How Much Does Hardwood Flooring Installation Cost?<\/h2>\n

Hardwood flooring installation costs on average $6.75 per square foot<\/strong> for basic materials and installation. <\/strong>However, this doesn\u2019t include:<\/strong> site preparation, sub-flooring fixes, baseboard removal and jogs in the room. Expect to pay an additional fee of $1-3.00 per square ft<\/strong>. for additional work.<\/p>\n

Fewer flooring options offer the versatility and longevity of wood, and the good news is \u2014 it\u2019s more affordable than ever. Priced from $6.75 to $23<\/strong> per square foot installed, both traditional and engineered hardwood flooring come in options for every budget range. Nationwide, the average cost to install 1000 square feet<\/strong> of hardwood floors to your home is about $8750<\/strong>, including labor and materials \u2014 each contributes 50% of the total cost.<\/p>\n

Traditional HardWood Flooring Costs<\/h3>\n

Hardwood flooring comes in two distinct varieties \u2014 solid, or traditional, and engineered. What\u2019s the difference in construction, price and installation cost?<\/p>\n

Traditional hardwood planks are all wood. They\u2019re exceptionally durable and with proper care can last a century or more. Because traditional wood is vulnerable to moisture damage, however, it\u2019s not suitable to install below ground or in areas of your home where humidity is high like a bathroom or kitchen. Exposing traditional hardwood to water or steam can cause it to swell, buckle or grow mold.<\/p>\n

Solid Hardwood flooring cost range from $2\u2013$16 per square foot<\/strong> \u2014 most homeowners opt to spend spend between $8 and $12<\/strong> for a mid-grade product. Prices vary significantly by wood type and quality. From the lowest to highest, expect to pay $1350 and $11,500<\/strong> for wood flooring depending on your choices.<\/p>\n

Traditional Hardwood Types<\/h2>\n

Hardwood flooring cost is loosely divided into three categories: Low, mid and high<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low-priced choices are typically softwoods like pine. Costs average $2-$6<\/strong> per square foot, but its affordability doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s low-quality. It simply commands a lower price because it grows fast, it\u2019s readily available, and it requires less processing before heading to market.<\/p>\n

Soft flooring is prone to dents and scratches, so for homeowners with pets and kids, it may not be the best choice. Still, others believe the lived-in look it develops over time adds to its aesthetic appeal.<\/p>\n

Mid-priced hardwood flooring is the most popular choice. Varieties include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wood Flooring Type<\/strong><\/th>\nFlooring cost Per Sq. Ft.
<\/br> <\/strong><\/th>\n		Labor cost Per Sq. Ft.
<\/br> <\/strong>2\u2033 1\/4 plank width.<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Oak<\/strong><\/td>\n$2.50 \u2013 $6.50<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Maple<\/strong><\/td>\n$4.50 \u2013 $9.25<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hickory<\/strong><\/td>\n$3.75 \u2013 $7.35<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cherry<\/strong><\/td>\n$3.50 \u2013 $7.50<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Teak<\/strong><\/td>\n$3.25 \u2013 $4.75<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ash<\/strong><\/td>\n$2.75 \u2013 $4.25<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bamboo<\/strong><\/td>\n$4.25 \u2013 $7.50<\/td>\n$2 \u2013 $4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Harder than pine, mid-priced planks are damage-resistant. At $6 \u2013 $10<\/strong> per square foot, they\u2019re an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications from kitchens to high-traffic entryways.<\/p>\n

High-priced hardwoods are less common and run $10 per square foot or more<\/strong>. Many are imported, so the cost of transportation adds to the price. Choices like mahogany and walnut are famous for their beauty and sustainability, while exotic species such as kempas, cypress and tigerwood are valued for their rarity.<\/p>\n

Traditional Hardwood Quality<\/h2>\n

Hardwood is natural \u2014 its grain and character marks define both its look and quality.
<\/br> Character marks include:<\/p>\n

Knots<\/h3>\n

Knots are dense, round spots that form in tree where branches meet the trunk. \u201cSound\u201d knots are attractive and smooth. The knots in utility hardwood may have chunks of wood missing that affect the integrity of the flooring.<\/p>\n

Wormholes<\/h3>\n

Worms leave marks as they work their way through trees. These can look like holes or tunnels. In floor grade lumber, they should be no more than 1\/4-inch wide.<\/p>\n

Streaks<\/h3>\n

Streaks are bands of color caused by mineral and sap deposits within tree rings. They affect only the look of wood, not it\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n

Most hardwood flooring in the United States is graded according to standards developed by the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association (NOFMA) and promoted by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA).Grading is similar to that used for all hardwood lumber, regardless of its purpose, but more emphasis is placed on appearance versus other quality factors such as hardness.<\/p>\n

Hardwood Floor Grades include:<\/h2>\n

Cabin Grade<\/h3>\n

Cabin grade flooring is inexpensive but sturdy. It\u2019s ideal for applications where the durability of hardwood is desirable, but a finished look isn\u2019t required. Cabin grade flooring is the most rustic in appearance with deep knots, streaks and wormholes. Bundled lots of this so-called \u201cutility\u201d flooring may contain many unusable boards, so the proportion of waste is higher. Consider cabin grade flooring for playrooms or workshops.<\/p>\n

