How to Determine Your Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost

The average hardwood floor refinishing cost can typically range anywhere from $1 – $5.25 per square foot. But this number varies on a case-by-case basis depending on several key factors—mainly anything that can impact how many hours refinishers will need to invest in your project, along with the materials they’ll need to properly complete the process. This may include:

• The condition of your floors
• The size of the room that needs refinishing
• How many rooms need refinishing
• If you need stairs refinished
• And more

Note that if your damage is more extensive (you need floor boards replaced or cracks sealed, for example), you may not be able to fix it by refinishing. In this case, your contractor will likely recommend a full wood floor repair, which will drive up the final price. For a more accurate picture of your hardwood floor refinishing cost, you can also consult flooring companies throughout the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC areas to compare estimates.

What Does Your Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost Include?

Now that you have a better idea of what your hardwood floor refinishing cost could look like, you probably want to know what you’ll get out of that. Though the exact specifications can vary based on the contractor of your choice, your budget will typically include:

• Hardwood floor sanding to eliminate marks and smooth out the look
• Hardwood floor staining to give your flooring a refreshed, updated look
• Hardwood floor polishing to add shine and provide protection from future damage

Depending on the wood floor refinishing company you choose, your estimate may also include costs for cleanup and site preparation, which primarily consists of relocating any furniture. We recommend you carefully review your proposal to be sure of what’s included before finalizing your contract.
