Some say you can only claim home improvements and not home repairs when filing your taxes. Is resurfacing wood floors an improvement or a repair? I mean, we really did not repair anything. The floors were in good shape. A few scratches here and there. But they weren’t shiny and have different hue’s of brown.
On all our wood floors (living room and all 3 bedrooms), we did tedious buffing and applied 3 coats of polyurethane.

I would say NO! A deductible for tax purposes would be installing insulation. new thermo windows or doors, or any energy efficient product. You can claim the cost of re-finishing your floors when you sell your house as an improvement against the purchase price.
No… sorry. Resurfacing wood floors is a repair, no matter what the floors looked like. Now if you’d had to re-do them due to fire, that would be another story.
Sorry, can’t claim your labors…no matter how tedious.
Good luck…
