HARDWOOD FLOOR SERVICE
Repairs & Patching
We repair damaged boards, scratches, and stained areas while keeping the surrounding floor.
IS THIS THE RIGHT SERVICE?
Start with what you’re seeing.
We look for the cause of the damage as well as the repair itself. For water damage or movement, we discuss the underlying issue before doing finish work. We explain how replacement boards may differ from wood that has aged in your home.
You have damaged or stained boards in one area
You notice loose boards or squeaks
You have deep gouges in the wood
You need an assessment after a leak

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
What homeowners usually ask.
We assess the species, width, and condition, then look for suitable material. Reclaimed or custom boards may be an option. We explain the available match before you approve the work.
We quote after inspecting the damage. The number of boards, material availability, and finishing area affect the price.
You may see differences in grain or color. We work to blend the repair and discuss matching limits before starting.
We assess the wood and the extent of the damage. We discuss the moisture problem and drying requirements before deciding which boards to keep or replace.
You will need to care for the repaired area along with the rest of the floor. We provide instructions for the finish we use and discuss any issues that could cause further damage.
PLAN YOUR PROJECT
Should You Repair or Replace Damaged Hardwood Boards?
Check the damage and moisture history with a contractor. Discuss whether boards need replacement and how much of the floor needs a new finish.
