Why no prices are listed here
This site is a referral service. Independent contractors set their own prices after seeing the floor. Published averages often hide the factors below.
Main factors
Expect a quote to reflect:
- Square footage, number of rooms and closets
- Repairs needed before sanding
- Stain color change versus natural
- Finish product and number of coats
- Contamination such as wax
- Furniture moving and access
- Separate requests such as stairs
Comparing quotes
Compare the scope line by line: number of coats, product, repairs, moving and cleanup. Quotes that look different may cover different work.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a price by phone?
Some contractors give a rough range, but a firm quote usually requires seeing the floor.
