What changes the price

Species and grade. Oak and maple sit at the lower end. Walnut, hickory and exotic species cost more.
Board width. Wide planks cost more to buy and take more care to lay.
Install method. Nail-down over plywood is the standard. Glue-down over concrete adds adhesive and labour.
Pattern. A diagonal layout adds about $1 per sq ft. Herringbone adds about $2.
The subfloor. Squeaks, soft spots and uneven areas get fixed before the new floor goes down.

Solid or engineered

Solid hardwood runs $8 to $20 per sq ft. It is nailed to a wood subfloor and can be sanded and refinished many times.

Engineered hardwood runs $8 to $17 per sq ft. It has a real wood top layer on a stable core, so it can float, glue or nail down. That makes it the pick over concrete, in basements and in condos.
