Below is what this kind of work involves around Kitchener, and an honest look at what moves the price — no invented flat rates.

In and around Kitchener, housing runs from older near-town homes to newer subdivisions, so the same job can look quite different depending on the age and style of the house.

For hardwood flooring specifically, the Kitchener housing stock is part of the picture: Post-war neighbourhoods hold large numbers of homes with original kitchens and bathrooms still in service.

Kitchener mixes century homes around downtown and Victoria Park with broad post-war neighbourhoods and, more recently, a run of new condos along the LRT line. Add a large rental market serving two universities and a college, and you get steady demand for everything from turnover repairs to full renovations of homes that have waited decades for one.

The older stock rewards owners willing to invest — original brick, deep lots and solid bones. From regrouting one bathroom in a Stanley Park side-split to renovating a century duplex top to bottom, send the details for a free quote.

• Century homes near downtown and Victoria Park involve plaster, older wiring and masonry in most renovations.
• A substantial rental and student-housing market drives regular turnover and repair work.
• Post-war neighbourhoods hold large numbers of homes with original kitchens and bathrooms still in service.

Rather than a made-up number, here's an honest look at what affects the cost of hardwood flooring in Kitchener:

• Wood species, grade and plank width — wide planks and character grades price differently
• Solid vs engineered, and prefinished vs finished on site
• Subfloor condition; flattening and repairs come before any wood
• Stairs — treads and railings are priced as their own job
• The era of the home — Kitchener has a wide mix, and a 1960s build and a recent build can need quite different work for the same job.
• Layout complexity: angles, patterns, lots of doorways and closets
• Removal of existing flooring and what's under it
