How to Use the Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost Calculator
- Enter Room Dimensions – Input the Length and Width of your room in feet (e.g., 20 and 15). Use decimal values for partial feet.
- Select Floor Condition – Choose from Good (light sanding), Average (standard), or Poor (heavy sanding). This affects the sanding cost per square foot.
- Choose Finish Type – Pick Oil-based, Water-based, or Lacquer. Each has a different cost per square foot.
- Add Optional Services – Check Staining ($1.50/sq ft) or Minor Repairs ($1.00/sq ft) if needed.
- Calculate – Click the Calculate Cost button. The result shows a breakdown: area, sanding, finishing, staining, repair costs, and the total.
Note: All inputs must be positive numbers. The calculator uses imperial units (feet). The formula is: Total = Area × (Sanding Rate + Finish Rate) + Additional Services.
