Hi all,

We are in contract on a house in North Bellmore and am VERY excited to be posting as a (almost) homeowner instead of a renter.

The house we purchased has hardwood floors in almost all of the rooms. The 3 bedroom floors have wall to wall carpet over the hardwoods and the living/dining/kitchen all have pergo over the hardwood. We plan on ripping up the carpets and having a professional come in to refinish those as well as rip up the pergo (unless that's something we can do ourselves) and refinish those floors. We also have an addition which we are turning into a dining room which will need new floors installed.

My question is Does anyone have any idea what this might cost (ballpark of course?) The house is a typical Bellmore ranch with three bedrooms, 2 baths (one is ensuite) with the addition being the former garage. The current owners had that finished and put in a new garage in front of it. ANY ideas at all would be VERY helpful!

And finally if anyone has any recommendations for someone to do the work I really would appreciate it. We're probably not moving until June/July because of the sellers but would like to get some idea of how this is all going to play out.

Thanks so much for reading this ridiculously long post!
