When I worked mostly on Staten Island, $6 per square foot is what I got for custom work...and all of it was custom. You can get work for as little as $1.25 if you shop around, but good luck with that. I think you probably can get what you want for about $5...Rubio Monocoat is fairly new, so it is custom work.

Good luck.

Thanks glennsfc - I was hoping you would respond to my question. Do you like the Rubio products? I hear great things about it. Our floors currently look like this and we want them to look more like that on the right. We are going to test of course. Any opinions on products. We are looking for a more natural finish to the floors, ie: shiny poly. ALSO should the price they give us include the materials or is that additional?
Thanks again!

The pricing you get should include all materials. Make sure that is so to avoid having a contractor give you a low ball price and then present you with additional costs after the job is complete. Unfortunately most flooring, regardless of what it is, gets marketed that way to entice the consumer to buy the product or service. Get something in writing that spells out what products will be used, how the job will be done and what the contractor will expect from you.

I have not worked with Rubio Monocoat yet, but colleagues love the concept and the visual results. To get your floors to look anything like the picture on the right is custom work. What is your time frame for the work, if I may ask?

Hi glennsfc - thanks so much for the info. We have some time to do the floors but for us the sooner the better. We have been living in a construction zone for over a year now with the kitchen Reno. Why do you ask? Do you know anyone you could recommend? I'm shocked we have had a few people come but no one has followed up with a proposal. Wednesday night we have someone new coming to look. Hopefully they want to do it.
Thanks again.

Oh...just toying with the idea of coming out of retirement! lol

Let me know how your search comes out.

Hi Glensfc-
We are still batting zero. But I did find another company that says they do the Rubio often in the city. I'll keep you posted if you need to dust off your sander & knee pads!

Thanks for your update. Hope the new company can at least show up. If you still bat zero...let me know.
