Your Flooring Questions, Answered Honestly
We believe an informed customer makes the best decisions. Here are the questions Baton Rouge homeowners ask us most.
How much does new flooring cost in Baton Rouge?
The cost of flooring in Baton Rouge varies depending on the material, square footage, and installation complexity. Luxury vinyl plank typically runs $3–$7 per square foot installed; carpet ranges from $3–$9; hardwood and engineered hardwood from $6–$15+. At LaCour's, we offer free in-home estimates and financing options through Service Finance Company, including 12 months interest-free with approved credit, so you can get the flooring you love at a pace that works for your budget.
What is the best flooring for homes in Louisiana's humid climate?
Louisiana's heat and humidity require careful flooring selection. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are our most popular recommendations for wet areas and high-traffic zones because they are 100% waterproof. Engineered hardwood handles humidity better than solid hardwood and is a great choice for main living areas. Carpet works beautifully in bedrooms with proper HVAC. Our team will help you match the right product to each room based on how you live, not just what looks good in a brochure.
How long does flooring installation take?
Most residential flooring projects are completed in one to three days depending on square footage and product type. Carpet is typically the fastest. Hardwood and tile installations may take longer if subfloor prep is needed. Our in-house installation teams work efficiently without cutting corners, and we'll give you a clear timeline before we begin so you can plan accordingly.
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?
Yes. LaCour's offers a Complete Satisfaction Guarantee on all flooring and installation work. In addition to manufacturer warranties on the products themselves, our installation teams stand behind their workmanship. If something isn't right after we've finished, we'll make it right, that's been our commitment to Baton Rouge homeowners since 1969.

Yes. We proudly serve residential customers throughout Greater Baton Rouge and surrounding communities, including Prairieville, Central, and Saint Francisville, generally within 20 miles of our Perkins Road showroom. Call us at (225) 927-4130 to confirm service to your area.
