$22k for engineered hardwood flooring
Hi, need some advice. Context - we are buying a new construction house. Currently is supposed to have hardwood (engineered/high quality laminate, so not real hardwood) on the main floor and carpet on the stairs and all thru the top floor. We were quoted $22k to convert all that carpet to hardwood to match the main floor, just doing the stairwell alone was 6k (within the 22k). Is this a fair quote? How much would it be to do this with a contractor after we close?#housing Edit Square footage - 2100 Location - Seattle
Sq ft?
It’s a steal. I paid $30k for something similar
It's good because you can sell house for more money
What location is this and whats the price per sq ft
Unless you have a medical issue like being allergic to carpet, why spend that money?
Carpet is never clean
Do it afterwards, otherwise you will end up paying property tax on 22k for rest of the life, something to think of
This!
Seems fair. Need location sqt and type of hwd. FWIW hardwood floor stairs can be hazardous if you have little kids are aren’t a ninja.
Location - Seattle area. Roughly 2000 sqft of carpet area
Most engineered hw is 3-6$ per square ft (so 6k-12k) just for the planks, then you have underlayment, edges for stairs etc. 14k for a decent sized floor and 6k for stairs seems reasonable to me. Does it include matching floor trim and quarter round? If so then you are getting a good deal. If not, prob just paying a Seattle premium.
