2. In an office-type environment, is one better off to use hardwood or to go with Pergo or some similar material? And if the answer is Pergo, how much would Pergo cost in Question 1? (The office environment is very low-traffic for the most part, and pretty much all people walking.)
3. How much is it to use a slightly above average carpet instead of wood/Pergo?
4. If I wanted to buy a big rug with a company logo on it (like 12'x12', and a comfy indoor rug and not a welcome mat), where's my best deal on that? (And do you want to give me a bid?)

1) A lot depends on labor costs in your market and how it would be installed - nailed, glued or floated. So this is vague but the range might be $5-$10 per s/f.
2) Do you own or lease the space? Wood is usually more expensive than laminate but if it's a space you own you'll be adding value. Laminates might range from about $4-$8. laminates designed for commercial use would be a little more but might not be necessary if the area is light to moderate traffic.
3) A mid to high-mid commercial carpet completely installed would be probably $2.50-$3.00 s/f. Low end stuff could be found for under $2.00. If you want it to last buy a nylon product, if you want it more temporary buy a polypropylene.
4) Sorry, no clue, but I do know people who do such things.
In commercial work, prices often vary depending on who is moving furniture and equipment, whether night and weekend work is required and generally how much of a PITA the job will be. Making the work easier will save you $$.
As always, I advise to Support Your Local Flooring dealer. They'll usually give you better value and better service than the home centers.
