Why Maryland 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 Maryland track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.93 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for Maryland projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Exotic Engineered (Acacia, Koa) installed at $3.50/sf nationally becomes about $3.26/sf in Maryland.
