Contractor has quoted me a price of $5.50 / sq. foot for materials (engineered maple), and $4.50 / sq. foot for glue-down installation. I thought since he's doing our whole house (2000 sq feet) he'd give us a cheaper price for the installation. Do you think $1.50 / sq. foot is reasonable to ask?
That is the approximate going price for an engineered maple. Maple in itself is a slightly higher priced product.. As for labor , hes including the glue which in itself is approx 100$ fo a 3 1/2 gallon pail ( his cost ) So if his price includes the glue, I d say its not out of line. Yes ask for a large job discount..You should be able to get some knocked off. It d probably be a percentage. Some stuff you didn t mention either way.. Is this an open floor plan? A lot of in and out of rooms? Some of this can drive up the cost a bit and may effect your job. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL

Then try to get a quoter closer to the $3.25, saying that getting work done depends a lot on the availability of local labor, not having many installers in your area will cost you more sad to say. I hope this helps
