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
A recoat is an option only if the exposed floor retains a suitable, compatible finish after covering removal.
Natural full refinish
Assess newly uncovered wood, fastener damage and old residues before defining a safe full-sanding scope.
Custom stain & refinish
Choose a stain after the exposed boards and repairs are reviewed, with realistic expectations for old marks.
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.

Assess the existing wood
Share photos after a suitable inspection area is exposed. The condition under one corner may not represent the entire room.

Define the written scope
Separate covering removal, disposal and floor repairs from sanding and finishing. Identify who handles any material that needs specialist assessment.

Plan access and return to use
Allow for inspection after the covering is removed. The final repair scope may depend on conditions that were concealed during the first visit.
Sanding, repairs and finish choices for Kenmore.
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

Define removal responsibilities and protect adjoining rooms before exposing the wood.
Assess and sand suitable wood

Check the floor construction, remaining wear layer and old surface residues.
Resolve the agreed repairs

Inspect tack-strip holes, missing boards and patched utility openings.
Finish the edges and boundaries

Review transitions where retained carpet or another surface meets the exposed hardwood.
Approve stain where selected

Test the achievable appearance after suitable preparation rather than guessing through the old coating.
Apply the specified finish

Confirm the finish and care plan after the restoration scope is established.

Choose the finish with its care in mind.
An uncovered floor may retain evidence of its earlier use even after careful refinishing. Discuss the acceptable character, repair blend and finish choice before treating restoration as a guaranteed like-new result.

Hardwood refinishing questions in Kenmore
Can hardwood under carpet be refinished in a Kenmore home?
Possibly. The boards, usable wear layer, old finish and concealed damage need assessment after enough of the surface can be inspected.
Will tack-strip holes disappear during sanding?
Some may need filling or board repair, and their final appearance varies. Identify the affected perimeter in the estimate rather than assuming sanding alone removes every mark.
Can old adhesive simply be sanded off?
The residue and underlying materials need appropriate assessment first. Unknown layers may require specialist handling; do not begin sanding them based only on appearance.
Can a first visit establish every repair under the carpet?
No. Concealed conditions may only become clear after removal. Ask how the inspection, additional findings and approval of repairs will be handled.
Should carpet removal be part of the refinishing quote?
It should be clearly included or excluded, along with disposal and fastener removal. Align those responsibilities when comparing estimates.
What if the exposed wood cannot be safely sanded?
Discuss a compatible recoat, selective repair or replacement where appropriate. The remaining wood and finish condition determine which alternatives are realistic.
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.
