Floor Repair FAQs
How are damaged planks removed and replaced in the middle of a floor?
A professional carefully cuts the damaged board out, often using a specialized saw to avoid cutting neighboring boards. They then 'tongue and groove' a new board to fit, or carefully cut the tongue off the new board to drop it into place, securing it with glue or nails.
Can pet stains be completely removed from hardwood?
If the pet stain is deep and black, it means the urine has penetrated deep into the wood fibers. In these cases, the board often needs to be completely removed and replaced, as sanding may not reach the depth of the stain.
