I have Bruce flooring that has received some minor water damage. The finish has come off, but the wood looks fine. Can we just sand it down with a hand sander and reapply a clear finish? This would just be a quick temporary fix since we are looking at replacing the flooring in the whole room in a few years.

Sure, as long as it’s real wood and not a laminate or veneer.
beuce makes a line of cleaners and refinishers for their floors, urethane or wax. i think you want fresh finis, but check with your lumberyard or go to the bruce web site to be sure. you shouldn’t havr to go to all that.
if it’s prefinished you could replace the boards but it would be ok to sand the stains and a light coat of finish would be fine
the cost to refinish the room is not verry costly 2.50 sf
but to replace could be 7.00 sf
