Every metro in this survey table has a published median for this category. Equal medians share a rank. This compares survey results, not the price of identical work.
What this figure includes
Flooring, carpet, paneling and ceiling tiles share this broad category. It is not a laminate, vinyl or hardwood rate.
The Census category is “Flooring/carpeting/paneling/ceiling tiles” within “Interior Additions and Replacements.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.
Use it beside a written scope
Which surfaces, removal, preparation, trim and installation method are included?
A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.
Start with the material calculator to put measured quantities next to the scope. Then use the matching quote worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
