Bamboo flooring has become the go-to choice for eco-conscious homeowners who want hardwood aesthetics without hardwood price tags. Yet one question still stops many remodels before they start: What will it cost to install bamboo in my home? CountBricks answers that question with precision, speed, and real-time pricing.
Most single-family homes see bamboo flooring installation costs fall between $7 and $14 per square foot. That figure includes materials, underlayment, adhesives or fasteners, trim, finishing, and professional labor. A 350 ft² living room therefore lands near $2,450–$4,900. CountBricks delivers immediate line-item breakdowns so you can pinpoint where every dollar goes.
• Bamboo grade and strand density: premium strand-woven planks cost more but resist dents better
• Plank width & length: wider, longer boards accelerate install time but raise material price
• Finish type: factory-applied UV finishes save onsite labor, custom stains require extra coats
• Subfloor condition: level, dry plywood keeps costs low; uneven concrete adds prep, moisture barriers
• Old floor removal: demolition and disposal average $1–$2 per square foot
