Reading the table for a 22x22 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $2,899 job from a $9,445 one on the same 484 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range engineered hardwood lands near $1,694 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
