Refinishing hardwood floors?

Now that most of our renovations are done our poor floors are in rough shape. Has anyone had their floors redone? Was it $$? DO you have a company that you can recommend?

Thanks!!

We got a terrific price from our contractor--- 1.40 per square foot for sanding the floors back to the original color and 2 coats of polyurethane. I would definitely shop the job as I have heard of 3.00 per square foot as well!Chat Icon He is also removing and discarding all the carpet in the house- and doing this for 2,400 square feet, including the stairs. He is doing a lot of other work in our house so I think we got a break.

I can't recommend anyone because our guy doesn't do it any longer. But, I can give you advice. If you want shiny and want it to hold up for years, do a minimum of 3 coats of poly. That's what we have and they come out beautiful everytime we clean them up.

I had my entire house done (4 bedroom colonial) with Moisture Cure poly, some repair work done and 5 coats (yes I am a nut but it looks like I have a glass top on my floor) for $3K cash. The house was completely empty so it was a bit easier. It took two weeks to do because of the time in between coats and the sanding involved after coat 2 and 4.

I'll ask FH who did ours. We were lucky and they were in great shape so we didn't even have to stain them but we had them use a new acrylic coat instead of a poly. It lasts like 10 years or something.

We used an independent person (not a large company). We had our LR, hall, and DR done (not sure of the square footage-a pretty large LR but a small hall and DR) at $450. They were sanded and 2 coats of poly.
