Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Labor costs are a significant portion of the total. For basic sanding and finishing, expect labor to be in the range of $1 to $1.35 per square foot, based on typical contractor payscales. More intensive work will require higher labor allocation.
Light sanding and a new finish (Basic tier) typically fall within the $3–$5 per square foot range. Deep sanding, often accompanied by staining and new finishing (Mid-range), would usually cost more, averaging $5–$6.5 per square foot due to increased labor and material requirements.
While generally consistent, very small or unusually shaped rooms might have a slightly higher per-square-foot cost due to the setup and maneuvering time. Larger, open spaces often allow for more efficient work. For example, a 729 sq ft job at $5 per square foot is considered good value, suggesting a steady rate for moderately sized areas.
Yes, custom stains and premium finishes fall under the 'Premium' tier, which ranges from $6.5–$8 per square foot. These options involve higher material costs and often require more meticulous application, warranting a higher price point compared to standard finishes.
Beyond square footage, consider the current condition of the floors (damage, old sealants), the type of wood, the specific finish desired (stain vs. no stain, number of coats), and any logistical challenges like moving furniture or difficult access to the work area.
