Mike's Flooring

Pricing

What a hardwood floor usually costs.

These are the rates behind the online estimate. A range you see on this site is a preliminary price from the size and conditions you enter. It is not a contract, and it is not a promise that the work is booked. The final price comes after Mike looks at the floor.

  • Installation labor

    $3.50–$5 per sq ft. This is the labor to install the floor. It does not include the hardwood if you already bought it.

  • Solid oak material

    $4.50–$6.50 per sq ft. Used only when Mike supplies solid oak. Waste is added to the material order, not to the labor.

  • Material waste

    10% on materials only. Added to the material order when Mike supplies the flooring.

  • Sanding and refinishing

    $3.75–$5.50 per sq ft. Sanding and a natural finish on hardwood that is already down.

  • Stain

    $1.25 per sq ft. Added when the refinish includes stain.

  • Minimum job charge

    $950 per job. Small jobs are brought up to this amount when the calculated price is lower.

  • Carpet removal

    $1.50 per sq ft. Taking up carpet before the new floor goes down.

  • Hardwood removal

    $2.50 per sq ft. Taking up an existing hardwood floor.

  • Board repair

    $35 each. Replacing a damaged board when you know how many boards need work.

  • Stair tread

    $100 each. A straight stair tread. A complicated staircase still needs Mike to look at it.

  • Transition

    $45 each. A transition piece where the hardwood meets another floor.

  • Square footage

    More floor usually means more labor. Room sizes are what you measure, not a guess from a photo.

  • Who supplies the flooring

    Labor is priced on its own. Solid oak is added only if Mike supplies the material, with 10% waste on that material.

  • What is already down

    Carpet and existing hardwood are separate removal rates.

  • Finish

    A natural refinish and a stained refinish are different rates.

  • Repairs and stairs

    Boards, treads, and transitions are priced by the piece.

  • Conditions the range cannot see

    Water damage, an unknown size, or a repair without a board count stops the calculator. Those need a closer look.
