How Much Does New Flooring Cost in Denton, TX? (2026 Pricing Guide)

What Will New Floors Actually Cost You in North Texas?

If you're budgeting for new flooring in your Denton, Keller, or Frisco home, you've probably already noticed that online price estimates are all over the map — and usually not very helpful for understanding what you'll actually pay. Material costs vary by product. Installation costs vary by type of floor and condition of your subfloor. And the total investment for a whole-home project is very different from a single room refresh.

At Simmons Floor Covering, we believe in transparent pricing — which is why we're giving you a detailed, honest breakdown of what flooring actually costs in the North Texas market in 2026. No bait-and-switch pricing. No hidden fees. Just real numbers from a flooring company that's been serving Denton County for over 36 years.

Flooring Cost by Type — Material + Installation

The following ranges reflect installed costs (material plus professional installation) in the Denton, TX area. These are realistic ranges — not the absolute cheapest entry-level options, and not ultra-luxury outliers.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

LVP is currently the most popular flooring choice in North Texas homes, and for good reason — it delivers excellent performance and visual appeal at a highly competitive price point.

  • Entry-level LVP: $3.50–$5.50 per square foot installed. Thinner wear layer, fewer style options, suitable for low-traffic areas or rental properties.
  • Mid-range LVP (most popular): $5.50–$9.00 per square foot installed. 12–20 mil wear layer, realistic wood appearance, waterproof core. This is the sweet spot for most Denton homeowners.
  • Premium LVP: $9.00–$14.00+ per square foot installed. 20+ mil wear layer, superior acoustic properties, thicker planks, top-tier visual realism. Brands like COREtec Plus and Karndean Designflooring fall here.

Carpet

Carpet remains the most affordable flooring option for bedrooms and living areas, and modern carpet technology has dramatically improved durability and stain resistance.

  • Entry-level carpet: $2.50–$4.00 per square foot installed. Basic cut pile, suitable for low-traffic bedrooms.
  • Mid-range carpet (most popular): $4.00–$7.00 per square foot installed. Good density, stain treatment, reasonable durability. Our Infinity Nylon and Pet Defense lines fall in this range.
  • Premium carpet: $7.00–$12.00+ per square foot installed. High-density nylon, superior softness, advanced stain and moisture resistance. Our exclusive Alexander Smith and American Showcase collections.

Hardwood Flooring

  • Engineered hardwood: $7.00–$14.00 per square foot installed. Most popular hardwood option for Texas slab construction. Real wood veneer over stable core.
  • Solid hardwood: $10.00–$20.00+ per square foot installed. Best for wood-framed subfloors. Premium pricing for premium performance and refinishability.

Tile and Stone

  • Ceramic tile: $5.00–$9.00 per square foot installed. Durable and water-resistant, wide variety of styles.
  • Porcelain tile: $7.00–$14.00 per square foot installed. Denser and harder than ceramic, recommended for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic areas.
  • Large-format porcelain (24x24+): $10.00–$20.00+ per square foot installed. Additional labor involved in large-format installation, but the clean, modern result is increasingly popular in Denton area homes.

Laminate

  • Mid-range laminate: $4.00–$7.00 per square foot installed. Good visual appearance, improved moisture resistance in modern products. Not recommended for bathrooms or heavy moisture exposure.
  • Premium laminate: $7.00–$11.00 per square foot installed. Superior thickness, AC4 or AC5 wear rating, enhanced acoustic underlayment.

What Affects Your Final Flooring Price?

Beyond the base material cost, several factors influence your final project total:

  • Square footage: Larger projects benefit from reduced per-square-foot pricing on both material and installation in many cases.
  • Subfloor condition: Old adhesive removal, leveling compounds, or subfloor repairs add cost. We identify these issues during our free measure and build them into your estimate — no surprises.
  • Furniture moving: Most installations require rooms to be cleared. We can coordinate furniture moving services if needed.
  • Demo and disposal: Removing existing flooring adds to the project cost. Simmons handles full demo and haul-away so you don't have to.
  • Stair installation: Stairs are priced separately and typically run $30–$60 per step depending on material and configuration.
  • Transitions and trim: Threshold transitions, reducers, and matching base molding are typically additional and should be included in your complete estimate.
