Our builders at Model ReModel 2022 are in the final stretch for completion of their 850-square-foot in-law suite addition in Hyattsville, Md., which means finishing the slab-on-grade concrete floors.
"To stay within budget, high-performance builders often have to find creative ways to fund the necessary sustainability upgrades in the envelope, mechanicals, and renewable energy," says Nicole Tysvaer, CEO of Symbi Homes. "In this case, we saved thousands of dollars by finishing the concrete floors, rather than installing hardwood or luxury vinyl tile."
Costs came out to about $4.50 per square foot for finished concrete compared to $7.50 for LVT installed and $10 to $12 per square foot for wood floors to be installed, sanded, and stained.
