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
Assess a maintenance coat separately for open flooring and stair components; their condition and coating history may differ.
Natural full refinish
Include suitable treads and landings explicitly when a full sanding project extends beyond the main room.
Custom stain & refinish
Compare stair and room samples together, recognizing that different wood can respond differently to stain.
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 Kirkland floor.
A Kirkland refinishing project can involve more than the main room. Wills Flooring reviews connected stairs, landings and hallway boundaries so the estimate explains where the work continues and how access will be managed.
Book a Call Now
Assess the existing wood
Inspect stair treads and landings separately from open flooring. Their construction, prior finish and damage can call for different preparation.

Define the written scope
Specify treads, risers, nosing and landings individually where included. Railing changes and structural repairs need a separately agreed scope.

Plan access and return to use
Explain whether the staircase is the only route to bedrooms or an exit. Plan restricted access through preparation, coating and the required cure.
Sanding, repairs and finish choices for Kirkland.
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

Map the rooms and stair sections included in the project.
Assess and sand suitable wood

Assess usable wood on treads and landings before choosing sanding or recoating.
Resolve the agreed repairs

Review worn noses, damaged boards and repairs beyond the coating itself.
Finish the edges and boundaries

Plan the finishing boundaries beside painted risers, railings and retained trim.
Approve stain where selected

Compare the stair sample with the adjoining floor before approving stain.
Apply the specified finish

Confirm the permitted use of each stair and landing after the finish is applied.

Choose the finish with its care in mind.
A coordinated stair and floor finish should still account for different wood and exposure. Keep the approved stain, sheen and return-to-use instructions together for both parts of the project.

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 Kirkland
Are stairs included in a Kirkland floor-refinishing estimate?
Only when they are identified in the scope. Treads, risers and landings need their own review and are not automatically included in measured open floor area.
Can stair treads match the newly refinished room?
We can compare the wood and samples, but different species, age and wear may affect the match. Review the expected blend before choosing stain.
Can painted risers stay while the treads are refinished?
Discuss protection and the edge work at each connection. Any removal or paint touch-up should be assigned in the project scope.
What if the staircase is my only upstairs access?
Bring that constraint into the scheduling discussion early. You may need another arrangement while preparation, coating and curing restrict use.
Will refinishing repair a damaged stair nose?
A damaged component may need repair or replacement before finishing. Have the actual condition assessed instead of treating new coating as a structural repair.
When can the stairs be used normally again?
Follow the instructions for the selected finish and project conditions. Separate careful permitted access from normal traffic, pets and other loads.
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.
