This page starts with the current The Colony labor range for vinyl flooring: $1.54 to $1.83 per square foot for installation labor. A typical The Colony home estimate can also be scaled around 1,802 square feet before room-by-room edits. Material purchases are separate; FloorAmigo focuses on installation planning, labor scope, and matching the job to local project conditions.
The biggest changes usually come from measured room size, existing flooring removal, subfloor prep, stairs, transitions, trim, and how many separate areas need work. The Colony has humid months that reach about 71% humidity, summer highs average about 93F, there are about 80.6 days above 90F each year, so spring and fall are usually the easiest seasons for flooring installation while hotter summer periods need more attention to acclimation, storage, and jobsite conditions.

The plank itself is 100% waterproof — water cannot damage the core or wear layer. However, standing water that sits in seams can eventually reach the subfloor, which is typically not waterproof. 'Waterproof floor' means the product, not the installation.
