I have hardwood floors but don’t want to paling them and don’t have time to sand down and refinish.

BUTthat seems like a SUPER skinny budget.A kitchen full rehab should be about 17K to 20K for a nice kitchen (for a house ARV of about 200K to 300K) and over 25K for a kitchen worth being in a $400K+ house.Sanding and refinishing wood floors.

If it’s scratched up a little, it’ll be hard to charge them $2000 to refinish the floors.

Remove radiator add baseboard, or add forced hot air to the system, new floors/refinish. new kitchen and bathroom.

I found it and manage it.Some slight improvements over the years but not much:-painted cabinets-refinished wood floors-retiled tub/shower walls-new water heater What was the outcome?

Refinishing hardwood floors is not as hard as you would expect if you have the correct tools (get the sander, edger and buffer worth the time it will save you!)

Cabinets refinished, granite, new appliances, and some new lighting. 

I received a couple quotes to get them sanded and refinished but unfortunately they are coming in well over my budgeted amount I'm looking to spend.

If the house has hardwood flooring, I would have it professionally refinished with polyurethane topcoat, ceramic tile in kitchen and bath, formica counter tops, painted cabinets if current cabinets are in good condition but if in really bad shape it can be better to tear them out and go with pre-painted white cabinets.

We got the cabinets from a former tenant and refinished them with rustoleum cabinet transformations kit in "kona" and my husband built the counters and finished with daich spreadstone.
