| Hi all: I am in the Bay area and am wondering if I could get guidance on what I should expect to pay to install and finish (clear) cumaru /brazilian teak floors. Appreciate any guidance as well as quality installer recommendations! Thanks, |

| There is no clear answer. That is like asking what does a Ford Mustang cost. It can be anywhere between free, and $30 a sq.ft. or more. |
|
| Real good answer! |
|
| As far as installers in the bay area, I would check Angie's List and then check references of the installers you are considering. |
|
| Angie's list is not a very good indicator. You have to pay to post there. Contractors using multiple e-mail addresses, give themselves good ratings. |
|
| I've gotten 3 quotes and they vary from $4.45 to $5.80 per square foot for installation only (not including the wood). The highest quote did not include prepping the subfloor, which we estimated at an additional $500. I'm installing 800 square feet of prefinished 5" red oak planks, solid 3/4" hardwood, over slightly uneven old douglas fir subfloor in a 100 year old home. I have had great luck with finding vendors on Angie's list, and decent luck with Yelp. |
