Question: how much does a new hardwood floor cost?
Answer: Low-end engineered hardwood runs $3 to $5 a square foot, midrange costs $5 to $10 a square foot, and high-end costs $8 to $13 a square foot, according to HomeAdvisor. Baseboards are charged by the foot, and the contractor will charge for vapor barriers and fasteners such as nails, staples or glue.
