What drives the cost
Flooring price comes down to material (waterproof LVP is fast and affordable; tile and stone cost more in both material and labor), subfloor prep (a flat, sound slab installs cheaply; leveling, patching or moisture issues add up), tear-out of the old floor, and layout — diagonal, herringbone, or rooms full of cuts and transitions take longer. Stairs and lots of small closets and thresholds also add labor.
LVP vs. tile in South Florida — which to pick
On a Florida slab, luxury vinyl plank is the value pick: it’s waterproof, handles humidity, installs fast, and looks like wood at a fraction of tile’s labor. Tile is the premium, cooler-underfoot choice — best in wet areas and for resale — but it’s more labor-intensive (substrate prep, layout, cutting, grout). Laminate splits the difference on price but isn’t as water-friendly. For most Broward homes doing a whole floor on a budget, LVP wins; for bathrooms, entries and showers, tile earns its cost.
When a job legally needs a licensed contractor
Flooring and tile installation are license-exempt under Florida HB 735, so 1st Integrity installs LVP, laminate and tile across Broward. What needs a licensed trade is anything structural (repairing floor joists or a failing subframe) or plumbing (relocating a drain for a bathroom). We’ll handle the floor and tell you straight if there’s a structural or plumbing issue underneath. Check a specific job free on our Do I Need a License? tool.
Frequently asked
How much does it cost to install vinyl plank flooring in Broward?
Installed LVP runs about $3–$7 per square foot in Broward (2026) — so a 200 sq ft room is roughly $800–$2,000, depending on subfloor prep and tear-out of the old floor.
How much does tile installation cost per square foot?
Porcelain or ceramic tile runs about $7–$15 per square foot installed, and natural stone $10–$20 — tile is more labor-intensive than plank, especially with intricate layouts or lots of cuts.
