depends

All depends if it is large enough an area to justify "sq.ft" bidding. Most are too small, so an hourly rate (private though, no need to discuss with homeowner)makes more sense.
Also, will there be people; kids; pets around? Probably some stairs too to deal with. Homes usually have nice wood baseboards instead of vinyl cove base that commercial buildings have so extra care needs to be done when doing edges too. All adds up to charging more.

Ps
take off the mask

That makes good sense. Why didn't i think of that?
If it hasn't been finished before, is there any need for stripping?

Thanks Mike thats great idea.

if it is well worn and walked on, i would say the "factory" finish is gone and you probably could get away with a detergent. I would use a weak stripper solution though, just make sure it's a low-odor formula.
