Is $6,500 to install 150 sqft of red oak hardwood flooring without demo a fair price?
Project Details
I was quoted for 150sqft of red oak hardwood flooring in Los Angeles. The company is a small, local shop that specializes in repair, install, and refinish on older homes. I was shocked by the price per square foot ($43-$58) and plan to call more contractors.
