    The thing to remember with refinishing hardwood, is that you don't just refinish a small area, you refinish ALL uninterrupted floors. So the difference between replacing a cracked tile and refinishing your entire ground floor is likely substantial. If the sanders don't do a good job, you'll be painting base trim as well.

    Truth! We were evaced for 6 days due to wildfire. Power was out so the icemaker in the fridge melted, ruining a 6 square foot section of oak flooring. Since it's all connected, and covered by insurance, they refinished about 900 sq ft. We had to evac for another couple days during the sanding and varnishing. Looks and feels great, likely will last another 25 years or more. But I'd consider a modern option if we ever have to rebuild.
