How much would you want to leave your home, travel to someone else's home, take your tools out of your vehicle, carry the tools into the home, work for a few hours, clean up and make sure the job is done right so that you don't have to be called back, and potentially lose another job because you spent half a day doing a small job?
That sounds reasonable. I received one quote of $525 today. I felt that was way too high for such a small area and it being linoleum (and not hard wood or tile.)
IMO I would not contract a handyman to install linoleum. It's not a common material used in the last 15-20 years. If your quote was including material I would jump on it as long as you trust your installer.
Maybe it's sheet vinyl. I know linoleum has come a long way. It's a roll of vinyl-feeling material that looks like wood. Being that it is such a small area, I decided that would be the best and cost-effective option.

My guess would be about 150 - 200.
Comments?
My liability, workers comp, commercial auto insurance combined are about $200 per day, not including other overhead.
The quote of $525 if the guy is licensed and insured is very reasonable.

That would most likely be sheet vinyl not Linoleum which is a different product to install. I believe the other poster actually thought it was the old school product.
Have you asked Lowes/Home Depot for a rough estimate to install a 10x10 room just so you can get an idea?
I will be honest and say I have never even heard of sheet vinyl. In 20+ years I have never seen it used on a job. I was always under the impression that only the elderly use such a product. My advice still stands. Use someone that does this application regularly.
