Is $5,663 too much to install 785 sq. ft of laminate flooring – incl. all demolition and new transitions?

Got a quote to install Shaw Natural Values laminate throughout my entire first floor. They will remove all existing carpet in the living and dining rooms, vinyl in the kitchen, and hardwood in the foyer. They will also handle moving all furniture and appliances and price includes underlayment and transitions. Basically, it comes out to a little over /sq ft for the installation.

Nope that is a fair price to do all that rip out. Put in all the laminate and the nosings and such.. I m guessing that the laminate is in the 3/4 dollar a s/f ft range and the labor is around 2$ a s/f. This puts you at 5/6 $ a s/f for the laminate and labor itself. That leaves approx a 1$ a s/f for the rip out of all that stuff. It s in the ball park of the going rate. Unless the laminate is a lot cheaper, its a fair price.I didn t even figure in the under layment at 25/30$ a roll and you ll need 8 rolls.And you say all transitions pcs.. If that includes new or even replaceing shoe molding, it s looks better all the time.. I would get a 2nd quote but only on a laminate of the same price.. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar.. GL

All depends on the quality of the laminate.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
