What Changes the Cost of a Flooring Project?
Flooring project costs depend on the square footage, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing floor or subfloor.
A clean hardwood installation will usually cost less than a project that needs old flooring removed, subfloor prep, leveling, floor repairs, or premium wide-plank materials. Refinishing also depends on the condition of the wood, since light wear is very different from deep scratches, stains, or repair needs.
For the most accurate estimate, we will need to review your room measurements, photos, material preferences, floor condition, and any prep or removal work needed before installation.
