Installation Cost of Hardwood floors
Comments (10)km, just make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Some product comes in variable lengths such as 2'-12' and some are 'strips' mainly just 2'. The strips being a lower cost..sometimes significantly. Just my 2 cents, but I would not sign a contract stating you have to use the builder's suppliers. We sourced many of our own products from plumbing to windows to floors. Our builder had zero problem with it. Sure, that is money lost to him, but it is very competitive out there. One builder we automatically put in the no file after he said we had to purchase our plumbing fixtures thru him. I would shop around. I found the flooring places that also sold carpet were the most expensive. Those with showrooms were more expensive. We found out where local flooring installers shopped and purchased directly thru that warehouse. We also purchased flooring online via 'web specials'. If you still have some time, I would find some online stores that offer web specials and check daily. We snatched up some beautiful reclaimed hardwood this way at a large discount. There is nothing wrong with the product. They are usually over-runs or canceled orders or flooring that was sitting in inventory too long and the company just wants to move it....See MoreCost for professional to install hardwood floor

Comments (3)People seem to respect hardwood more as "the real deal" and if installed correctly for slightly more cost, why not? A laminate can dull fast in high traffic. Even later carpet a buyer is disappointed to see a laminate below that. I'd mostly say from generations of home builders the hardwoods never wore out as fast as any modern laminates....See MoreAre these prices fair? Hardwood floors install/finish/refinish
Comments (1)Sounds fair to me. My parents had their floors refinished 20 years ago, stripped and re-coated and it was 2,000. But like the above mentioned, make sure they are reputable ....See MoreUser
