Pricing depends on several factors:
Project Size. Larger areas reduce the cost per square foot.
House Layout. Open spaces are easier, but many rooms increase labor costs.
Wood Type. Prefinished wood is more durable but tougher to sand, making it pricier than unfinished.
Wood Species. Oak is budget-friendly; maple is more complex and expensive.
Stain or Clear Coat. Staining (especially dark) adds to labor and cost.
Finish Type. One-component finishes are cheaper, while commercial-grade two-component finishes are more expensive.
Oil vs. Water-Based. Water-based finishes usually cost more than oil.
Floor Level. Upper floors increase costs due to extra labor (especially without elevators).
