Hardwood Floor Refinishing: National or Regional AVERAGE COST/sf

[Brandon McLean]

Hello world!

OK, so you've found a house and there's the beautiful and highly sought-after "HARDWOODS UNDER CARPET"!!!!!

What are you paying to get them re-finished?  How are the companies quoting you? Per square foot?  

Please let us know where you are from when you respond, and give details!

-what about shoe molding/quarter round?

-what about patching stuff? fixing damaged parts....

     -do you have to go find the pieces? where?  do they provide pieces for you to repair 1950s 3.25" pine?

    -do you keep a little stash of pine or oak pieces?

My standard, I think, is SAND, STAIN, and 2 COATS OF POLY.  Is this what you're seeing?

I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on most aspects of rehabbing but I've been having issues finding a reliable company/guy who I can trust, and I'm really not sure what is a good price these days.

Thanks in advance.
