If you\u2019re not a do-it-yourselfer, you\u2019ll want to hire a professional to refinish your hardwood floors. Hardwood floor refinishing can be difficult if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, and hiring a professional greatly reduces the risk of costly mistakes. <\/p>\n
Most professionals charge anywhere from $3 to $5 per square foot for basic refinishing. For a 15×15 room, that works out to $675 to $1,125. The price varies based on your location and the condition of the floors. <\/p>\n
Contractors charge extra for stairs because they are difficult to refinish. Plan on paying as much as $25 to $45 per stair. Most professionals also charge extra for rush jobs, working on the weekends or floors that are in very rough shape. <\/p>\n

Over time, even the highest-quality hardwood floors show signs of wear and tear. Scratches and scuffs start to appear and high-traffic areas look dull and worn. Refinishing your floors can make tired hardwoods look new again. <\/p>\n
There are many steps to the process. First, the floor needs to be cleaned and prepped, then you need to sand off the original finish using a drum sander. The next step in vacuuming the floor and tacking it with a microfiber cloth to remove all dust. When it comes time to apply the finish, use a paint brush to stain around the trim and then apply the rest of the stain with a roller.<\/p>\n
Budget about $200 for supplies. You\u2019ll have to rent a drum sander from a local hardware or home improvement store. Then there\u2019s the cost of stain, rollers and cloths. <\/p>\n
