what is the cost to replace a vinyl kitchen floor with wood flooring?
We live in a Ryan home that is about 5 years old. We want to replace the vinyl kitchen floor in the kitchen with hard wood flooring that matches the existing hard wood in the foyer.

Pergo flooring will go right over the vinyl. It would run about $3.50 a sq. ft.
Flooring material is charged on a per square foot basis.
Manufactured floors, like Pergo, aren’t really wood at all, but they are fairly cheap at $3-4/sq.ft. and simple enough to install you can do it yourself in about a day. You can even lay it on top of the vinyl if you want.
Real hardwood flooring will be more expensive, of course, but generally in the range of $7-20 sq. ft. (and that sometimes includes installation.)
For best results, see if you can contact the company that built the house to get information about the exact type of flooring used in your foyer. It’s best if you buy your floor from the same company to minimize the difference in colors. (even so, flooring from real wood is going to vary greatly in color from plank to plank.)
