Hardwood Floor Refinishing Cost Estimate Calculator

Step 1: Measure the project area in square feet.

Step 2: Note the fixed costs for labor, additional materials, and equipment rental.

Step 3: Add the fixed costs for labor, additional materials, and equipment rental.

Step 4: Calculate the total cost and cost per square foot.

Formula: $$\text{Total Cost} = (\text{Labor Cost per sq ft} + \text{Materials Cost per sq ft}) \times \text{Area} + \text{Equipment Rental Cost}$$

Formula: $$\text{Cost per Square Foot} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Area}}$$

Let's say you have a hardwood floor refinishing area of 100 sq ft, with fixed costs for labor, materials, and equipment rental.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost range:

$$\text{Total Cost Min} = (3 + 1) \times 100 + 50 = 450$$

$$\text{Total Cost Max} = (7 + 2) \times 100 + 75 = 975$$

Step 2: Calculate the cost per square foot:

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Min} = \frac{450}{100} = 4.50$$

$$\text{Cost per Square Foot Max} = \frac{975}{100} = 9.75$$

So, the total cost range is $450 - $975, and the cost per square foot range is $4.50 - $9.75.
