Hardwood Floor Refinishing Costs

Typical hardwood floor refinishing will cost anywhere from $3–$8 per square foot. Location, condition and accessibility of the flooring will undoubtedly affect the total cost of the project. Traditional refinishing methods, such as sanding, recoating and cleanup will run between $3–$6 per square foot. A dustless method, using advanced commercial vacuums, will cost $5–$8 per square foot on average.

Cost Factors

The overall cost can easily increase depending on the type of floors, the condition they are in and extra improvements. Any differences from standard or straightforward refinishing projects can add to the overall cost. Some of these differences include:

• Refinishing or recoating
• Total square footage of the floor
• The floors condition
• Quality of the coating or finishing
• Number of finishes or coats needed
• If there are stairs
• Carpet or other flooring removals
• Access
