Cost of Engineered Hardwood

[Kyle B.]

I have a property I'm going to flip and am considering installing engineered hardwood in the main living areas. I've never purchased this flooring before so I was interested in knowing what other rehabbers typically pay per square foot. I've mainly been looking through Lumber Liquidators and BuildDirect and have found a lot of options in the $2.50 to $3.00 price range. Can I expect flooring in this price range to be quality, or would I need to pay up for a better quality. I'm not looking for anything fancy, but I obviously want to avoid crap product. For reference, this is a house that will sell for $135k, so most likely a first time home buyer.

Thanks!
