Hardwood Floor
Repair
Water damage repair and maintenance coats that protect your investment and extend the life of your hardwood floors.
Water Damage Repair
From minor staining to buckling and cupping, we assess water-damaged hardwood and determine the most effective fix — from spot treatment and board replacement to blending the repair seamlessly back into your existing finish.
Maintenance Coats
A screen-and-recoat refreshes your finish without the cost of full refinishing. Ideal for floors showing light wear but still in good structural condition — it adds years of protection and keeps your floor looking its best.
Scratch, gouge, and individual board repairs are handled for existing customers and as part of a full refinish. For new projects, our focus is water damage repair, maintenance coats, and complete refinishing.
Repair vs. Refinish
Not sure which your floors need? If you're seeing localized water damage — a stain, a soft spot, minor cupping — a targeted repair is likely the right call. If wear patterns cover large areas and the finish is dull or worn through to bare wood throughout, full refinishing will give you the best result. Schedule a free assessment and John will recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Repair FAQ
When should I repair vs. refinish my floors?
If damage is limited to a few boards or a small area, repair is typically more cost-effective. If wear is widespread across the floor surface, full refinishing usually makes more sense both aesthetically and financially.
Can you fix water-damaged hardwood?
In many cases, yes. Minor water damage can often be repaired by replacing affected boards and blending the finish. Severe buckling or cupping may require more extensive restoration. We'll assess the damage and recommend the best approach.
What is a maintenance coat?
A maintenance coat (or "screen and recoat") applies a fresh layer of finish over your existing floor without sanding down to bare wood. It extends the life of your finish by several years and costs significantly less than a full refinish.
