Sometimes it costs more if you have to find and buy flooring much later on. I paid 80 cents/s.f. for a couple of thousand feet of oak flooring a long time ago (1978). I stored it until I built my house a dozen years ago. Some time after moving in I had a leak from rain that got under a section of my flooring and caused it to cup. I contacted the contractor that had installed it & told him I wanted the section replaced (with the same exact wood) & it would be paid for by the roofing contractor. He came back with a SPECIAL ORDER PURCHASE PRICE OF $10.79/s.f. from Kentucky. Apparently what I had was quarter sawn oak and half sawn was all they sold now days.
