Flooring Installation in Muntinlupa

It depends mostly on the material. Laminate and vinyl (LVP/LVT) are the cheapest to buy and fastest to fit; engineered wood costs roughly double; solid hardwood and premium tile cost the most. As a rule of thumb labour is 30-50% of the total, with materials, underlay, trims and subfloor prep making up the rest. Get quotes priced per square metre or square foot so you can compare like for like.

Solid hardwood can usually be sanded and refinished 2-3 times over its life, at a fraction of replacement cost. Engineered wood can typically take one light sanding if the top layer is thick enough. Replace when boards are cupped or rotten from water damage, or the wear layer is too thin to sand.

Some do for a per-room fee, some expect empty rooms. Clarify before booking: who moves beds, wardrobes and appliances, and who disconnects things like washing machines. Emptying rooms yourself is one of the easiest ways to cut the labour bill.

A single room in click-lock laminate or vinyl is typically done in a day. A whole apartment or house takes 2-5 days depending on area, furniture moving, and how much old flooring must come out. Add a day or more if the subfloor needs levelling compound, and 2-3 days of acclimatisation before wood products are laid.

Installed vinyl plank typically runs ₱600-₱1,800 per m² including materials, laminate ₱900-₱2,600 per m². Labour-only rates are commonly ₱150-₱500 per m², which is why many homeowners buy materials themselves.

Usually yes — vinyl is waterproof, which matters in a humid, typhoon-prone climate and for ground-floor slabs. Laminate works well in air-conditioned condo units but swells if flooding or leaks reach it.
