Ballpark figure: how much does it cost to re-do all the flooring in a house?

[grannynancy]

I have learned one thing about ceramic tile

Get a pro for the ceramic. If the floor has a truss system on 24 inch centers [common nowadays] instead of joists on 16 inch centers there is more flex in the floor and you need a thicker backer board and possibly some other items to prevent flex.

Your hardwood flooring choices will be limited if you are looking at a slab foundation - things may have changed but a few years ago the only "wood" that would work on a slab was Engineered hardwoods, Laminated hardwoods, and Bamboo.

To put this in perspective, are we talking about a house of around 1500 sqf. with the entire interior being refloored?

I paid about $3,800 for 500 square feet of hardwood before I put my house on the market last year. It was a living room, entry foyer/hallway, dining room and powder room. This included taking up carpet in the living room, removing vinyl in the powder room (resetting toilet) and taking up the old wood parquet tiles in the foyer. This was in Georgia.

A rough guesstimate would be somewhere between $6 and $9 dollars a square foot.

For your average size, modest 3-bedroom house, what is a ballpark figure for this? Let's assume an average-priced hardwood flooring. And i would not be doing any of the work myself.

Any figures anyone can provide? I'm completely new to this.

$8k

EDIT that was my cost 9 years ago
