Ways to lower your Austin price
- Choose click-lock LVP or laminate and install it yourself in low-traffic rooms.
- Buy material during holiday flooring sales and have the retailer store it.
- Keep the same material throughout to avoid transition strips and extra cuts.
- Remove old carpet and haul it yourself — that alone saves $1 to $2 per square foot.
- Order 7% to 10% overage, not 20%; excess material is money left on the floor.
