This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
Each engineered board is a sandwich: a face of real hardwood bonded to a plywood or pressed wood fiber core.
Compared with hardwood installation, the boards are layered rather than milled from solid lumber, and they usually arrive prefinished, so the job seldom includes sanding and coating on site.
Laminate and vinyl plank only imitate wood, while the face of an engineered board is real hardwood. Sanding and recoating an engineered floor you already have is a refinishing job, priced separately.
What moves the price
- Depth of the wood layer
- A deeper layer of real wood on top costs more to buy, and it leaves room to sand the floor more than once. A thin layer may take only a light refinishing, or none.
- Core construction
- Boards with a core of crossed plywood layers are often priced above boards with a core of pressed wood fiber. The core is out of sight once the floor is down, but it can affect how the board handles changes in humidity.
- Glue-down over concrete
- Gluing boards to a slab usually calls for a moisture test of the concrete, a flat surface and the adhesive the maker names. The test, any grinding or patching, and the adhesive all show up on the bill.
- Surface texture
- Hand-scraped, wire-brushed and other textured faces take extra factory steps, so they usually cost more than a smooth face.
- Floating floor underlayment
- A floating engineered floor sits on foam, felt or cork, and felt and cork usually cost more than basic foam. Some makers name a type with a moisture layer for their warranty, which also costs more.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each flooring company before you compare prices:
- How deep is the wood layer on these boards, and does the maker say they can be sanded again?
- What is the core made of?
- Will the boards float, be glued or be fastened down here, and what does the maker require for my base?
- If my base is concrete, will you test it for moisture, and what happens if it does not pass?
- Which underlayment is in the price, and does the maker's warranty name one?
- Are the stair noses, reducers and other trim pieces from the same maker, and are they in the price?
