Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
A reasonable price for labor only, for installing flooring, is typically $2.00–$2.50 per square foot. This does not include prep work, demo, or material costs.
The main cost drivers are the type of hardwood selected (e.g., common vs. exotic), the condition of the existing subfloor which dictates prep work, and the complexity of the room's layout. These significantly impact both material and labor costs.
It's essential to include all prep work in your quote, even if customers don't initially consider it. Clearly itemize costs for things like subfloor leveling, repairs, demo, furniture moving, and door jamb undercutting. Explain to the client why these steps are necessary for a quality installation and avoid unexpected charges during the project.
While some customers ask for an overall price, it's generally best to start with a detailed per-square-foot breakdown for materials and labor. Then, translate this into an overall project cost, ensuring all elements like prep work are included and transparently listed. This allows for clear comparisons and helps customers understand the value.
Pre-finished hardwood typically falls into the basic to mid-range tiers ($2.50–$16 per sq ft) as it requires less on-site labor for finishing. Unfinished hardwood, once installed, needs additional labor for sanding, staining, and sealing, which moves projects towards the mid-range to premium tiers ($6.01–$25 per sq ft) due to the specialized finish work involved.
