How much does it cost on average to install a solid hardwood floor of approximately 875 square feet?
Oct 14th, 2008 by admin
the hardwood floor will be either set on top of an existing hardwood floor which would probably use laminate or engineered wood….or on the alternative take out the old floor and install new solid hardwood of 3/4 inch thickness. Regardless, I would like to know a ball park figure for either scenario. Thank You
Ballpark (varies depending on locale):
Remove old hardwood: $1000
Install new hardwood: $2500
Install laminate: $1000
I doubt anyone would install hardwood on top of hardwood because the added thickness would cause problems.

If I was to do the job, I'd likely charge anywhere from $3.75 to $10 a sq. ft. PLUS materials.
Costs to remove are added usually, certainly, as we have to dispose of anything we remove.
If you can, and the old flooring can take it, leave it in. That largely depends on removing molding, cutting door bottoms, cabinets etc.
