Refinishing costs $1.50 to $6 per square foot before HST, depending on the floor’s size and condition, against $8 to $25 for new hardwood. If your boards are sound and thick enough to sand, refinishing gives you a like-new floor and keeps the original wood.
The main things that move your quote.
More floor and more separate rooms means more sanding and finishing time.
Stairs, closets and tight spaces are slow, careful work.
