ᐅ Quote for Installing Approximately 85 m² of Glue-Down Vinyl Flooring – Price Evaluation

I have now received the offer for the floor coverings from my likely contracting painting company. Is the price reasonable, or is an important item missing? This is basically a flat-rate quote based on the room schedule, so no quantities are included...

Why vinyl? And why not install it yourself?

Why vinyl? And why not install it yourself?

Because I don’t want laminate flooring due to impact sound, and I want a company I can hold accountable if I find any defects. Sure, I could spend a week in the evenings after work installing some laminate myself, but then I’d be responsible for any consequences. I’d rather not install or level a floor covering myself. I feel confident installing laminate as a floating floor, but as I said, the impact sound bothers me with laminate. I’ve also often heard that with underfloor heating, it’s better to glue down the floor covering, and vinyl is also better for heat transfer.

Yes, but there are plenty of click systems that you, as a layperson, can easily glue together. Vinyl is plastic, containing plasticizers and other harmful substances. If you want something good, you’re looking at real wood planks, which are more expensive. I would go for those right away.

With a limited budget, laminate is the better choice.

Regarding the quote: a professional can install 80m2 (860 sq ft) of flooring in one day. That means around 700 euros labor plus materials.

I find that very expensive.

Don’t let anyone put you off vinyl

We paid a total of 58€/m² (about $60/m²), and for you it’s 60€/m² (about $62/m²) if I calculate including tax, so if that covers EVERYTHING, that’s fine.
(sanding the screed, leveling where necessary, adhesive, flooring, baseboards, etc.)
