Why Indiana prices differ from national averages
Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — a box of engineered hardwood costs about the same in every big-box store. What moves is labor. Installer day rates in Indiana track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.90 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for Indiana projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Exotic Engineered (Acacia, Koa) installed at $3.50/sf nationally becomes about $3.15/sf in Indiana.
