SW Michigan - Floor Installation Prices, Rule of Thumb

To those of you who are beginning to freeze with me in Southwest Michigan:

Do you have a general rule of thumb that you use for installation labor rate for various flooring for flips?  I have some close friends who build custom homes, but their contractors typically quote higher pricing because they're BUSY right now, and because they're used to custom new-build jobs. And of course there are deals online with the typical big-box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot but I haven't decided if I trust them entirely yet (they royally screwed up my cabinet order on the last rehab that I did, and I wound up going to a regular custom cabinet shop instead).

Laminate/Engineered Flooring and Kitchen/Bath Tile is what I'm interested in hearing from you on primarily. 

Thanks,
-Nate
