Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much should I pay to have my wood floors refinished?

The average cost to refinish wood floors ranges from $600 to $5,000. But how much you should pay depends on a variety of factors, including size, location, material costs and prep work. Here’s a quick look at cost estimates depending on the total square footage:

100 - 250 sq. ft. $600
251 - 500 sq. ft. $750
501 - 750 sq. ft. $1,601

How long does it take to sand and refinish hardwood floors?

It typically takes between two and five days to refinish hardwood floors, depending on the type of polyurethane you use (oil or water-based), and the size and condition of your floors.

For example, some flooring businesses may be able to sand approximately 1,500 to 2,000 square feet in one day or several hundred square feet in a few hours. Re-sanding floors with old finishes will usually take longer than sanding unfinished hardwood. It might also take longer to sand floors in older homes, floors that have sustained water damage or floors located in humid environments.

Is refinishing hardwood floors worth it?

Refinishing your hardwood floors has many benefits for homeowners, both short- and long-term. For example, it can immediately improve the value of your home by appealing to future buyers. You might also save money in the long run, as damaged floors require expensive maintenance and may even need to be replaced. And a professional floor refinisher will have the tools and equipment to refinish your floors safely and efficiently.

Talk to the top-rated hardwood floor refinishers in your area to find out if refinishing your floors is a good idea for your home.

Is it cheaper to refinish or replace hardwood floors?

Refinishing your hardwood floors is almost always cheaper than replacing them entirely. New hardwood floors typically cost between $1.75 and $9 per square foot to install, or $1,500 to $10,000. Refinishing your floors will generally cost around $2.70 and $3 per square foot, or $600 to $5,000. 

It’s always better to refinish your floors when they’re still in good condition rather than waiting until they have heavy damage and scratching. This will lower your costs in the long run, and it’s a great way to preserve your floors.

How much are oak hardwood floors?

Installing oak hardwood floors can add value and beauty to your home. The cost of hardwood floors is typically based on the overall square footage of your new floor, the type of oak you select, any repair work your subfloor requires prior to installation, and any demolition costs to remove your old flooring. Other factors that will affect your total cost can include the regional cost of labor and business overhead of your flooring company.

A flooring installation company may charge $3 per square foot for standard installation. For hand-scraped (higher-end) ¾-inch oak planks, the cost is approximately $7 per square foot, for a total cost per square foot of about $10 as long as no repair work is required. Standard oak planks are available from big-box stores for as low as $3 per square foot, so the quality of oak you want will affect your total project cost.

Do flooring professionals offer remote or virtual services?

Because flooring work has to be done in-person, flooring professionals are typically unable to perform work virtually. If you come across a pro's profile that states they're offering remote services, message the pro to see what those services include.

If you plan to get indoor flooring installed once the pandemic is over, you can ask potential flooring specialists if they host virtual consultations through video calls and digital messaging. Compare flooring professionals in your area online to find the right fit, and book an appointment.

The Wood Floor Pros did an amazing job refinishing my hardwood floors and I’m so pleased with how they turned out. I have an old home and they took pride in bringing out the natural beauty of the wood (even with its imperfections).

Definitely the highest quality wood floor refinishers I've ever dealt with. These guys another stuff. My floor was atrocious and former homeowners had tried to refinish the floor themselves and done a terrible job. There was divots and uneven sanding marks everywhere. Jared and his team sanded the floor like six times to get it laser straight and perfectly smooth. Absolutely 100% quality job. Definitely will be reusing these guys again. highly recommend Madera hardwood floors LLC to anyone who needs floors redone.

These guys were great! My hardwood was damaged from a flood. They refinished my entire condo and added new in my kitchen. The floors look even better than before. They did a really thorough consultation which I really appreciated!

Thanks Jared for refinishing my old hardwood floors and making them look new again! What a transformation, and for such a reasonable cost too. Jared was quick to respond and did excellent work. He completed the job on time and I could not be happier with his craftsmanship. Thanks again!

I contacted Jared to have my hardwood floors refinished before I moved into my home. He was very prompt at responding back to me online and we set an appointment for him to come out and look things over. He was very honest with me about the best way to go about it, didn’t try to upsell me in anyway and gave me his advice on what products to use. He was very prompt and fast in the work he did and it has turned out beautifully. I couldn’t happier with the outcome and the quality of work done by Jared. I would highly recommend Madera Hardwood!

I have nothing but praise to give Pedro and his team. From day one, He was incredibly responsive and helpful. We could tell he knew his stuff because he was able to match our original hardwood (installed in the 60’s) perfectly. He was able to source the wood for us for incredibly cheap and worked to make sure the stain was exactly what we wanted. He refinished our whole house for a great price and communicated with us well on expectations. He was able to do a few custom pieces where the floor elevated and a staircap piece as well. He had great recommendations for where pieces of our original hardwood were missing. I was very impressed at how diligently and quickly he was able to get the project done. The results were better than we could have imagined. If you could choose anyone to hire for your wood install/refinishing projects, hire Pedro. He is a craftsman, and cares so much about doing the job right. We loved working with him.

I had Kevin, the owner's brother of Utah Flooring & Design come and quote my house for a couple different flooring options. Once I paid the 50% deposit communication STOPPED! Refinishing of my hardwood and carpet was scheduled for the same day, but the carpet never got installed, and when I called I was informed it wasn't even in the state. I originally went with these guys because they came and quoted a couple of projects, seemed reasonably priced, and guaranteed to have it completed during the required timeline. But once they got my money, that was that. I called Kevin repeatedly and asked for updates, never got them. Definitely won't use them again, and definitely wouldn't recommend them.
