Size and layout
Total square footage matters, but so do the number of rooms, closets, hallways and edges. Many small spaces take longer per square foot than one open room.
Floor type and condition
Solid versus engineered, species, remaining wear layer, finish layers, wax contamination and damaged boards all change the work involved.
Finish and color
Natural finish versus stain, number of stain samples, finish system and number of coats each affect time and materials.
Repairs and preparation
Board replacement, gap filling, subfloor flattening and moisture concerns are often found on inspection and can change the price.
Access and scheduling
Furniture moving, parking, stairs to carry equipment, occupied-home scheduling and association rules can add time.
Material supply
For installations, whether the contractor supplies flooring or installs material you bought makes a large difference in the total.
