Can you fix just one or two bad scratches?

Absolutely! That's what we specialize in. No job is too small, and it's a great way to avoid the cost of refinishing the entire room.

How long does the repair take to dry?

It depends on the type of repair, but most fillers and finishes are safe for light foot traffic within a few hours and fully cured in about 24 hours. We'll give you specific instructions.

Will the repaired spot match the rest of my floor?

That's our main goal. We're experts at colour and finish matching to blend the repair seamlessly with your existing indoor hardwood. It's a bit of an art, and we take pride in it! Repair appearance depends on the condition of the surrounding floor and the availability of compatible matching material.

How We Fix Your Scratches

It’s not magic, but it’s close! Our process is straightforward and focuses on a flawless, lasting repair. First, we carefully assess the scratch to determine its depth and the type of wood and finish you have. We then thoroughly clean the area to remove any dirt or oils that could interfere with the repair. For deeper gouges, we use a specialized, colour-matched wood filler that hardens to become a permanent part of your floor. For surface-level scratches, we often use delicate blending techniques with stains and finishes.

The final and most important step is seamlessly blending the repair. We meticulously match the colour and sheen of your existing finish, feathering it into the surrounding area so the original damage becomes practically invisible. Our goal is to make it look like the scratch was never there in the first place.

Is a Spot Repair Right for You?

Spot repairs are perfect for isolated damage like one or two deep scratches or a small cluster of lighter scuffs. If you're generally happy with your floors but are bothered by a few specific blemishes, this is the most cost-effective solution. It saves you the time, expense, and disruption of sanding down and refinishing an entire room. However, if your floor has widespread damage, deep discolouration from sun or water, or the finish is worn out everywhere, a full refinishing might be the better long-term option. We'll always give you an honest opinion on what's best for your home and your budget.

Repair expectations: Repair appearance depends on the condition of the surrounding floor and the availability of compatible matching material.

"Great experience, workers were reliable, constant open communication regarding progress of the jobs. Fair market pricing I always get multiple quotes for projects so I know the pricing was competitive. Pleasant to work with and accommodating. Quick to return calls and e-mails. Will have Rudy back to install another job later this year in 2014."

"Rudy and team are friendly, knowledgeable, on time and on budget. He supplied and installed laminate in our basement and capped the stairs with hardwood. We initially called several flooring companies and they did not know what to do with our box stairs, which just had carpet removed. Rudy was the first and only installer who gave details and options for the stairs, and provided valued recommendations. On top of that, he stained the hardwood oak stairs perfectly to match the honey oak colored laminate. We highly recommend his services!"
