Hardwood refinishing cost.
Clear starting points.
Your floor’s condition determines the right approach. We assess the wood and explain the scope before you commit.
Screen & recoat
Light surface scuffs may suit a maintenance coat when the old finish is sound and compatible.
Natural full refinish
Full sanding can address suitable worn wood, while deep pet staining or damaged boards need separate assessment.
Custom stain & refinish
A color change should follow repair decisions; dark stain is not a substitute for resolving damaged wood.
Published starting prices with a 500-square-foot minimum. Repairs, stairs, furniture, stain choices, and other project-specific work can affect the total. Your written estimate confirms preparation, finish coats, dust containment, timing, and warranty.
Find the right option for my floorA refinishing plan for your Brier floor.
Pet traffic and everyday use can leave several different kinds of wear on a Brier wood floor. Wills Flooring checks whether the concern is in the coating or deeper in the wood before recommending a maintenance coat, sanding or board repair.

Assess the existing wood
Point out scratches, dark marks and any known accidents. Surface appearance alone does not reveal how far a stain or moisture problem extends.

Define the written scope
Separate routine finish renewal from damaged-board replacement. Include the areas around pet gates and furniture that need closer inspection.

Plan access and return to use
Arrange a pet-free route and resting area before work starts. Keep animals away through the finish’s specified return-to-use period.
Sanding, repairs and finish choices for Brier.
Full refinishing removes the old coating from wood that can safely support sanding. A compatible maintenance coat follows a different preparation process. The agreed service and your floor’s condition determine which steps are needed.
Prepare rooms and access

Photograph problem areas and clear pet equipment from the agreed work zone.
Assess and sand suitable wood

Evaluate usable wood before deciding how much existing finish can be removed.
Resolve the agreed repairs

Review deeply stained boards separately; sanding cannot guarantee that every mark will disappear.
Finish the edges and boundaries

Inspect corners and gate locations where repeated contact has worn through the coating.
Approve stain where selected

Approve a sample for the desired tone without treating dark stain as a repair for damaged wood.
Apply the specified finish

Confirm cleaning and pet-access instructions for the finish actually applied.

Choose the finish with its care in mind.
No hardwood finish is scratch-proof. Compare sheen and care alongside wear resistance, then use compatible furniture protection, routine grit removal and prompt spill cleanup to support the finished floor.

A sound wood floor may be worth retaining when a suitable recoat or refinish meets your goals. If the material cannot be restored or you want a different floor, compare the preparation, finished height and room access for replacement.

Hardwood refinishing questions in Brier
Can refinishing remove pet stains from my Brier floor?
It depends on their depth and the wood’s condition. Some discoloration can remain after sanding, and affected boards may need replacement. The cause must be addressed first.
Will a darker stain hide all pet damage?
No. Stain changes color but does not repair weakened boards, contamination or deep damage. Review repairs before relying on a darker appearance.
When can pets return after the final coat?
Use the return-to-use guidance for the exact finish and project conditions. Permission for light foot traffic does not automatically include pets or normal household use.
Is a maintenance coat enough for claw scratches?
It may help light wear in a sound, compatible coating. Scratches into bare wood need a different assessment and may call for sanding or localized repair.
Should I show old water-bowl locations at the estimate?
Yes. Share known spills and discolored areas so moisture and board condition can be reviewed before finishing is proposed.
Which sheen is best for a home with pets?
Compare actual samples and the product’s care requirements. Sheen changes how wear is seen, but no sheen makes wood immune to scratches.
Does dust-controlled sanding mean there is no dust?
No. Dust collection reduces sanding dust but does not guarantee zero airborne dust. Review room protection, cleanup and ventilation as part of the agreed project plan.
What workmanship warranty comes with refinishing?
Wills Flooring advertises a one-year workmanship warranty. Request the written coverage, exclusions and claim instructions with your estimate. Any manufacturer product warranty is separate.
