum. There were a few spots where it was even three layers thick.
The bottommost linoleum was fused to the plywood underneath and took me a while to get up. I used an oscillating tool with a scraper blade to cut through the adhesive where it was completely fused.
Then cleaning and prepping the floor took me waaaay longer than I thought. I used floor adhesive stripper twice and even then there was stubborn residue that did not want to come up. I finally hit it with a combo of orbital sander with 60 grit, Goo Gone, and a scraper. Then sanded and washed the floor. The plywood layer over the subfloor also needed a small patch where it had rotted from water damage at some time in the past.
So I was at 16 hrs before laying the tile. And another 4 for that.
I want to ask for more than the 500 I originally estimated but suspect a more experienced person would have gotten it done faster so I’d like to know what a fair price to ask would be.
Can I get some realistic pricing to what i should be paying for grey vinyl flooring? This is only for 580sqft. As i said above some guys want to charge $3500 labor for 580sq ft vinyl floor job and then $1500-2000 dollars for the materials which sound like bs. I asked how much carpet was and he said 500 dollars less. I know some people will here will give more realistic prices, i live in detroit mi.
