Our company charges around 2.50 a square foot with a $400 minimum to sand, stain and finish floors. (2 coats Glitsa seal +1 coat Glitsa)
But we are probably one of the highest priced in our area.

Check for wax buildup. If you regularly use a wax on your floor, it may neep to be stripped off. Waxing over time dulls the finish of your floor. Waxing should only be done twice a year, but a lot of people end up doing it more often. There are commercially available products that can help you remove the wax buildup from your floor.Make sure you aren't mopping a dirty floor.Before you attempt to use any type of a wet mop on a engineered hardwood floor, the floor needs to be thoroughly swept or vacuumed. Leaving dirt and particles on the floor to be mixed around with a wet mop will leave streaks, scratches, and residue on the floor. A thorough sweeping and vacuum job is necessary to a shiny end result. If you do decide to sweep, use a dust mop to avoid scratching your floor with a broom.
