what will it cost to have the floor refinished at $5.98 per square foot?

Q. wood floors are being refinished in an office. if the room is a 15 ft 6 in square, what will it cost to have the floor refinished at $5.98 per square foot?

A. You are saying 15 ft 6 in square so that is 15 1/2 X 15 1/2 = 240.25 sq so at 5.98 a sq it would be about $1436.00


Good Luck :)

What's the best way to clean hardwood floors?

Q. We recently had our hardwood floors refinished and want to preserve them. Is there one particualr cleaner/polisher that is recommended? I checked at our local hardware store and there seems to be a pletheora of products but not sure which one to use for general cleaning that won't cause build up or cause the finish to erode. Thank you

A. I just found a product that works well. It is Bona Swedish Formula hardwood floor cleaner. You spray a small area of floor with the cleaner, then wipe it with a swiffer-like floor cloth. I bought a kit that included the swiffer-like item (the cloth can be removed for laundering) and the cleaner. Its is recommended for finished floors, with a unwaxed finish.

How dusty is refinishing hardwood floors?

Q. I am planning on having my hardwood floors refinished and I keep hearing horror stories from coworkers who've had their floors redone. They went through the process 10+ years ago and I am not sure if things have changed. I will be living in the house while it's being done (with the exception of a couple of days) and am wondering what to expect. Will I be dusting for months just to get it under control? Will I have to clean off the walls because dust has settled on the wall texture (yes, I've gotten that story!)? Any information or recent personal experiences you can offer would be much appreciated. Thank you!

A. Face it girl Your house will get dust all over. No matter if the contractor uses vac bags or not. No matter if he/she closes off the bottoms of the doorways with towels or rags. You will be cleaning dust for days!!!!! It can't be avoided. Just as a messy kitchen can't be avoided if you are gonna cook Thanksgiving dinner. I have been through this a few times. First off there was no bags no vac no prep for the mess, next time I insisted in the Vac bags rags, at doorways, and extra men cleaning as the lead man was sanding. It doesn't matter, the dust will get out and about. It will minimize the damage but if you got to dust everything it doesn't matter if the dust is just a tiny bit you still got to clean it right? And off of everything.
Just be prepared, Wrap valuables with plastic, cover furniture with sheets, and have plenty of bags for your Hoover!!!!And believe me You will have to clean dust off of everything more than once. I used a gas powered blower to get the fisrt inch of dust out, opened all the windows and doors and cranked up the ole homelite.
