minor damage to personal property by a friend

[ann2012]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
a couple had a party to show friends a house they have bought.
During the party the hardwood floor in the living room was minorly damaged by ladies high hills. Some dentures in the floor around the seating area precisly.
Now this couple, wants to hire a lawyer for the damage of the floor in case the person wearing high hills won't pay.
What is reasonable? replacement of the floor? repair of the floor? going further to a lawyer?

People wear heels to a party. A floor is made to be walked on...yes, even by people with heels on. It seems to me that the hardwood floors were defective.

Ladies high hills? My mind was sure in the gutter on that one.

My mental picture was of guests attempting to gum down the hors d'oeuvres, their "dentures" being embedded in the floor.
