DH and I just pulled up the carpet in our bedroom and found hardwood floors in pretty good condition ...but they would have to be refinished. How much does this cost?? and if you have had it done can anyone recommend someone.
Thanks.

Re: refinishing hardwood floors???
We just paid about $400 for a living room, hallway and smaller bedroom. And they look fantastic! FM me if you are interested in the contact info.
ETA info:
We paid $440 to be exact and the rooms were empty - no furniture - not sure if that makes a difference.

Yep, they sanded and poly'd them. Here is what I just FM'd someone this morning:
We decided to get one more room done. The room is 11 x 12 and that's 132 square feet and it's $1.35 per square foot if I'm correct, and it will total about $178 for that room to give you an idea of how they figure out the price. Any questions - just ask. And they can lighten the color, darken, etc.
ETA: Here are two pics - they really don't do justice. Image Attachment(s):

I used Aliperti & Sons (and was completely thrilled with the results and their professionalism) and it was $2.50/square foot. If you want a stain (which we did in one room) it's an additional $1/square foot. Steps were $25/step and an additional $10 if they are stained. I opted for a semi-gloss finish b/c I'm not a fan of the hi-gloss look...I like to see the grains.

Bedroom floor after - was stained "Special Walnut"...
We kept the rest of the house a natural color...

Re: refinishing hardwood floors???
Mine were done years ago by P&G Flooring. I don't know the # off hand, but it was a 631 #. I recommended them to so many people, they really did an awesome job on our floors. They had to sand the floors down so much, they were pretty bad, but the end results were amazing. I wish I had taken before pics, but here are some afters:
My son's room:
living room:
The nursery while we were working on it 2 years ago:
ETA: we did our whole upper level (a hi-ranch) and we paid $1.50/sq. ft. back in 2000-2001.
