Wood flooring remains a top choice for its aesthetic appeal and durability. For contractors, accurately estimating wood floor costs is essential. Current pricing ranges from $7 to $25+ per square foot, influenced by materials and labor. This guide delves into key cost factors and strategies to maintain budget accuracy, highlighting how our tools enhance the process for trade professionals.
The choice of wood species significantly impacts cost. Common options like oak, maple, and hickory are cost-effective, while exotic species such as Brazilian cherry can triple expenses. Grades like clear, select, and common also affect pricing.
