GA- How much is good price for hardwood refinish, carpet, pad?

[Joel Owens]

Buying an office to house one of my full time workers and for myself in GA.

Office is nice but hall entry real wood floors need re-sanding and poly coat. Old carpet and pad needs ripping up.

Estimate sellers flooring guy is giving sounds high but I do not know what that runs generally.

"He has done work for me in the past as well. The cost to refinish the hardwood floors (sand, stain and 3 coats of poly) is $2.50 per square foot. Approximate cost would be $450-$500. If you wanted new quarter round is for the wooded areas it would be approx. $150 extra ($2 per foot - he supplies)."

The flooring is only when you walk in front door. Other areas is carpet except for tile in bathroom. The price seems expensive to me for such a small space. I could rip up carpet myself and pad if they charge too much.

Thanks
