Board species—Traditional red oak starts near $7 per sq. ft. installed, while premium quarter-sawn white oak or walnut can exceed $15.
Plank width—Wider boards reduce install time but require higher-grade lumber, adding 10-15 % to material cost.
Subfloor condition—Leveling concrete slabs or replacing damaged joists can add $1-$3 per sq. ft.
Finish system—Oil-based poly is inexpensive but amber-tones over time; two-component waterborne systems resist scratches and UV fade for an extra $0.75 per sq. ft.
CountBricks bundles these variables into one transparent estimate so you can compare scenarios—solid vs. engineered, site-finished vs. prefinished—without spreadsheet headaches.
• Solid hardwood: Best for main floors and above-grade installs where humidity remains between 35-55 %
• Engineered hardwood: Ideal for basements and lakefront homes prone to moisture swings
• Luxury vinyl plank: Budget-friendly but lacks the warmth, refinishing potential, and resale boost of real wood
Our project consultants explain pros, cons, and long-term ROI so you invest wisely.
Hardwood’s natural insulating value reduces drafts compared with tile or stone, keeping Rochester winters at bay. CountBricks sources FSC-certified lumber and uses low-VOC adhesives and finishes to protect your family’s health.

• Run boards perpendicular to joists for maximum stiffness
• Maintain indoor RH between 35-55 % year-round to prevent cupping

When the Shepherd family purchased a 1940s bungalow in Brighton, the original pine floors were beyond repair. They wanted wider, modern planks without losing the home’s vintage charm. CountBricks recommended 5-inch engineered white oak with a matte finish to handle Rochester’s seasonal humidity shifts.
