Hardwood Floor Repairs

THE HQ APPROACH

Start with the floor.
Choose the right treatment.

Selective repair and thoughtful board matching can often preserve more of an original floor.

Every project begins with an assessment of the existing floor, its condition, and the homeowner's goals. Recommendations are made after that evaluation—not before it.

THE HQ WAY

Repair before replace

A damaged section is not automatically a new floor. Boards can be cut in, gaps addressed, transitions rebuilt, and stained areas dealt with — often for a fraction of what replacement costs, and always with more of the original floor left standing.

THE HQ WAY

The three that homeowners ask about most

Pet stains that have gone through the finish into the wood, water damage around dishwashers and radiators, and gaps that open every winter. Each has a different answer, and the answer depends on how deep the damage actually goes — which is why HQ looks before quoting.

THE HQ WAY

Matching a repair into an existing floor

A repair is only successful if you stop seeing it. HQ matches species, cut, and width, and is straight with you about whether the repair will blend fully, blend after a recoat, or only disappear with a full refinish of the connected area.

THE HQ WAY

When a repair should wait for a refinish

Sometimes the right sequence is repair and refinish together, because sanding the whole floor is what makes the patch vanish. HQ will say so rather than doing a repair twice.

ALSO CONSIDER

Maybe your floor
needs something else.

HQ recommends the least aggressive treatment that will get the result. These are the neighbouring options — see all of them under services.
