Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in East Gwillimbury

A beautiful hardwood floor is the heart of a room, but an unsightly scratch can draw all the attention. It's frustrating when a dropped toy or a dragged chair leaves a mark. We understand that it's not just about fixing a piece of wood; it's about restoring the flawless surface you love. That’s why we approach every scratch repair in East Gwillimbury with an obsessive level of detail, ensuring the fix is as close to perfect as possible.

Our Detailed Approach to Scratch Repair

Fixing a scratch correctly requires more than just a bit of filler. It's a careful process that respects the wood and the original finish. Our first step is always a detailed assessment. We examine the scratch's depth, width, and location to determine the exact method needed. A surface scuff in the topcoat is treated very differently from a deep gouge that has penetrated the stain and damaged the wood fibers.

For surface-level scratches, we often use a precision polishing and blending technique that restores the protective finish without affecting the wood's colour. For deeper marks, the process is more involved. We meticulously clean the damaged area, carefully apply a matching colour-matched hard wax or wood filler, and then build up layers of finish to replicate the original sheen, whether it's matte, satin, or semi-gloss. We don't just aim for 'close enough'; we aim for an integrated repair that you have to search for to find.

When is a Full Refinish a Better Option?

While we excel at spot repairs, we believe in honest advice. If your floor has widespread scratching, deep discolouration, or extensive wear across most of its surface, a targeted repair might not be the most cost-effective solution. In these cases, sanding and refinishing the entire floor might be the better long-term investment. We can help you make that call. Our goal is to provide the right solution for your specific floor and your budget, ensuring a result you'll be happy with for years. It all starts with a careful, in-person look at the issue.
