What is the average pricing for installation of hardwood floors (labour
cost
only) in Ottawa, Canada?

Thanks.

No idea about pricing in Canada, but here in Atlanta, a good price for
installing and finishing a solid oak floor is ~$6.25/sf. Unless you find a
real deal, you won't same much money going the DIY route on prefinished
solid flooring (I think finishing unfinished floors is more than most
amateurs want to tackle). Most of the local big box operations sell solid
prefinished wood for $5-$6/sf, then you have to figure in waste, tool
rental, and time. If you want someone else to install it, the cost will be
~$1 to $1.50/sf, depending on installation method. If you're talking
engineered floors or laminates, you can buy that material for $2-$4/sf, and
could get someone to install it for $1 - $1.50.
