你在哪里买的什么木头的地板？谢谢！

I just installed Oak hardwood floor for $5.50/sqf $3.5/sqf on hardwood from Costco, select grade solid oak, and $2 sqf to install it.

I'm very happy with my contractor, took him 10 days to install 1800 sqf of floor, I did pay extra $250 for removal of the carpet and $1.25 per liner foot on quarter round. keep in mind liner foot is much less than square footage.

I got them from Giant Carpet

Exotic Brazilian Hardwood, pre-finished (piano shiny), dark redish color, wide plank, I think it was $5.99/per SQFT

Re: when buy new house don't need to have the hardwood installed by builder

they asking tooooo much.
what I did was asking builder only install the standard carpet, then I choose the hardwood I like from flooring store, once got the key in closing day for the house, change the carpet to hardwood by the contractor, I also asked the contractor install the removed carpet/underpad to the basement. this way I saved great deal.
i.e. hardwood by builder $12 per sqft x 1200sqft
I bought much better quality hardwood floor than the builder's, with install total cost about $9 per sqft x 1400 (included installed in kitchen as well) and carpet in basement installed.

高啊。我们刚买了新房子，正在想upgrade的事呢。真是眼界大开。多谢。
顺便问一句，拆了地毯换地板，踢脚线怎么办呢？用换新的吗？费用如何呢？多谢。

踢脚线是指baseboard/sideboard/quater round 吗？

如果是的话，baseboard/sideboard 可以保留，但安装地毯时并没有quater round， 如果换地板一定是要安装的，一般店里买是3元多/8尺一根
