Before we repair
We find out why the floor failed.
A repair only lasts if the cause is gone. Before we replace a board we take moisture readings in the wood and the subfloor, look for leaks and check the subfloor around the damage. If we find hidden damage, we stop, show you and get your approval before any added cost.
Subfloor damage found during a job, fixed before new boards went down.

FAQ
Questions about floor repair.
Can you replace just a few boards?
Yes. We cut out the damaged boards and weave in new ones of the same species and width. On site-finished floors the area is then sanded and finished so it blends with the rest of the floor.
Will the repair match my floor?
We match species, width and stain as closely as possible. The best blend comes when the repaired area and the floor around it are refinished together; we will tell you at the visit which option fits your floor.
Can water-damaged hardwood be saved?
Sometimes. Lightly cupped boards can flatten once the wood dries out. Boards that are swollen, soft or stained black need to be replaced. We first find and stop the moisture source, then check readings in the wood and the subfloor.
Do you fix squeaky floors?
Yes. Squeaks usually come from boards or subfloor that have moved. We secure loose boards and fix the subfloor where we can reach it.
Do you repair pet stains?
Light surface marks often sand out. Deep urine stains go into the wood, so those boards are replaced and the area is finished to blend.
