About Woodsmith Hardwood Floors

Our Story
At Woodsmith Hardwood Floors, quality and communication have always been at the core of what we do. Owner and President, Ward Braun, took over the business in 2007, bringing a fresh perspective and a renewed commitment to excellence. With Ward at the helm, Woodsmith Hardwood has entered a new era, placing a strong emphasis on customer care, craftsmanship, and integrity.
Ward’s philosophy is simple: treat customers the way you would want to be treated. He understands that hardwood floor refinishing isn’t a project homeowners or business owners take on frequently. Often, it's a one-time investment that requires careful thought and guidance, something Woodsmith Hardwood is proud to provide every step of the way.
“I’ll often spend 15 minutes at the property with the client just ensuring we understand their expectations,” says Ward. “Trust is important, since we are in our customers’ homes and places of business. We always ensure not to leave a mess and ensure everything is up to their standards.”
