Fees & charges and freight rates 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 & sitting on some slow moving inventory so you will know the cheapest price.
Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge, white oak unfinished is a very comodity product and the price is very much impacted by what quality you are getting..
Long boards are more than shorter, cabi grade is cheaper than select & 7/16" thick is a lot less than 3/4" so make sure you are comparing apples to apples...
The big box home centers will be pretty competitive, they buy a lot of that stuff!
Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references... a steal on wood 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 under $2 per sq ft
sand & finish in place is a lot of work & the finish is better on the factory finished stuff... think twice on using the unfinished...

Run a short ad in Craigslist, be sure to mention how many square feet you need done & when, you will then know the cheapest price.
Then call the local ServiceMaster or Janitorial service in the yellow pages & ask what they charge if you buy your tile services 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 service, 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 $.30 per sq ft & that the known dealers will be $.50 or better a foot after they do all the add ins.

I would definitely invest in the unfinished hardwood flooring and finish it yourself. Since it is hard to match up different cuts of wood, you might have un-level spots on your floor. Maybe little edges that catch your feet and collect dirt, etc. If you set the unfinished flooring, you can then sand it down, eliminate the edges and also gloss/ stain it with whatever you want!

Depends on the work. Different price for wall and floor
Depends on the application really. The prefinished hardwood they are making now is fabulous. I would say, unless you are restoring a historic property, or have a reason to use unfinished, go with the prefinished. You wont have the mess, it will be done quickly, no fumes. No moving everything out at once, you can go one room at a time.Wife of a flooring contractor
