floor stain price per square foot

Take that price. However, we don't know who gave you that price (someone you were referred too?, good reputation?), the condition of the existing floor, location of apartment, size of apartment. These all play a part in price.

Misosilly,

That is fair

These are the prices JC Martin & Sons (Carlos Wood Floors) have charged me for my brownstone rental apartments...they only use Bona™ Traffic (water based finish) which is a high end product which is a huge plus in my book...hope this helps.

Parquet floors with Stain - sanding + staining + 3 coats of Bona™ Traffic (water based finish) - $3.45/sq ft

Regular wood floors with Stain - sanding + sealer + 3 coats of Bona™ Traffic (water based finish) - $3.25/sq ft

Contact Carlos at carloswoodfloors@gmail.com or via his cell phone at 646-418-0925. You can reference me I've given them tons of work over the years.

Good Luck,
Adam

This is very helpful guys! I was referred to this floor company by a contractor that I have used in past and was told that he does done big commercial spaces too.

Adam, I spoke to the floor guy and he's also uses Bona Traffic which is reassuring. Thanks for the reference, I may contact Carlos for an estimate also.

hey there- I used Verazzano flooring, and it came out about that price. they did a phenomenal job, and the customer service was outstanding (never seen such professional people).

consider an estimate.

Those are NYC prices, which I assume is where you are. In NJ, I pay $2.25 sf for red oak select and $1.50 sf for installation, sanding, stain, and poly. May seem low, but that is going rate for 'non-retail' customers

AptBoy,

Where did you buy red oak select for $2.25? How many square feet did they install for $1.50 sq ft?

Lumber Liquidators has cheap red oak. Most places will match prices - trick is to pick up yourself.

$2.29 for over 1000 sqft.

nyc10023,

I am going to go there later this week to see what their select looks like. I have a feeling it will be less superior then the select grades I usual see but I hope it is the same, that would be great

Efloors has similar pricing, free shipping. I buy from Premier wood floors in Brooklyn, they match prices as well.

I just paid $4.50ish/sqft for rift and quarter sawn 5" red oak, select and better.

Premium wood floors, not premier.

Primer - P.C. Hardwood Floors www.pcwoodfloors.com Locations all over tri-state, buy in Newark and only 3.5% tax...our guy installs any amount for $1.50 sf, he doesn't speak English, so long as he makes $150/day, he is happy

Thanks Apt Boy,

I will go check them out in Maspeth.

Hard to believe with all of the storm damage, but flooring prices went down this week. Just got white oak for $1.99 sf...was quoted $2.15 for red
