Questions
Does refinishing really pay back?
In the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report by the National Association of REALTORS® and the remodeling industry, refinishing hardwood floors was estimated to recover about 147% of its cost at resale. That is a national estimate, not a promise for your house; the guide explains how to decide for yours.
Is it only for Washington?
No. It works anywhere in the US. Washington’s seller disclosure statement is used as the example; your agent will give you your state’s form.
