Based on $4–$6.5 per sq ft (NerdWallet, 2026 national figures).

Treat the range as your sanity check. Quotes far below it usually mean corners — fewer finish coats, no proper edge sanding, or a crew that vanishes when something goes wrong. Quotes far above it deserve a written explanation of what, exactly, you’re paying extra for.
What moves a real quote up or down inside the range is explained on the refinishing cost page, and repair work is priced differently — see repair costs. When you want the real number for your actual floor, send the details and you’ll have it the same working day.
