Typical costs range from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on material and installation complexity.

Understanding the Portland, Maine Wood Flooring Market

Portland's unique architectural blend presents specific challenges:

  • Diverse subfloor conditions in older homes
  • Strict municipal permitting for historic renovations
  • Moist seaside climate affecting wood stability

CountBricks navigates these challenges with AI that references local databases for moisture content, permit fees, and lumber pricing.

Popular Wood Species and Finishes

  • Eastern white pine for traditional aesthetics
  • Rift-sawn white oak for modern designs
  • Reclaimed barn board for eco-friendly projects
  • Maple and birch for high-traffic areas
  • Engineered hickory for basements

Key Cost Factors for Wood Flooring

Wood flooring costs depend on several factors:

  • Material type: solid hardwood, engineered, or prefinished
  • Board dimensions: wider planks may increase waste
  • Subfloor preparation: leveling and moisture barriers
  • Finish method: site-finished vs. factory-cured
  • Trim and transitions
  • Layout complexity: patterns like herringbone add labor

CountBricks provides an itemized breakdown of these costs in real-time.
