Reading the table for a 14x20 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $1,677 job from a $5,464 one on the same 280 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range engineered hardwood lands near $980 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
