Updated October 2026
At Pisos Pro Medellín we install and repair floors for homes, offices and shops in Medellín, the Aburrá Valley and Eastern Antioquia. This page brings together the ranges we use when quoting in 2026, with material and labor shown separately.
The figures come from more than 900 jobs and more than 15 years devoted only to flooring. They are honest references for planning your budget; the exact price for your space is set after the site visit.
Each table shows up to three values per m²: material, labor and the installed total. The total is not the exact sum of the range ends, because it includes supplies such as adhesives, underlayment foam, bases and cutting waste.
For continuous systems (microcement, epoxy, concrete) we give only the total, because material and application are sold as one package. All prices are in Colombian pesos (COP), not US dollars, and were updated in October 2026.
Within each range, your price moves with these factors:
These are the most requested floors in Medellín because they install quickly, often over the existing tile and without debris.
| Floor | Material per m² | Labor per m² | Installed total per m² | What makes it pricier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laminate AC4/AC5, 8 to 12 mm | $45,000 to $95,000 | $16,000 to $26,000 | $65,000 to $120,000 | AC5, 12 mm, water-resistant core |
| SPC, 4 to 6.5 mm | $65,000 to $140,000 | $18,000 to $28,000 | $85,000 to $170,000 | 6.5 mm, thick wear layer |
| Click vinyl (LVP) | $60,000 to $120,000 | $18,000 to $28,000 | $80,000 to $150,000 | Wear layer |
| Glue-down vinyl (LVT) | $45,000 to $95,000 | $20,000 to $32,000 | $70,000 to $130,000 | Self-leveling base beforehand |
| WPC | $95,000 to $180,000 | $20,000 to $30,000 | $120,000 to $220,000 | Thickness and density |
Laminate labor (COP $16,000 to $26,000 per m²) covers the underlayment foam, floating installation and the perimeter expansion gap. AC3 only works in bedrooms; for living rooms and offices we recommend AC4 or AC5 with our laminate flooring installation.
SPC costs more than laminate because its stone and PVC core does not swell with water. What many people search for as "PVC laminate flooring" is actually vinyl or SPC flooring.
Indoor WPC is the most comfortable rigid floor underfoot and the most expensive in the group. Outdoor WPC decks need their own joist frame and fasteners, so they are not in this table and are quoted after measuring.
With natural wood, the price depends mostly on the species, the board width and the finish (lacquered on site or prefinished at the factory). For solid hardwood, sanding and lacquering are included in the labor.
| Material | Material per m² | Labor per m² | Installed total per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineered hardwood | $140,000 to $320,000 | $40,000 to $65,000 | $180,000 to $380,000 |
| Colombian solid hardwood | $150,000 to $360,000 | $60,000 to $95,000 | $220,000 to $450,000 |
| Herringbone and parquet | Depends on species | $70,000 to $120,000 | $250,000 to $550,000 |
| Bamboo | $120,000 to $240,000 | $35,000 to $55,000 | $160,000 to $300,000 |
| Cork | $110,000 to $220,000 | $35,000 to $55,000 | $150,000 to $280,000 |
| Wood staircase | $350,000 to $900,000 per step | ||
| Handrail | $250,000 to $700,000 per linear meter |
With stone and ceramic floors, labor weighs more because each piece is set, leveled and grouted by hand. Large-format tile (from 60 x 120 cm) requires back-buttering, tile leveling systems and more people to move each piece.
| Material | Material per m² | Labor per m² | Installed total per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porcelain and ceramic tile, standard format | $40,000 to $180,000 | $35,000 to $60,000 | $80,000 to $260,000 |
| Large-format porcelain tile | Depends on product | $60,000 to $90,000 | Depends on the material chosen |
| Natural stone and marble | $180,000 to $600,000 | $70,000 to $120,000 | $250,000 to $700,000 |
| Terrazzo (granito) poured on site | System price | System price | $180,000 to $350,000 |
| Terrazzo (granito) or marble polishing and crystallizing | Not applicable | Not applicable | $25,000 to $45,000 |
Continuous floors are quoted as a complete system: preparation, coats, sealers and curing. See how each coat is applied on microcement in Medellín.
