I just bought my first place, so I’m new at all of this.

First order of business is refinishing the floors. If I want contractors to come give me estimates, say around September 5, how far in advance should I call them to schedule an appointment to get an estimate?

Also, how soon after giving me an estimate should the contractor be able to start the job?

I’m trying to get a realistic sense of timelines here so that I’m not asking contractors for the impossible.
