Board Replacement
Individual plank or section replacement for cracked, cupped, or badly stained boards. We cut, fit, and blend replacement boards to match existing species and finish as closely as possible.
Water & Pet Damage
Assessment of subfloor moisture, structural board replacement, and re-finishing of affected sections. We'll tell you what can be saved before recommending a tear-out.
Weave-Ins
Seamless integration of new boards into existing patterns, including strip, plank, herringbone, and other custom layouts. We match species, grain direction, and stain before touching the floor.
Squeak Elimination
Subfloor fastening, bridging, and strategic gluing to eliminate floor squeaks from above (preferred) or below when accessible. Most squeaks can be resolved without removing finish flooring.
Stair & Threshold Work
Tread replacement, riser re-facing, nosing repairs, and threshold transitions between rooms and floor types. Squeaky stairs are a specialty.

Most floors can
be saved.
We'll always tell you honestly whether repair makes sense. In most cases, it's the right call, faster, less expensive, and less disruptive than replacement.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Floor repair FAQs
Can you match my existing hardwood floors for a repair?
In most cases, yes. Though a perfect match depends on species availability and the age of your floors. Site-finished hardwood is the easiest to blend because we refinish the entire repaired section and surrounding area together. For prefinished or engineered floors, we’ll assess whether a blend is possible or whether an accent strip (like a border or threshold) is a better design solution.
My floors were water-damaged. Can they be saved?
Often yes, depending on severity. Minor surface water damage (cupping, light staining) can usually be repaired by re-sanding and refinishing. Severe damage where boards have buckled or the subfloor is compromised may require partial or full replacement. We’ll assess the moisture content, subfloor condition, and structural integrity before recommending an approach.
How do weave-in repairs work?
A weave-in is where new boards are cut and fitted between existing boards to fill a damaged section, ‘woven’ into the existing pattern rather than patched on top of it. This is the most seamless repair technique for strip and plank floors. After fitting, we sand and refinish the entire section together so the stain and sheen match across the repair.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my floor?
Repair is almost always significantly less expensive, and less disruptive, than replacement. Even in cases of substantial damage, targeted repair plus refinishing typically costs 30–60% less than full tear-out and installation. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options so you can decide.
Can you fix squeaky floors without removing the flooring?
In most cases, yes. We use a combination of subfloor fastening (from above through the finish floor, with plugs), construction adhesive injected through pre-drilled ports, and bridging from below when accessible. We’ll diagnose the source of the squeak before recommending the approach.
