I got a quote to refinish the floors for $3200 or $2.50/sq ft.

I'm not sure about carpet or laminate, but for hardwood installs and refinishing we just used Mister Sandman Flooring here in Chattanooga and would highly recommend them.

some hardwood floor you can refinish.

I had to rehab my house as well, not a gut job but it was out dated.Honestly, by the time it was done being refinished by myself and friends It was about time to find tenants.

Refinished hardwoods throughout.

Good luck and congrats on your first property The contractor thinks that the cabinets aren't too bad and can be refinished.

I pay $10-$12 / hour ; I plan the renovations, supervise the work, purchase materials, and just hire contractors for "behind the valve" plumbing , "behind the wall" electrical, or hardwood floor refinishing.

If its real wood you might be able to sand down and refinish. 

I have only owned the house for a year or so but I am already getting confident in re-finishing the basement. 

I have done a lot of upgrades to this 1928 Portland house including new roof, new kitchen, new bathroom, refinished wood floors on the main, rebuilt garage and new deck with landscaping.
