1
Wood Floor Scratch and Dent Repair
We repair everything from surface-level scratches to deep dents caused by furniture, pets, or heavy foot traffic. Using wood fillers, sanding, and color blending, we restore the damaged areas to match the surrounding finish, leaving no visible trace.
2
Spot Repairs and Partial Refinishing
Instead of sanding the entire floor, we carefully repair only the affected sections. This approach is ideal for isolated damage like dropped items, burn marks, or chipped finishes, and ensures the repaired area blends naturally with the rest of the floor.
3
Water-Damage Wood Floor Restoration
We assess and repair warping, cupping, or buckling caused by leaks, flooding, or spills. This may involve drying the subfloor, replacing damaged planks, and refinishing the surface to prevent mold, rot, or long-term structural issues.
4
Individual Floorboard Replacement
When one or more boards are too damaged to repair, we remove and replace them with matching wood planks. We take care to align the grain and color tone so the replacement boards are virtually indistinguishable from the original flooring.
5
Stain and Discoloration Removal
Pet accidents, plant pots, water spots, and chemical spills can all leave unsightly stains. We use advanced techniques to sand, clean, and neutralize discoloration, followed by custom staining and refinishing to restore a consistent color.
6
Recoating Without Full Sanding (Screen & Recoat)
This method involves light abrasion (screening) of the existing finish, followed by applying a new topcoat. It’s ideal for floors that have lost their shine but don’t require full sanding. It refreshes appearance, adds protection, and extends the life of your floors.
7
Reattaching Loose Floorboards
Loose boards can shift or lift, causing gaps or uneven surfaces. We re-secure them using specialized adhesives, nails, or screws — depending on the floor type — ensuring they sit flush and stable within the flooring system.
8
Creaky Floor Repair and Reinforcement
Creaking is often caused by loose boards or movement between the floor and subfloor. We reinforce these areas with screws or adhesives and adjust the subfloor where necessary to eliminate noise and restore structural integrity.
9
Seamless Wood Floor Patching
Small sections of damaged flooring — such as burn marks or gouges — can be carefully removed and replaced with new wood that matches the grain, species, and finish. Our goal is to make the patch completely blend in with the surrounding floor.
10
Sun-Fade Restoration for Wood Floors
Sunlight can cause uneven fading, especially under rugs or near windows. We sand and refinish the affected areas, evening out the tone and restoring the original warmth and richness of your floor’s color.
11
Pet Damage Repair for Hardwood Floors
From urine stains to claw scratches and chewed corners, pet-related damage is common in homes with dogs or cats. We specialize in treating stains, repairing gouges, and refinishing the surface to erase any signs of wear or odor.
