Wood finishing costs vary based on the specific project and condition of the wood. Homeowners typically pay between $4.60 and $9.00 per square foot for refinishing hardwood floors, with many factors potentially influencing the final price, such as the type of wood and surface preparation needed.
For most refinishing projects, homeowners can expect average costs around $5 to $8 per square foot, while some higher-end options may push prices toward the upper limits of the price range. Understand that the more intricate the job—like applying multiple coats or choosing high-end finishes—the more you’ll need to budget for labor and materials.
