What moves the number in a 16x24 room
The spread comes almost entirely from product tier: Entry Engineered Oak and Premium Wide-Plank Engineered are several dollars per square foot apart, which compounds to a four-figure gap in a 384 sq ft room. Labor is steadier — about $1,344 here at national rates, drifting 15–25% with your state. Every figure already carries the industry-standard 10% material waste allowance.
