Vinyl Flooring Removal Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction demolition unit cost for the removal of lineoleum, vinyl sheet flooring and similar flooring materials.

Unit Size

One square foot of flooring area.

Labor Costs

We figure an unskilled worker can remove about 75 square feet of flooring per hour.

This price assumes "average" difficulty. Some combinations of subfloor and flooring adhesives can make the flooring removal extremely difficult.

Material Costs

We figure one wrecking bar per 270 square feet of flooring removal. This cost covers lost and damaged tools, plus incidentals such as gloves and dust masks.

Suggested Quantity

This unit cost uses the calculated flooring demolition area. You'll probably need to fill in actual areas that have this type of flooring, since most projects will probably have a mixture of flooring types.

Source of Construction Pricing

We averaged the time taken from several kitchen and bath remodeling projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
