Most customers in Atlanta, GA, can expect to pay between $3 and $6 per square foot for floor sanding and refinishing services.
To calculate the square footage, measure the length and width of each room and multiply them together. Sum the square footage of all areas to be sanded. For irregularly shaped rooms, break them down into smaller, measurable rectangles.
Several factors can increase the cost, including the poor condition of the existing floor, complex floor types like parquet, the need for extensive repairs, adding stain, specifying premium finishes, and refinishing stair treads.
It's best practice to clarify whether furniture moving is included in the per-square-foot rate or if it will be an additional hourly charge or handled by the client. Explicitly stating this in your quote prevents misunderstandings.
The frequency depends on wear and tear, but generally, hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished every 7 to 10 years for residential properties. High-traffic commercial areas may require it more often.
