Understanding what drives refinishing costs
Cost depends on your floor's condition, required repairs, layout complexity, and the level of quality you expect. We provide transparent estimates based on the actual work needed. It's never generic square footage pricing.
What we study before writing your proposal
Previous sandings, UV fade, pet stains, or cupping dictate how aggressive we can sand and how much prep time we plan.
Stabilizing loose boards, tightening subfloors, patching pet spots, and replacing damaged planks happen before the first drum pass.
Staircases, border inlays, floor vents, and room transitions are hand-detailed so lines stay crisp and colors blend seamlessly.
Bona waterborne, penetrating oil, or UV-cured finishes each carry different material costs, cure windows, and application steps.
Occupied homes, furniture handling, climate control, and containment plans add crew hours to keep your space livable.
Open concept rooms sand faster than hallways and nooks because complex layouts require more setups, edging, and blending passes.

Quality work takes time, skill, and proper materials
Assessing condition, identifying issues, and planning the right approach before work begins.
Multi-grit progression to achieve flatness without over-cutting or leaving swirl marks.
Careful sanding along walls and in corners without creating "picture framing" effects.
Professional-grade finishes that provide durability and long-lasting performance.
Allowing adequate cure time between coats instead of rushing to finish quickly.
Following industry standards and addressing issues as they arise, not cutting corners.
Delaware Valley Hardwoods works with one project at a time. We're selective about the work we take on and intentional about how it's done. We focus on homeowners who value craftsmanship and long-term results over the lowest possible price.
