The Total Cost of Installing Hardwood Floors

Hardwood flooring is one of the best investments you can have for your home. It looks elegant, sophisticated, and timeless. It also gives the feeling of warmth and comfort that no other types of flooring can give. That’s why a professional hardwood flooring installation is worth investing in, for the right cost. But how do you know what’s the right cost? You can do so by being familiar with costs related to installation. The total cost of installing hardwood floors is comprised of the hardwood flooring cost, accessories, other materials cost, labor installation, and other services cost.

Hardwood Flooring Materials

The cost of hardwood flooring materials varies per type, the volume of your order, and the manufacturer. Price usually starts at $4. It can go up to $12 per plank for exotic woods like cypress, mahogany, and walnut. Aside from species, there are also different types of hardwood according to size, color, cut, and finish. Hardwood materials can also be solid hardwood or engineered hardwood.

It is very important to familiarize yourself with the types of hardwood materials because they have different characteristics. These include the appearance and durability. When calculating for the correct volume of materials, it’s always advisable to add 10% more to the total square footage. This will account for the waste brought about by cutting and repair, which should be included in the total cost of installing hardwood floors.

Aside from the hardwood materials, you will also need to buy 5/8-inch plywood for subflooring, sealants, glue, nail, and others depending on the assessment of the installers.

Professional Installation Service

Installation labor cost also varies depending on the service provider. Some professional installers may charge for as low as $2 per square foot, but don’t be easily tempted by the cheapness. You might end up getting a scrappy type of service if you are not too careful. Remember that years of experience do translate to a little higher service charge, but it’s all worth it when you see the quality of the end product.

You also have to take into account the extra costs for other services when computing for the total cost of installing hardwood floors. Pre-measurements are usually complimentary, but moulding, floor preparation, moisture testing, and moving of furniture may have extra fees.

There can also be additional charges for removal of old floors, sub-floor installation, and sub-floor leveling. If you don’t want to be caught off-guard with these extra costs, make sure to confirm all included and excluded services when asking for a quotation. This can be done during the free on-site visitation of technicians. You can ask all the installation-related questions that you have, so can prepare financially before signing the contract for services.
