Cost factors

The total cost usually consists of:

  • System and materials: 40-50% of the total
  • Labor: 25-35% of the total
  • Subfloor and preparation: 15-25% of the total
  • Controls and commissioning: 5-10% of the total

These percentages can vary depending on the situation and materials chosen.

Why do prices vary?

  • System choice: Water-based or electric determines price and energy use.
  • Subfloor build-up: Floor type and thickness affect installation.
  • Insulation: Better insulation reduces usage but adds upfront cost.
  • Controls: Smart thermostats and zones increase the price.

Housing characteristics in Portland

Portland's housing stock is rich in Craftsman bungalows, foursquares, mid-century homes, and compact infill housing. The wet climate makes roofing, flashing, siding, drainage, and crawl-space ventilation especially important, and older wood-frame homes often need seismic bracing or careful envelope upgrades. In some neighborhoods, floodplain or environmental rules add design and permitting complexity to additions and site work.

  • Craftsman bungalows and older wood-frame homes
  • persistent rain raises demand for drainage and moisture management
  • seismic retrofit and floodplain rules affect some projects
  • competitive contractor market with varied pricing
  • mix of older and newer housing stock
  • good availability of specialized tradespeople
  • system type (water or electric) affects the price
  • subfloor build-up and insulation drive the work
