Can every single scratch be removed?

Almost all of them. Light surface scratches are simple. Deep gouges that have torn the wood fibres might need more work, like filling and spot-refinishing, but we can make a vast improvement and make them as discreet as conditions allow.

Do you need to refinish my entire floor?

Usually not. For isolated scratches, our goal is a targeted repair. We only recommend a full refinishing if the damage is widespread across the entire floor, and we'll tell you that upfront.

How long does a typical scratch repair take?

Most jobs are completed within a few hours. The repair itself needs time to properly cure and harden, but the hands-on work is efficient. We provide a clear timeline before we start.

Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Orono

Check scratch depth

Determine whether the mark is in the surface finish, colour layer or the wood itself.

Identify the floor and finish

Match the wood species, colour, sheen and existing finish before selecting a repair approach.

Set a realistic repair area

Compare a localized treatment with broader refinishing when surrounding wear or colour variation will remain visible.

Hardwood floors take a lot of abuse. Furniture gets dragged, pets leave their mark, and daily life results in scratches and scuffs. Some are minor, but deeper gouges can ruin the look of an entire room. Instead of hiding them with a rug or trying a DIY kit that won't last, we offer a real, professional fix. We match our repair to your specific wood and finish, ensuring the work is durable and blends in properly. Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair

Our Approach to Scratch Repair

Fixing a scratch isn't about just colouring it in. It’s about assessing the depth and type of damage to your indoor hardwood floor. A light scuff that only affects the top polyurethane layer is a different job than a deep gouge that has cut into the wood itself. We start every job by figuring out exactly what we're dealing with. This lets us choose the right method and materials for a repair that actually lasts.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Different woods and finishes require different techniques. Our process involves carefully cleaning the area, making the repair, and then meticulously blending the finish to match the sheen and colour of your existing floor. The goal is simple: make the scratch disappear without making it obvious a repair was ever done.

Why a Professional Fix Beats a DIY Kit

Those wax sticks and markers you find at the hardware store are temporary solutions at best. They fill a scratch, but they don't bond with the floor's finish. Over time, cleaning and regular foot traffic will wear them away, and you'll be right back where you started. They also rarely match the sheen of your floor, leaving a dull or overly shiny spot that draws more attention to the problem area.

A professional repair is about durability. We use high-quality materials that bond with the existing finish to create a permanent fix. It protects the wood underneath from moisture and further damage. You invested in hardwood floors for their longevity; let us help you maintain that investment. If you're in Orono and tired of looking at scratched floors, give us a call. We'll get it sorted. Contact us at (647) 898-7839.

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

"The team from Delight flooring were amazing!!. They removed our staircase and upstairs carpet and did a fantastic job of installing our new hardwood as well as cleaning up and disposing of our old carpets. The job was completed extremely quickly and everything exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend them highly enough"

"We had 3 quotes and 1 was double Rudy's out and the other guy said it couldn't be done. Rudy got it done and they look great. Spiral staircases, one with carpet that was removed and the other was a builders grade spiral to basement. Rudy was here every day at the exact time he said he would show up and was flexible to work with around our schedule. We were delayed a week, but once we got started everything was exactly on schedule. He custom matched the stain to our current floors and we are thrilled with the finished product. They cleaned up everyday at the end of the job sd were very respectful of our home and family life (2 small kids and pets). Absolutely would recommend Rudy and his guys"
