Hardwood Floors in West U Homes
West U’s remaining original homes from the 1930s and 1940s typically have 2¼-inch red or white oak strip floors. Many of the newer custom homes built since the 1990s have site-finished wide-plank white oak or premium engineered flooring on slab.
Site-finished white oak in modern homes shows wear lanes and pet scratches quickly with today’s popular matte, natural finishes — a screen-and-recoat every few years keeps them looking new.

Hardwood floor repair in West University Place: FAQs
Is refinishing hardwood floors worth it before selling a West U home?
Usually, yes. Refinished hardwood photographs well and signals a well-maintained home. Refinishing costs a fraction of new flooring and can often be completed in 3–5 days before listing photos.
Can you fix pet scratches on matte white oak floors?
Light scratches that are only in the finish are removed with a screen-and-recoat. Scratches into the wood need a full sand and refinish, and deep gouges or stains may need individual board replacement.
How much does hardwood floor repair cost in West University Place?
Most hardwood floor repairs in West University Place cost $250–$1,500 depending on the damage. Replacing a few boards typically runs $350–$750, squeak repairs $200–$800, and full sanding and refinishing $3–$8 per square foot. Estimates are free.
