cost to refinish floor

It's about 1100sf, but what is relevant is about 900sf. The floor is decent but needs sanding, it's typical, but should be refinished. You don't want cheap but you don't want expensive.
Only 1 question - is the cat declawed / are you concerned about cat scratches or on the other hand the cat sliding all around the floor.

You should be able to find someone for $2 per sq ft

About $2500 with 1 coat stain and 2 coats sealer. The base molding will have to be touched up afterward so plan on that as part of the painting job you are also probably considering. You can do the floor first or paint first--no absolutely right or wrong, but if you paint first make sure the painter's contract includes him returning to touch up the base molding after floors are done.

thanks everyone. we don't have a cat. the cat refers to my son who loves caterpillar tractors, has several toys etc.

One other question, how long will this take? I assume the various layers need to dry?

Estimate one week for floors, at least that's what contractors have told me.

I think $2.00 a sq ft is on the low end. With Stain it usually is $3.00 sq ft. Kylewest as usual is close and he is right moldings will have to be touched up

thanks all!

Prefer Kubota

Kubota nice

are all these prices for empty apartments? if the baseboards needed touch ups, would that have to be done by another group of people? i ask because we would like our floors refinished, but not as a step in a gut renovation & all the furniture would need to be moved/moved back.. thanks in advance

any good referrals for this?

I have a great floor guy