Clear Grade<\/h3>\n

Taken from the heartwood of the tree, Clear Grade wood is free of heavy character marks, and the grain and color are consistent from board to board. Clear grade flooring is costly, but it creates a smooth, uniform look for a living area or library. Engineered wood manufacturers use it for veneers.<\/p>\n

Select<\/h3>\n

Like Clear Grade, Select Grade planks are free of most imperfections. Cut from both heartwood and sapwood, expect slightly more variation in grain and color. Although it\u2019s easier to mill than Clear Grade, Select Grade wood still accounts for less than 15% of a given tree, so it\u2019s typically bundled with clear grade and sold to make veneers.<\/p>\n

#1 Common<\/h3>\n

Common Grade wood is the most popular for flooring for both it\u2019s character and price. Planks rated #1 have more character than Clear and Select Grades but without the knots and wormholes found in Cabin Grade. For homeowners who want an organic yet finished look, #1 Common Grade is ideal.<\/p>\n

#2 Common<\/h3>\n

Wood rated #2 Common Grade is slightly more rustic than #1 Common \u2014 it retains much of the quality of tree from which it came. Variations depend on the type of wood, but knots and streaks are common. It\u2019s the perfect choice for country d\u00e9cor, and it\u2019s ideal for families \u2014 dings and scratches fade away against its irregular pattern.<\/p>\n

Traditional Hardwood Flooring Installation Costs<\/h2>\n

The average labor cost for installing hardwood flooring is $2 \u2013 $5 per square foot<\/strong>, in addition to the price of materials. Fees vary based on local labor rates and the complexity of the job.<\/p>\n

\n

Installing a hardwood floor requires:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Removing your current flooring<\/li>\n
  • Installing a plywood substrate if one doesn\u2019t exist<\/li>\n
  • Dry fitting different boards to blend colors and grain<\/li>\n
  • Installing trim and thresholds where your new flooring meets a door<\/li>\n
  • Sanding and finishing unfinished hardwood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    What can make wood flooring installation more expensive?<\/h3>\n

    Installing a hardwood floor is straightforward, but stairs add to the cost because they require more cuts and nearly twice as much installation time as floors. Expect to pay $100 \u2013 $200 per step<\/strong> or $1000 for an average staircase.<\/p>\n

    Additional costs may include fees for moving large furniture, disposal of old flooring and floor finishing.<\/p>\n

    Engineered Wood Flooring Costs<\/h2>\n

    Engineered wood planks are constructed with a multi-layer core topped with a thin layer of veneer. Core layers are made of durable but inexpensive wood while the top is made from high-grade lumber. The result is a product that looks as good as high-end traditional hardwood flooring but with a twist \u2014 it can be installed almost anywhere because it\u2019s heat-, cold- and moisture-resistant.<\/p>\n

    The number of times engineered wood can be refinished correlates to the thickness of the veneer \u2013 the thicker it is, the more often it can be done. Better engineered woods can be refinished up to 10 times \u2014 with regular care, that\u2019s more than a lifetime for some homeowners.<\/p>\n

    Engineered Wood Flooring Types<\/h3>\n

    Engineered wood can be topped with virtually any veneer \u2014 the sky\u2019s the limit. Expect to find as many choices as with traditional planks, and because select high-end veneers cost less than comparable solid wood boards, luxury woods may more affordable.
    <\/br> Popular choices include:<\/p>\n

    Maple<\/h3>\n

    colors range from soft ivory to vibrant red, and the look is uniform. Prices run $9 \u2013$12<\/strong> per square foot.<\/p>\n

    White Ash<\/h3>\n

    colors vary from light gray to warm blonde with variations in grain but few knots or holes. White Ash is tougher to engineer, and that\u2019s reflected in the price of $12\u2013$14<\/strong> per square foot \u2014 that\u2019s 25% more than all-wood White Ash planks.<\/p>\n

    Brazilian Cherry<\/h3>\n

    colors are a blend of reds and browns with bold streaks. At $3 \u2013 $6<\/strong> per square foot, it\u2019s beautiful and economical.<\/p>\n

    Heart Pine<\/h3>\n

    valued for its vintage charm, heart pine has an antique look. Colors range from almond to red with knots, and it\u2019s priced at $7\u2013 $10<\/strong> per square foot.<\/p>\n

    Engineered Wood Flooring Quality<\/h2>\n

    Like traditional hardwood, engineered flooring is roughly grouped into one of three quality levels.<\/p>\n

    Low-priced<\/strong> options feature three inner layers with surface veneers measuring 1\/16 \u20131\/12-inch thick<\/strong>. Depending on the type and quality of wood used for the veneer, prices range between $3 \u2013 $6<\/strong> per square foot. Brazilian Cherry and Acacia are popular selections.<\/p>\n

