Q. there is a long hallway in my house I'd like to have wood flooring. but my contractor says that at the end of the hallway there is a slight incline. he says wood flooring would have to stop there and be replaced with carpet. esthetically I think it would look awful. is what he says true or is there another way to keep it all wood?
A. Hardwood floor installation can be slowed by an uneven subfloor. Before installing hardwood floors, use a straight edge to find the humps and dips in the subfloor. Then, using a floor leveling compound or asphalt shingles, shim the dips so the floor is level.
How many boxes would you have to buy of Laminate wood flooring to cover a 10x15 room?
Q. if it says it does 16sq ft per box?
I have a 1400sq ft home. and the math a did at 50 bucks a box, it would be well over 5k to do my home?
and at that price how does anyone afford to do wood flooring... even the fake kind? Am I figuring it wrong?

A. Are you doing one room or a whole house?? Your question suggests one room 10 X 15= 150 sq ft. You would divide that by the square footage listed on the box. In your example 16 sq ft= 9.37 or 10 boxes @ 50.00 = $500.00. To do the whole house could very well be $5000.00 for materials alone. Add to that the cost of the underlayment about $60.00 for a 100 sq ft roll. Are you sure you were looking at laminate and not engineered wood flooring? Laminate flooring cannot be refinished. Once it is scratched it's scratched! Engineered wood can be refinished once. I would suggest shopping around a bit more.
How much more is wood flooring compaired to carpet per square foot?
Q. I'm removing my ugly carpet and putting something new in. My mom wants carpet (less expensive) but its my dream to have wood flooring in my bedroom. I understand it all depends on where you by it, what kind and installation but maybe give me an estimate? Thanks so much!
A. 99% of the time wood will be more expense for the basic product. If your looking at some base grade products wood will go for around 2 $ a s/f more. Of course this varies with the exact product but you know what I mean.
Basic carpet , installed with a pad runs around (+-) 2.50 / 3.00$ a s/f.
Basic wood ( 2 1/4" oak) will run closer to 5/6$ a s/f installed.
There are laminates and other simulated woods that run closer to a carpet installed price.
And Traffic Master Allure you can do yourself , if you have basic skills,with nothing but a utility knife, That goes for 2$ a s/f.