| System | Installed total per m² | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Microcement (complete system) | $140,000 to $260,000 | Living rooms, bathrooms and shops without joints |
| Self-leveling epoxy | $90,000 to $180,000 | Clinics, laboratories, light industry |
| Roller-applied epoxy coating | $45,000 to $90,000 | Garages, warehouses, utility rooms |
| Polished concrete | $70,000 to $150,000 | Shops, offices, industrial-style houses |
| New concrete slab or floor | $120,000 to $220,000 | Extensions, patios, warehouses |
| Sports or gym flooring | $120,000 to $350,000 | Gyms and courts |
| Rubber (rolls or tiles) | $90,000 to $220,000 | Weight areas |
| Carpet (broadloom or tiles) | $55,000 to $180,000 | Offices and bedrooms |
Restoring usually costs a fraction of replacing the floor. Scratched wood with a worn finish can be brought back with hardwood sanding and refinishing for COP $45,000 to $85,000 per m², compared with $220,000 or more for new solid hardwood.
| Job | Reference price |
|---|---|
| Hardwood sanding and lacquering | $45,000 to $85,000 per m² |
| Terrazzo (granito) or marble polishing and crystallizing | $25,000 to $45,000 per m² |
| Leveling with self-leveling compound | $35,000 to $75,000 per m² |
| Moisture barrier (membrane or sealer) | $25,000 to $70,000 per m² (epoxy $60,000 to $120,000) |
| Spot repair of laminate or SPC | From $180,000 per visit and repair |
| Removing old ceramic tile flooring | $12,000 to $25,000 per m² |
| Installed baseboards | $12,000 to $30,000 per linear meter |
| Electric radiant floor heating (system only) | $250,000 to $450,000 per m² |
A cheap quote is sometimes cheap because it leaves out what shows up on the day of the job. Ask for these items to be put in writing.
Lifting ceramic tile leaves roughly one metric ton of debris for every 30 to 40 m². We bag it, bring it down and take it to an authorized disposal site, all included in our quote.
A 70 m² apartment needs 40 to 60 linear meters of baseboard (zócalo), plus transition strips at the doorways. That is COP $480,000 to $1,800,000 that some quotes leave out.
For a straight lay, buy 5% to 10% extra; for diagonal or herringbone, 10% to 15%. Without that margin, you will run short of pieces from the same batch.
Carrying boxes of porcelain tile up the stairs takes hours of labor. It is quoted separately, and only when it applies.
If building management (administración) only allows noise in short time slots, the job takes more days.
Unevenness or high moisture calls for self-leveling compound or a barrier, and we measure both during the site visit.
Put the quotes side by side and check that they answer the same questions. If one leaves something unspecified, ask before deciding on price.
Assumptions: 70 m² of old ceramic tile in good condition, 50 linear meters of baseboard and a subfloor (contrapiso) without major unevenness. Rigid floors and engineered hardwood float over the tile; porcelain tile requires removing it.
| Material | Installed floor (70 m²) | Baseboards (50 m) | Ceramic tile removal | Estimated total | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laminate AC4/AC5 | $4,550,000 to $8,400,000 | $600,000 to $1,500,000 | Not applicable | $5,150,000 to $9,900,000 | 2 to 4 days |
| SPC | $5,950,000 to $11,900,000 | $600,000 to $1,500,000 | Not applicable | $6,550,000 to $13,400,000 | 2 to 4 days |
| Porcelain tile | $5,600,000 to $18,200,000 | $600,000 to $1,500,000 | $840,000 to $1,750,000 | $7,040,000 to $21,450,000 | 5 to 8 days |
| Engineered hardwood | $12,600,000 to $26,600,000 | $600,000 to $1,500,000 | Not applicable | $13,200,000 to $28,100,000 | 3 to 5 days |
If the subfloor needs self-leveling compound, add COP $35,000 to $75,000 per m² over the affected area.
Installed, laminate usually costs less: COP $65,000 to $120,000 per m² versus $80,000 to $260,000 for porcelain and ceramic tile. It also goes over the existing tile, so you save on removal and several days of work.
Tile wins in bathrooms, wet areas and high-traffic spaces, where laminate is not the right choice.
In this guide, the "installed total" column includes it; the labor column does not. In our quotes each item has its own line: material, labor, baseboards, transitions and removal.
That way you can compare against other proposals or against the store price of the material.
No. The site visit and measurement are free in the Aburrá Valley and the nearby Oriente, and are scheduled within 24 to 72 hours. The written quote arrives 24 to 48 hours after the visit.
With real measurements and a moisture test, the range in this guide becomes a firm figure in writing. Message us on WhatsApp or fill in the form and we will schedule the visit.
