i have two small rooms, about 200 square feet all together.

I'm trying to figure out how much installation would be for each of these....how much time/costs would a professional charge? Prefinished hardwood vs vinyl plank vs ikea laminate?

labor for wood or laminate is about the same. The variable is floor prep. If the wood and laminate are floating there is minimal floor prep. if you glue down the wood floor prep will be a factor. Vinyl planks if glued down will require floor prep. If floating then it would be less assuming you have a solid surface to install over.

Not real helpful boxers.
hardwood would be 1.50 to 2.00 per foot, laminate 1.25 to 1.75 per foot and vinyl plank 1.00 to 2.00 in todays market. floor prep, 1/4 round, rip-up and furniture will be extra.

labor rates vary from $2-2.50 where I live. Of course you would know all factors so your way more helpful
