leftontheinside We got our First Crush installed a few weeks ago, and there are saw marks. Some of our samples made them look very busy, and others didn't have them at all. We went through a local flooring store. The saw marks are definitely there, but not noticeable when looking at the floor as a whole (I looked at a lot of pictures because the saw marks were almost a deal breaker). We love the floors. They are beautiful! HU-751872317 We got a custom taupe stain made that coordinates well with the floor. If you still need something, I can get the formula.

The labour is going to be the biggest variant. Like real estate, it is all Location, Location, Location. What you pay in New Mexico is going to be VERY different then what you pay in New York. Access to cheap labour AND cheap housing (ie. the guy who you are paying has very low rent/mortgage costs) dictate LOW labour costs. In my neck of the woods (Hot Canadian Housing Market + High Canadian Minimum wage) the average cost of vinyl install (floating) is $3/sf. Laminate is still around $2.50/sf. The cost of vinyl for Canada is around $4 - $7/sf for medium level product. The $8/sf and higher is the best quality the market offers. Either way, you cannot find medium level (or higher) products at a Big Box store. Let us know where (roughly) you live and what stores/materials are you shopping.

You've ordered LVP = vinyl. Splinters should not ben an issue. Splinters traditionally come from wood. Scrapes are odd things to happen. It implies you dragged a refrigerator across the floor. the only thing that survives that (aesthetically...all floors will 'survive' you just won't be happy with the look) is porcelain tile. Can you be more specific with your concerns?
