Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the cost, multiply the total square footage of the area by your chosen per-square-foot rate. Remember to add any extra charges for repairs, specialized finishes, or complex areas like stairs, which can average $40 to $75 per stair tread.
A 'basic' floor finishing job, typically priced between $2 and $3.75 per square foot, involves standard sanding and refinishing for a room of average size where the existing floor is in good condition, requiring minimal preparation.
You should quote a 'premium' price, ranging from $6.5 to $8 per square foot, when the job involves extensive sanding and refinishing, requires specialized finishes, or is on floors needing significant repair or preparation due to poor condition.
The condition of the existing floor significantly impacts costs. Floors in good condition require less preparation and fall into lower price tiers, while those needing extensive repairs, stain removal, or deep sanding will involve more labor and materials, pushing the cost towards the mid-range or premium tiers.
