I got a quote from Home Depot for a vinyl floor install and it seemed a bit high, but since this is my first home (bought in Nov 2021) and my first time getting flooring done I wanted to see if this is a fair estimate or if they are high balling me. It’s for 103 sq. ft. In my basement. Just a small area for me to make my office down there. All together for material and labor they quoted me $1100. Does that seem fair? This is the flooring I would like https://www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-Peyor-Blue-7-13-in-W-x-48-03-in-L-Rigid-Core-Click-Lock-Luxury-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-23-77-sq-ft-Case-VTRHDPEYOAK7X48/314263482

What do you think?

I have an old house and a room that needs a new floor. It needs to be easy to clean and disinfect. I would prefer flooring that can be put down as a sheet, with as few joining cracks as possible.

Due to the character of my house, I would really love to use the kind of vintage printed linoleum that people’s grandparents had. I looked up where to get reproduction linoleum but I can’t find it anywhere. Everything close to what I want is vinyl sheet flooring, which I’ll do if there’s really no other choice, but I don’t love it. It’s even hard to find linoleum when you don’t care about the pattern or what color it is. I wonder if I am missing a search term or something.

My dad’s in a business where he sometimes has to source home improvement materials. I asked him this question and he said he hasn’t seen it for 20 years. He suggested posting ISO on Craigslist.

Does anyone know where to find new, new old stock, or like new linoleum flooring?
