Why Tennessee is different from Los Angeles
Construction workers in Tennessee earn about 27% less than in the Los Angeles area (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025), so labor costs less. Our base prices come from Los Angeles quotes and are scaled by that difference.
What moves the price
- Room size, and how many corners, closets and doorways the floor has to go around.
- The subfloor: it has to be flat and dry, and fixing it costs extra.
- Removing the old flooring, if it is in the quote.
- Transitions, baseboard and shoe molding.
- Furniture moved out and back.
