Refinishing hardwood floors DIY is a great idea, but will require good carpeting/labour experience. People often think that they can save a lot of money by refinishing their hardwood on their own. That is actually not the case. The maximum that you would save is 10-20% of the price. We say maximum, because often people spend more than what we would charge. Here’s the simple reason why – you will need to rent 2-3 professional refinishing tools that usually cost $69-120 a day per item. You’ll also need to buy stain, filler, finishes, repair material, sanding paper, etc. In addition, without the necessary experience, it will take twice the amount of time for you to do the work compared to our team. So while, yes, you may opt to take on this project yourself, you may actually get it done more efficiently and cost-effectively by hiring a local business with 10+ years of experience that purchases high-quality supplies directly from manufacturers.
