Is there a rule of thumb for cost to install hardwood flooring?
I'm looking at different per sq ft costs of hardwood flooring. I
wondered if there was a general rule to thumb to estimate the total cost with installation. Double it? Triple it? I live in NH. -Jim |

Double it? Triple it? I live in NH. -Jim Call a couple of flooring contractors in you area and ask for a "ballpark per square foot" estimate. Any numbers we give you are meaningless for your area. Roughly I would GUESS that double the material cost would get you somewhere in the general area. There is one heck of a lot of hard labor involved. The last time I checked, a few years back, the local price was $54 sq yard (54/9= $6 square foot) installed over a clean dry ready to nail subfloor. I doubt that price is still valid even here. Most contractors are going to want to quote materials and labor. Finding someone to install wood you have purchased will cost extra. Colbyt |
