Restoring Floors with Expert Repair Solutions
Hardwood floors are built to last, but over time, they can develop damage that affects both appearance and functionality. From pet stains to water damage, gaps between boards, and deep scratches, these issues can make floors look worn and uneven. At Tom Tran Hardwood Floor, we provide professional hardwood floor repair and board replacement services throughout Boston, restoring floors to their original beauty while extending their lifespan.
Common Types of Floor Damage
Boston homes and businesses face unique conditions that can wear down hardwood surfaces. Our repair services address a wide range of problems, ensuring your flooring remains solid and visually appealing for decades.
Pet Stains and Odor Issues
Pet accidents can penetrate wood fibers, leaving behind dark stains and unpleasant odors. Repairing these areas often requires sanding or replacing the affected boards to ensure a fresh, clean surface.
Gaps Between Boards
Seasonal humidity changes in Boston can cause boards to expand and contract, leaving noticeable gaps. We repair these areas to restore a smooth, even surface that prevents dirt buildup and drafts.
Scratches and Gouges
Heavy furniture, dropped objects, and daily traffic can leave marks that sanding alone cannot remove. Board replacement or patching eliminates these imperfections for a flawless finish.
Water and Moisture Damage
Leaks, spills, or excess humidity can cause boards to warp or cup. Damaged sections are replaced with carefully matched wood to blend seamlessly with the rest of the floor.
Our Repair and Replacement Process
Every repair is handled with precision to ensure the final result is both durable and visually consistent. Our team begins by inspecting the damage and determining whether sanding, patching, or full board replacement is required.
Board Replacement
When damage is too severe for surface repair, individual boards are removed and replaced with new wood matched for species, grain, and color. This method ensures the repaired area integrates seamlessly into the existing floor.
Patching and Filling
Smaller cracks, scratches, and minor imperfections are patched and filled with durable materials before being sanded smooth. This approach restores function and prevents further damage without the need for full replacement.
Seamless Integration
After repairs are completed, we sand and finish the entire area so the transition between old and new wood is invisible. Clients can choose to refinish the full floor for a completely uniform appearance.
Residential and Commercial Repair Services
From historic townhouses in Beacon Hill to busy retail spaces in downtown Boston, hardwood floor repair is a practical way to preserve investment and improve everyday living. Residential clients often request repairs for pet damage or water issues, while commercial properties rely on timely fixes to keep spaces safe and attractive for customers and employees. Our services adapt to the scale of each project, whether it’s a single room or an entire building.
Protecting Floors After Repair
Once repairs are complete, proper care helps prevent future damage. Using felt pads on furniture, cleaning with hardwood-safe products, and maintaining stable humidity levels can all extend the life of repaired flooring. We also offer refinishing and buffing services to provide added protection and ensure your hardwood floors remain beautiful for years to come.
