What's Included
What Your Estimate Includes
Our estimate includes the flooring materials you selected, professional installation, removal of your existing flooring (if selected), and the applicable Georgia sales tax on flooring materials, calculated live for your specific ZIP code. This calculator is designed to provide a realistic budget estimate, but every home is unique.

During your free in-home consultation, we'll professionally measure your space, verify all project details, help you select the perfect flooring, and provide a detailed written proposal with final pricing before any work begins. If needed, additional items such as stairs, trim and quarter round, transition strips, baseboards, furniture moving, floor leveling, door jamb or door frame modifications, subfloor repairs, moisture mitigation, or other site-specific conditions will be evaluated and quoted separately so you have a complete understanding of your project before making any decisions.

Pricing Factors
What Affects Your Flooring Cost
Square footage
The biggest driver. More floor means more product, more labor, and more removal. Measuring accurately (or letting us measure professionally) keeps your estimate tight.
Flooring type & quality tier
Budget LVP and laminate cost less per square foot than solid hardwood or premium engineered products. Within each type, a higher quality tier raises the price per square foot.
Existing flooring removal
Tearing out carpet is inexpensive; removing tile or glued-down hardwood costs more. The calculator prices removal individually for each area based on what is there now.
Waste allowance
Extra product is ordered so installers can pattern-match and cut around corners. Typical waste is 8–15%; larger or more complex rooms may need more.
Stairs, trim & subfloor repair
Staircases, quarter round, transitions, and subfloor prep are priced separately in your final in-home quote. The calculator gives you a planning range for the floor itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does solid hardwood flooring cost installed?
Installed solid hardwood in the Atlanta area typically runs $8.00 to $15.00 per square foot, including product and labor. A 1,000 square foot project usually lands between $8,500 and $15,500 depending on the wood species, width, and quality tier.
How long does solid hardwood flooring last?
Solid hardwood can last 50 to 100+ years because it can be sanded and refinished multiple times. It is one of the longest-lasting flooring options available and adds lasting value to your home.
Can solid hardwood be installed in Atlanta homes?
Yes, with proper acclimation and moisture control. Georgia humidity requires solid hardwood to acclimate before installation and to be maintained at stable indoor humidity. We assess your subfloor and home conditions during your free in-home consultation.
Is solid hardwood better than engineered hardwood?
Solid hardwood can be refinished more times and has the longest lifespan, but it is more sensitive to humidity. Engineered hardwood is more stable in humid climates like Atlanta. Both are real wood; the best choice depends on your home, subfloor, and long-term plans.
Does solid hardwood increase home value?
Yes. Solid hardwood is widely considered a premium flooring choice and is one of the features most associated with higher resale value. Buyers consistently rank real hardwood floors among the most desirable home features.
