Free to try.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the money actually moves<\/h2>\n<h3>Material<\/h3>\n<p>LVP price tracks wear layer and core. Thin wear layer over a flexible core sits at the bottom. Meanwhile, rigid core plank with a pad sits at the top. Hardwood price instead tracks species, grade, and board width. Common oak sits low, wide plank and select grade high. Similarly, engineered oak lands inside the premium LVP range.<\/p>\n<h3>Labor<\/h3>\n<p>Generally, LVP floats. A crew drops click-lock plank over underlayment, cuts with a knife, then absorbs small layout errors. Solid hardwood instead goes down board by board with fasteners, racking, and expansion gaps. It also needs acclimation on site and throws more waste. Quote the two labor lines separately, then the gap explains itself. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplywise.com\/blog\/cost-to-install-flooring\/\">cost to install flooring guide<\/a> then breaks that number down room by room.<\/p>\n<h3>Subfloor and moisture<\/h3>\n<p>Moisture, not budget, generally kills hardwood jobs. Solid hardwood swells and cups through humidity swings, so it stays out of basements, full baths, and laundry. Engineered tolerates more and still has limits. Rigid core vinyl brands such as COREtec market waterproof construction, so LVP owns wet rooms and slab on grade. Meanwhile, the National Wood Flooring Association publishes installation and moisture guidelines for wood. Ultimately, read those and the manufacturer spec before you warranty a floor.<\/p>\n<h2>A worked example on 600 square feet<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pm__callout\">\n<p><strong>Main floor, 600 square feet, tear out included.<\/strong> LVP at $4 to $12 puts the job at $2,400 to $7,200. Hardwood at $8 to $25, however, puts it at $4,800 to $15,000. Show both on one page, then hold your margin on whichever the homeowner picks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Which floor for which room<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Living, dining, bedrooms, formal entries:<\/strong> hardwood. Dry, above grade, and especially the rooms buyers photograph.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Basements, kitchens, baths, laundry, mudrooms:<\/strong> LVP, since moisture decides it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rentals and flips:<\/strong> LVP. Low cost, fast install, and you swap a plank instead of sanding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole home consistency:<\/strong> premium rigid core LVP throughout, so one look survives every room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Quote both options on the walkthrough<\/h2>\n<p>The pro who hands over both numbers on site still beats the one emailing a quote that night. SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo into an itemized estimate with material quantities in about 6 seconds. On iPhone Pro models it also scans the room with LiDAR for measurements. Then you hand over a professional, branded quote the client signs to approve. It runs $29.99\/mo or $239.99\/yr, about $20\/mo on annual, with a 7-day free trial, and one subscription opens every app in the SimplyWise suite.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pm__promo\">\n<h2>Quote both floors before you leave the driveway<\/h2>\n<p>Snap the room and get an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds.

LVP material runs roughly $2 to $7 per square foot against roughly $5 to $15 for hardwood, and the LVP labor line runs lower too. Price the job off your own supplier and crew rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What does each floor cost per square foot installed?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Use roughly $8 to $25 per square foot for hardwood and roughly $4 to $12 for LVP, material and labor together. Subfloor prep, tear out, and crew rates decide where inside the band a job falls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can you put solid hardwood in a basement or bathroom?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>Skip it. Solid hardwood swells and cups with moisture, so it stays out of below grade rooms, full baths, and laundry. Engineered tolerates more and still has limits. Rigid core LVP is sold with a waterproof construction claim. Check the manufacturer spec for the product you order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does LVP refinish like hardwood?<\/summary>\n<div>\n<p>No. A printed layer under a clear wear layer gives LVP its look, and sanding removes it. Once the surface wears through, you replace plank.
