If you put down wood floors or laminate flooring ..

how much did it cost?

i know a lot of stuff varies, such as size of rooms, if you put it in yourself or if someone else did, etc...

but can you give me any idea of what you paid and for how many rooms? (you can FM me , too)

We bought our laminate floors at BJs of all places and they are stunningly gorgeous. Everyone who comes here loves them. For two rooms, I believe each room is like 18x26 roughly, it cost us less than 600 bucks. My dad put it down himself. He said it was so incredibly easy just snap it together.

Just wanted to add pictures of when it first got installed. It's been two years and the stuff is pretty heavy duty. There's no signs of wear and tear anywhere.

We had hardwood put down in our foyer, kitchen and family room, I would say the foyer is 6 x 15 and the kitchen and fmaily room are 15 x 40, but less the cabinets. We paid about 5,000 for it a few years ago. We bought the flooring from a place in Bohemia and then had someone come and install it.

We were originally going to go with laminate but we have dogs and it wasn't really recommended with the dogs. There are scratches from the dogs but we like that they can be sanded out and refinished and a laminate floor can not be.

We put down hardwood (4" planks of brazilian cherry) throughout the first floor (~1000sqft: family room, kitchen, living room, dining room). I believe the flooring cost ~$5K (6yrs ago), and we installed it ourselves.

My parents put down a laminate, and regret not going with wood.
