Plan, time and price a refinishing job.
The job
A 140 ft minimum for a 4:3 room of 1,200 sqft. Closets, islands and interior walls add to it — raise this to match the floor.
These are typical published planning figures, not FloorForge measurements. Replace them with what your crew actually does — that is the whole point of the field.

This column is a design target for hardware in development, not a measured result. No FloorForge machine has refinished a floor. It uses the same 50% figure as the ROI model on the homepage, from a single constant, so the two can never disagree. Validating it is the entire point of the pilot program.
How to read this. Crew time, materials and price are computed from your inputs and the planning assumptions on the left — they are arithmetic, not a FloorForge claim, and every input is yours to change. Published coverage figures vary by product and by crew; replace the defaults with your own numbers and the estimate becomes yours. Nothing here accounts for stairs, furniture, floor levelling, or water damage.
