How much does it cost to install hardwood floors on 1000 sq feet?

I'm hoping you can help me estimate how much our new floors should cost. We are weighing the options and at this point it looks like we will go with solid hardwood. It's around 1,000 square feet, covering 2 rooms and a couple of hallways. Before I call for estimates, I like to ask friends (my fellow Hometalk buddies) what to expect. I know there are online guides, but it's hard to know which of them is correct and I like to ask real people like yourselves. Does anyone have experience with installing new floors that they can share with me?

we did as you have and measured the floors then you are supposed to add in 10% for waste and overages - we went to Home Depot and looked at the flooring and was able to get a price of us laying it by calculating the price of the floors we liked - if you are having it installed, you could call a local flooring store and just ask what they charge for labor on 1000 sq feet .
In Louisville, My, the average cost of installed red oak floors, finished is 6. Per sq. Ft.
The cost can average from $3 - $10 dollars depending upon the cost of the material and labor
Depends where you live, labor costs vary greatly across the country. I had unfinished walnut installed and mixed a custom color for the floor. It was very expensive. The floors will outlast me . . .

I paid more than what is quoted here. Custom costs. But they are fabulous.
