Cost: wood floor renovation and refinishing
Assessment, repair extent and finishing system determine the budget. Compare the same work including edges, furniture, protection and return to use. No local average or automatic saving against replacement is established here.
Editorial update on 18 September 2026
Separate intervention levels
Compare finish maintenance, surface renewal and sanding to bare wood as separate scenarios. Price repairs before finishing. An area rate alone does not identify included repairs.
Describe finishing and peripheral work
Record product, trial, colour, edges, thresholds, skirting, furniture and protection. Clarify final cleaning and reservations about stains or visible repairs. Cost does not follow coat count alone.
Check tax and quote terms
Reduced VAT is not automatic. Guichet.lu explains housing, work and AED procedure conditions. Request the applicable rate, net and gross amounts and prior approval for extras. Distinguish a tax benefit from a grant.

Frequently asked questions
Does sanding remove every stain?
No. Clarify limits and areas that may need repair or remain marked.
Can a floor be renewed without full sanding?
Sometimes, depending on condition and compatibility. Preparation and testing may be necessary.
Does lacquer waterproof the floor?
Do not equate it with room waterproofing. Follow use and cleaning conditions.
Must I leave the property?
Scope, access, products and protection determine that. Agree occupancy arrangements before work.
Is reduced VAT included automatically?
No. Confirm the conditions and procedure for your case before using that rate.
