The turnover decision

Floor when the tenant leaves Likely route Typical rate
Dull but intact Screen and recoat $2–$4 per sq ft
Worn paths, small stains Sand and refinish $6–$11 per sq ft with wear paths added
Pet damage, deep scratches Sand, with board repair About $6.50–$13 per sq ft with wear and pet damage added
Water damage Dry, repair or replace See the water-damage page

With a vacancy of a few days, the schedule matters as much as the price. A recoat fits a short gap; a full sanding needs a week or more with the finish maker's times.

Durable finishes and hard species

Landlords tend to choose matte or satin sheens, which hide scratches better, and finishes the maker rates for traffic. No wood floor is scratch-proof, and the lease decides who pays for wear beyond normal use. A pet policy matters here, since pet nails and urine are the common causes of deep damage.

Security deposits and the lease

Wear, damage and deposit deductions follow the lease and California law; this site does not give legal advice. Photos at move-in and move-out and a written description of the floor make the decision easier for everyone.

Rental Property Floor Refinishing — common questions

Does the landlord or the tenant pay for floor wear?

The lease and California law decide. Normal wear is generally the owner's cost; damage beyond it may be charged to the tenant.

Step 1 Range —
    Which floor is it?

    Install a new floor, refinish or repair an existing one, or a business or rental floor.

    How big is the floor?

    Typical: an open main floor, about 600 square feet.

    Measure wall to wall; length × width in feet gives the square feet.

    Which floor or service?

    Typical: engineered standard plank, the most common new floor in slab-on-grade homes.

    What is under the new floor?

    Typical: wood subfloor. If it is a slab, the installer picks glue-down or floating.

    Anything to remove first?

    Typical: carpet and pad, the floor most older Torrance homes have on top.

    Anything extra? optional

    Skip if none apply; a moisture test follows any slab.

    How big is the floor?

    Typical: an open main floor, about 600 square feet.

    Which floor or service?
