Floors of Distinction in Leesburg
1 house was easier since we had them install plank vinyl in 2 bedrooms before we moved in. We removed baseboards (and painted ourselves) and took out carpet. Crew re-installed baseboards (no quarter-round). This was a one-day job, but I think they came back the second for a few minor things.
2nd home was a much bigger job. Removed ceramic tile in kitchen, entrance, hallway, and guest bath. Floors of Distinction could remove the tile 2 ways - 1) least expensive but lot of dust or 2) third-party, dust-free (mostly) for extra $'s. We opted for dust-free and glad we did. We lived in house while all this was going on and no problem. Crew moved and replaced all furniture.
Previous owner had plank vinyl installed in living room and master that we like, but we did not like the transition strips to ceramic tile. Crew removed plank tile in living room (older run, so it didn't quite match newer version plank tile. Removed all quarter-round (previous owner so we stayed with quarter-round). Installed new plank vinyl throughout, except master bedroom (we left old run version since it was separate from rest of floors) (installer did not like the transition strip to bathroom in our master bedroom and replaced it with new one) - living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, hallway, entrance and guest bathroom. Crew removed (and replaced) kitchen cabinet baseboards and pulled out stove and refrigerator. Kitchen now has same floor as rest of house and no transition between living room, dining room and entrance or kitchen.
We had enclosed our lanai. We had Floors of Distinction take "old" plank vinyl from living room and use it on the lanai. It was extra work to trim out the floor with quarter-round to make the edges neat and tidy, but the installation crew did a great job.
I was very impressed with the transition strips installed for the external doors and next to the tub in the guest bath (I didn't know it needed a transition strip beforehand) and it blends in and looks great. The crew removed the toilet and reinstalled the toilet with a new wax ring after installing the vinyl plank.
I think the job was 4 days.
I can't quote you price per square foot, but call and talk to someone at the store. The estimate is free and they need to measure your floors to give you a quote. The owner happened to be our sales rep and he spent a lot of time up front explaining our options and prices. He was professional and very detailed. He took his time and answered all our questions.
