5,000 square feet in one day is supposed to be impossible, but I pulled it off on a church basement job last Tuesday
Had a crew of three and a good layout, and we finished by 3 PM with zero callbacks, so I guess all those years of hearing 'that pace isn't realistic' were just covering for slower installers, right?

Three guys did 5,000 feet in a church basement in one day?

Yeah that quote about other installers covering for themselves hits home. I've seen guys stretch a 2,000 foot floor job into three days just to make it look like they're thorough. It's not about the square footage being impossible, it's about having a system and actually moving instead of standing around talking. Church basements are usually pretty straightforward with open layouts and minimal obstacles, so 5k in a day with three people sounds doable if everyone knows their role. I hate when people act like speed equals cutting corners when really it just means you're not wasting time.

Had a helper ask me once if I was trying to set a world record for fastest flooring. I told him no, I just wanted to get home before my wife realized I left the garage door open again.
