What We Repair
- Damaged or split boards — replaced with matched wood and feathered into the surrounding floor.
- Pet stains and dark spots — sanded out when possible, replaced when not.
- Water-damaged sections — cupped, crowned, or buckled boards repaired or swapped.
- Squeaks and loose boards — re-fastened from above or below as appropriate.
- Gaps and separation — addressed based on cause (seasonal vs. structural).
- Deep scratches and gouges — filled, sanded, and refinished in the affected zone.
Repair, Refinish, or Replace?
Many homeowners assume bad-looking floors need replacement. They often don't. Cosmetic damage usually comes off in a refinish; structural issues (delamination, severe cupping, subfloor problems) sometimes don't. We give you an honest read at the walk-through.
What to Expect
- Free in-home assessment and quote.
- Source matching wood (species, grade, board width).
- Remove damaged boards, prep subfloor, install replacements.
- Sand, stain, and finish the repaired area to blend with the rest of the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a few damaged boards be replaced without refinishing the whole floor?
Yes. We can swap boards and blend the finish in a localized area. Depending on the age and color match, we'll either spot-finish or refinish the room for an even look.
My floor has gaps in the winter and closes up in summer. Is that normal?
Yes — that's seasonal movement and usually doesn't require a repair. If gaps stay year-round or are unusually wide, the floor may need attention.
How quickly can you start repairs?
Most small repairs can be scheduled within a couple of weeks. Larger projects depend on the season and material availability.
Can you fix water damage?
Often, yes. The fix depends on how long the floor was wet and how deep the damage goes. See our water damage page for details.
