Hardwood floor service
Repairs & Patching
Fix isolated scratches, gouges, water damage, pet stains, and damaged boards without replacing the whole floor.
Repairs & Patching
Don't replace your entire floor for isolated damage. We repair scratches, gouges, water damage, pet stains, and damaged boards, then blend the repair with the surrounding floor as closely as the wood and finish allow. The goal is to preserve as much original flooring as possible while stopping the damage from spreading.

Accidents happen, but isolated damage does not always mean the entire floor needs to be replaced. We address single damaged boards, pet stains, water damage, gaps, squeaks, and deep scratches by matching the wood species, width, grain, and finish as closely as possible. Some repairs disappear almost completely; others become far less noticeable while preserving the original floor and avoiding the cost of full replacement.

Our Detailed Process
Damage Assessment
We inspect the damaged area to determine the extent of the problem and the best repair approach. We identify the wood species, grade, and finish to ensure perfect matching. We also check for underlying issues (moisture, structural problems) that need addressing.
Material Matching
We source matching wood that matches your existing floor in species, grade, width, and grain pattern. For older floors, we may need to mill custom boards or source reclaimed materials. We also match the finish color and sheen.
Preparation
We prepare the work area, protecting surrounding floors and furniture. For board replacement, we carefully remove damaged boards without damaging adjacent ones. For surface repairs, we prepare the area for treatment or filling.
Repair Execution
We perform the specific repair: replacing boards, treating stains, filling gaps, or stabilizing squeaks. Each repair is done with care so the new work sits cleanly with the surrounding floor. We use techniques passed down through three generations of craftsmanship.
Finishing & Blending
We sand, stain (if needed), and finish the repaired area to match your existing floor. This may involve custom color matching and multiple finish coats. We ensure the sheen, color, and texture match perfectly.
Final Inspection
We inspect the repair from multiple angles and lighting conditions to ensure it's virtually invisible. We check that the repair is level, stable, and properly finished. We provide care instructions for the repaired area.
