Labor Prices
Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is:
Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.
Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them?
That will be the highest price in the market
Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references. a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher..
My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $1 per sq ft & that the depot will be $2-4 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins...
Get it in writing. Never pay for it all upfront
A laminate wood floor product is better since it uses less actual wood that an all wood floor does.
You would have enough laminate to do an area 9 ft x 8 ft.

Pergo is a Laminate floor not a composite, but the answer is no the wax will neither harm nor help a laminate floor
No, bamboo is a type of wood floor, similar to engineered woods in which layers of wood are pressed together. Laminate contains a resin/wood/composite base over which a layer of laminate (plastic) has been applied.
No
No, it will clash and look terrible. Get rid of the laminate and lay a solid wood floor. mark
Yes, a laminate floor will do just fine in your kitchen. Unlike wood floors, the laminate is very resistant to damage from moisture. Be sure the sub-floor is prepared properly, however! Sever water damage to a sub-floor can cause warping and buckling if the proper materials are not used. If this happens, damage to the sub-floor will telegraph problems into your new laminate floor, causing it to warp and buckle as well. Hire a qualified contractor to install your floor who knows what he's doing and who follows all appropriate building codes. But a sloppy dog probably isn't much to worry about. :)
You can remove dry fingernail polish from a wood laminate floor by first using fingernail polish remover or acetone to cut the polish. Then, use your fingernail to scrape the remaining polish from the floor.
According to historians, the average cost to install flooring is between $2300 to $2400; however, some factors to consider in pricing is square footage and type of flooring installed like wood or laminate.
hard wood it is way cheeper but way worse
laminate floor is floating, ie it is hooked to itself and is not attached to subfloor - wood flooring is nailed to subfloor, usually thru the tongue .. you must then finish the wood flooring, and laminate already has its finish..
