Flooring

What flooring work actually costs

Across the flooring projects priced here, jobs run from $200 at the low end to $12,000 at the top. The cheapest thing on this page is hardwood floor repair; the most expensive is hardwood floor installation.

Most of this work is priced by the carpenter doing it: labor is about 57% of the typical bill in this category. That is the part that changes when you change cities, which is why two identical quotes in different metros can be hundreds apart on the same materials. Every guide below carries its own city-by-city breakdown built from BLS wage data.

Ranges are typical all-in costs for a standard job, not quotes. Read the individual guide for the tier breakdown, what drives the price on that specific project, and where the money is worth spending. See how we build these numbers.
