OUR REPAIR SOLUTIONS
Scratch and Dent Remediation
Scratches and dents are common on engineered wood floors. We suggest using a color-matched wood filler to fill in small scratches. This filler can blend with the floor's color, making the repair less noticeable.
For deeper scratches, we might use a special repair kit that includes a wax stick in various colors. After applying the stick and smoothing it out, we can buff the area to restore shine.
In some cases, we can use a wood stain pen for stubborn marks. This helps to cover scratches while preserving the wood's natural look.
Water Damage Restoration
Water damage can occur due to spills or plumbing issues. Our first step is to assess the extent of the damage. If the floor has buckled or warped, we may need to replace affected boards.
For minor moisture damage, we can use a dehumidifier to help remove excess moisture from the air. After drying, we carefully sand any swollen areas to level them.
We also recommend sealing the floor with a protective coat after repairs. This can prevent future water damage and enhance the floor's durability.
Board Replacement Techniques
Sometimes, a damaged board needs to be replaced entirely. We start by locating the boards that need replacing and checking if they are glued or clicked in place.
For glued boards, we carefully remove the damaged piece using a pry bar and a chisel. We clean the area before installing a new board.
For click-lock engineered wood, removing the affected board is easier. We just disconnect it from neighboring boards and slide in a replacement. We take care to ensure that the new board fits snugly for a seamless look.
Refinishing Engineered Wood Floors
Refinishing can rejuvenate engineered wood floors showing signs of wear. We typically start by sanding the surface lightly. This removes the old finish and reveals fresh wood underneath.
After sanding, we clean the floor thoroughly to remove dust. We then apply a new coat of finish. We can choose from various finishes, including matte or gloss, to match your preference.
It's important to follow specific drying times for the best results. This ensures a durable and beautiful finish that enhances your floor’s appearance.

Common Issues Faced by Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered wood floors are popular, but they can have issues. We often see a few common problems that affect their appearance and function.
1. Scratches and Dents
These floors can get scratched or dented from furniture or heavy foot traffic. Using furniture pads can help prevent damage.
2. Moisture Damage
High humidity or spills can cause the flooring to warp or swell. We recommend wiping up spills immediately and using a dehumidifier in damp areas.
3. Fading
Direct sunlight can cause engineered wood floors to fade over time. We suggest using blinds or rugs to protect flooring from harsh rays.
4. Gaps Between Planks
Seasonal changes can lead to gaps forming between the planks. This can happen when the wood expands and contracts with temperature changes.
5. Loose or Creaky Boards
Sometimes, boards may come loose or make noise when walked on. Regular maintenance can help keep everything tight.
6. Finish Wear
The finish on engineered wood can wear away, making the floor look dull. Reapplying a finish can restore its shine.
Taking care of these common issues can help keep your engineered wood floors looking great for years. Knowing what signs to look for makes it easier to maintain the beauty and function of your flooring.