    Mid-priced<\/strong> choices have a five-layer core with a slightly thicker veneer. Prices range from $5 \u2013 $10<\/strong> per square foot with oak and maple being top choices.<\/p>\n

    High-end<\/strong> options are top of the line with six or more layers and quality veneers as thick as 1\/6-inch. Costs range from $8 to $15<\/strong> per square foot for choices such as ash, and select species of walnut and mahogany.<\/p>\n

    Engineered Wood Flooring Installation Cost<\/h2>\n

    Installation fees are comparable for both traditional and engineered wood \u2014 $2 \u2013 $3<\/strong> per square foot because, in most cases, the process is the same. However, engineered flooring is factory finished and uniform \u2014 the quality control is high, and less time must be spent dry-fitting boards \u2014 cutting down on labor hours.<\/p>\n

    Hardwood and Engineered Wood Finishes<\/h3>\n

    Traditional hardwood and engineered wood are similar in most ways, including material and installation costs, but for some homeowners, the choice could come down to finish.
    <\/br> Hardwood floors come both finished and unfinished. Finished flooring comes pre-stained and covered with a protective polyurethane topcoat \u2014 just install it and go.<\/p>\n

    Unfinished wood is less expensive, so it\u2019s an attractive option if you\u2019re on a budget or if you have an old-world finish in mind.<\/p>\n

    A polyurethane is harder than oil, so it\u2019s more resistant to scuffs and stains. Oil, however, offers a more natural look that\u2019s easy to maintain. A quick coat over nicks and scratches makes them disappear \u2013 unlike polyurethane, there\u2019s no sanding or buffing required.<\/p>\n

    All engineered wood flooring comes pre-finished, but like tile and vinyl flooring, the choice of finish is yours. Choose from matte, semi-gloss or gloss.<\/p>\n

    Hardwood Floor Costs vs. Other Materials<\/h2>\n

    Wood is not the least expensive flooring, but it\u2019s cost-competitive, and it\u2019s among the best long-term values.<\/p>\n

    Compared to wood flooring at $8750<\/strong>, consider the average prices for installing 1000 square feet of alternative materials:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Carpet<\/strong> \u2014 $900 \u2013 $2600<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It\u2019s inexpensive, warm and quiet, but it requires more maintenance and has a shorter lifespan.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Tile<\/strong> \u2014 $3250 \u2013 $4100<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Tile is durable and water-resistant, but it\u2019s loud to walk on and feels cold underfoot.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Vinyl<\/strong> \u2014 $790 \u2013 $2900<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Vinyl is warmer and easy to clean, but it lacks the multi-dimensional depth and longevity of wood.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Wood Laminate<\/strong> \u2014 $1500 \u2013 $3800<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Wood laminate flooring is durable, easy to install, and it comes in as many color choices as hardwood, but the lifespan is limited to about 30 years, and it can\u2019t be refinished.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Bamboo<\/strong> \u2014 $870 \u2013 $1800<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Bamboo looks like a wood floor, and it\u2019s popular among millennial homebuyers for its sustainability, but it delicate compared to hardwood and scratches easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

              How to Save Money on Your Hardwood Flooring Project<\/h2>\n

              Wood floors are challenging to install, so it\u2019s a job best left to professionals. But for the budget-minded, there are ways to save.<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Avoid furniture moving fees by doing it yourself.<\/li>\n
              • Save on both labor and materials by choosing unfinished flooring and add the topcoat yourself.<\/li>\n
              • Avoid \u201cbargain\u201d lots of irregular wood \u2014 the waste can be significant, offsetting any savings.<\/li>\n
              • Shop around online and at local discount flooring stores to get the most competitive pricing for your budget. Pick it up yourself or ask for free delivery.<\/li>\n
              • You\u2019ll save on labor and disposal fees by removing and disposing of your old flooring. Homeowners can use local landfills for free \u2014 contractors have to pay by the ton.<\/li>\n
              • Floor tile in homes built before 1980 could contain asbestos. A contractor can test flooring for you and recommend remediation services if necessary.<\/li>\n
              • et at least 3-5 estimates before hiring a Wood Flooring contractor \u2014 estimates are typically free, unless it\u2019s a service call for a repair.<\/li>\n
              • Expect the Wood Flooring prices to fluctuate between various companies \u2013 each and every company have different operation expenses and over-head.<\/li>\n
              • Try to get prices in late Fall, early winter \u2013 you should expect aggressive pricing discounts by waiting for a contractor\u2019s down season.<\/li>\n
              • Try to budget and additional 7-15% more on top of what our calculator gives out \u2013 I.e; difficult configurations, patterns, etc. The additional complexity of your Walls and sub-flooring, trim work will add to the Hardwood Flooring cost.<\/li>\n
              • Visit every supply house that sell your particular brand of Wood Flooring and try to negotiate a better price with each supplier \u2013 I save on average 20%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Final Thoughts<\/h4>\n

                Hardwood floors are not only beautiful, but they\u2019re also easy to maintain, and they can add up to 2.5% to the value of your home. It\u2019s a worthwhile long-term investment.<\/p>\n
