Get the square footage, multiply it by the price of the flooring and ask the installer how much he charges per sq foot to install. So if it is 500 sq ft X (lets say) $7.00 per sq foot, that equals (500 X 7) $3500. Most companies include installation in the price quoted. If not, ask. Say he changes $1.50 per sq ft. that would be $750. You can get flooring as cheaply as $3.00 per sq foot. Check out several different companies first. AND TRY TO GET INSTALLATION INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.

See what others are asking. Look at the Sunday ads for national chains and they will tell you how much per square feet they will charge for a particular wood floor to be installed. Start there and then add in a cushion. You could also get bids but its besy to determine a fair price through the market if possible. Three guys from yellow pages isn't always the best way for that.

Be prepared to pay at least $5,000.00 if you have a professional do it. A lot depends on what you buy. You can save money by using a lower grade wood or composite, but remember you get what you pay for. If you do it yourself, figure at least $1.00 per square foot for materials, and that's on the cheap end (not to mention the headache of having to do it yourself). Your best bet is to shop around, get the best deal you can for the materials, then find someone who has experience installing wood floors to do it for you as a side project. The flooring folks charge an arm and a leg for labor...

By the square foot. You can get an idea of the range of dollars per square foot for hardwood by going to Home Depot and talking to one of their consultants in the flooring section. That's what I did.

the square foot is found by finding how many feet in each direction.
a good rule of thumb is to take the area you are trying to cover and add 10% and then purchase that amount.
also, find the area of each cutout and either add or subtract from the main area, depending on whether or not you're going to cover it in flooring.
and, you have to check out the underlayment requirements and figure that into the cost of the flooring.
