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?

Hi folks! My partner and I recently purchased our first home which needs some aesthetic improvement. We decided to tackle flooring first since we believe that + paint will do the most to improve the feel of our home. This was the quote we got for luxury vinyl flooring: $3.29/sqft plus $3,559.31 labor. First off, is this a reasonable cost for labor? Does anything jump out as a red flag? We're in Canada so prices are in CAD. We can afford it, we just don't want to get ripped off. We think most of the cost is from moving furniture and appliances, which seems fair since we do have a lot of furniture and we're doing all the flooring throughout our home including kitchen and bathroom. Secondly, how do we feel about the colour? What do you think about doing it in the kitchens and bathrooms too? I suppose it's "trendy" but in my mind it dispels any illusion that it's hardwood, or people might think it's gross if they do believe it's real wood. (Re: photos, that's the same tile in different lighting.) Finally, do we like this trim? It'll be 3.5" high but very basic. I'm worried that it won't match the trim around the doors and closets, which was probably original to the original owners (condo was built in 1997) and has a more classic texture/shape instead of being a flat plank. That said, it should be easier to clean than something with more crevices and since we're planning on growing our family in the coming years, that's definitely an asset. As young millenials, we're the only ones we know who own their home so we don't have anyone to bounce ideas off of. Would really appreciate some feedback from more seasoned homeowners and interior design enthusiasts. TIA! :)
