Hardwood Floors Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

So you're saying that she shouldn't have paid more than around 85 cents a sq foot for hardwood floors installed?? Right, buddy. Right. Sure.

We just got a quote from a private flooring company through our contractor for wood flooring and its about the same as what Empire Flooring quoted us. Whenever you're talking about home improvements, there's always some jerk who knows where you went wrong, how you could have saved money, and a whole list of bad things that will happen to your house because you didn't do things like he would have done them. I do recommend shopping around. If you feel like Empire is the best option in your area (and its logical that in some areas Empire contractors are very good and in some areas they aren't) then go with Empire.

THIS GUYS DID REALLY GOOD WORK ON MY TWO FLOORS. THAY BROUGHT THE OLD FLOOR BACK LIKE NEW.IF IN PA CALL THESE GUYS....484-840-6054

This guy make a really good work in my ,dinner room. i spend $900 for all the wood and labor and glue also shoe molding. was nice.

Bought 880sqft of engineered hardwood for 800sqft project. My first hardwood floor project is underway after a lot of research and a few tips from my general contractor who is working other projects on my new house. Total came to about $4000 including T-molding, adhesive, etc. Borrowed miter saw from bother-in-law.
Going well so far; first room is about halfway done, and saved $4/sqft on labor, learning something new to boot.

I have only had an estimate from empire today and want to make sure I do not get ripped off.....also had one phone est. for $1600.00,...is there anyone out there who thinks $3100.00-$1600.00 is a rather extreme gap??
need helpful advice for the philly region..ASAP

"I have a 65 year old house with floors that are really thin from multiple refinishing attempts. The floors were also very discolored in spots 1z2 floors did a great job refinishing them!!! Floors look great Extremely happy with the results A+++, price was $1.90 with stain and was more than fair so I leave a tip $200"

They gave me a choice between pre-finished in "natural color" to match the hardwood floor in the rest of the house for $6,80 per sq/ft of new flooring or any color I wanted if I sanded and stained all the wood in the house (sanding, staining, three coats of poly, baseboard, toe molding, etc) for $6.80 for the new hardwood and $2.50 for the existing hardwood. It took them a week and another week before the floor was dry enough that you could spend the night (it smells pretty bad even with the windows open for the first week or two, it wouldn't have smelled at all if we went with the pre-finished wood).

They did a great job and even came back to buff and refinish spots that got scratched as I was moving furniture (they even brought little felt pads to put on the bottom of my furniture so they wouldn't have to come back).

If i got ripped off then please break it to me gently because I feel pretty good about the value i got.

this company empire hires out sub contractors & has no experience or right to be in the flooring business ,not there ads only say reliable & service & not how many yrs they have been in business what they are installing? people get a grip & do ya research & go to a flooring company that has over 25yrs or more in the business ! ! !

we called empire for laminate floors for 700sf and they told us 9900.00 and thats with buy 1 room get 2 free ya right we told them your crazy they are way over priced

You way overpaid. That's like $9 a square foot. You should have paid no more than $600. Empire Today preys on people who are unaware of pricing or will not research contractors. With the number of home improvement warehouses why would anyone go with such a company? I just did my floors 1,096 SF for a total of $1350.

Had living room and hallway carpets replaced with a honey oak laminate. Installation was done in one day and included new 3" basebards, transition in 6 doorways. They took away the old carpet & pad and moved emptied furniture. So happy with it!!! Looks great and they had great service.
