How can I cheaply refresh parquet in an apartment?

How much does it cost to replace around 25 ft2 of parquet flooring?

• The current floorboards had been soaked with water and damaged and I had taken most of them off the cement floor. This is the imitation wood type flooring found in many apartment buildings with four slots of wood going left right then four up and down pattern. How much is it going to cost to replace 25 ft2 of the product and have a guy glue it to the cement?

• Answer:

  With the flooring and labor I would say you would be looking at about $200-$300. Then it would probably be a good idea to refinish the entire are to get it all to match up good. Refinishing would run about $2-$3 per square foot. If the rest of the floors are in really good shape you could also possibly have the area patched in and then have all of the floors buffed and recoated. this procedure is usually $1 per square foot. http://www.rhodeshardwoodflooring.com
