Scratches on a hardwood floor are inevitable. Furniture gets moved, pets run around, and life happens. While those marks are frustrating, they don't mean you need a full, expensive refinishing job. We focus on repairing the damage you have, blending it seamlessly with your existing floor. Our goal is a solid, lasting fix that makes the damage disappear without turning your house into a construction zone.
Our Process for Fixing Scratches
There's no magic wand, just a solid process. First, we assess the damage. Is it a light surface scuff or a deep gouge that's gone through the finish and into the wood? The depth of the scratch determines the repair method. For minor scratches, we can often buff them out and re-apply a matching top coat to restore the protective layer.
For deeper gouges, the approach is more involved. We carefully clean the damaged area, sometimes using a specialized wood filler that's matched to your floor's colour. After the filler sets, it's sanded perfectly smooth to be level with the surrounding wood. The final step is crucial: applying stain and finish, feathering it into the existing floor so the repair becomes invisible. We don't just cover it up; we rebuild the damaged spot for a permanent fix.
Why Not Just Use a DIY Kit?
Those store-bought repair markers and wax sticks are temporary fixes. They fill the scratch, but they don't bond with the wood or the finish. They wear away quickly with regular foot traffic and cleaning, and the scratch reappears. A professional repair is about durability. We use materials that are compatible with your floor's original finish, creating a bond that lasts. Getting the colour and sheen right is a craft. Do it right once, and you won't have to think about it again. Call us for a real solution at (647) 898-7839.

"I did my floor and learn that the stairs are not included because it is a different kind of job that needed to be done. I start looking for a person or company that can complete the stairs job in a timely manner and cost efficient. I receive many quotes but Rudy’s quote was details and easy to understand. After reviewing all quotes, I decide to give the job to Rudy. A bit scared of what will come out of it, Rudy reassure me that my house was his show room and I will be please when is done. Let me say I am not please but over please. Rudy was efficient, extremely professional. He respected my time line as I was expecting my kids that weekend. I would highly recommend using this company, they are all the things you could ask for in a contractor; polite, neat, reasonably priced and timely. Thank you so much again Rudy for all your great work!"

"Rudy and his assistant, Mo, worked very hard to complete our stair project on time and on budget. They did not complain or come back to us with updated quotes or other issues. We are very pleased with the final result and have received many compliments on our new staircase. To add a touch of class, we offered them water from our garage fridge and to our surprise, they replaced the water they used at the end of the week. It was a very nice (but unnecessary) thing to do. Our only issue in the end was that some of the nails were still visible on the quarter round used to finish the trim work and there were a few blemishes on the stairs we had to touch up. These were very minor and ultimately, we couldn't be happier with the completed project. We would definitely recommend Rudy and his Team."

"Finding the right flooring can be stressful and expensive. And finding the right installer could be the same. With so many incapable installers out there, you just never know who to trust. Rudy was professional and prompt from the start. They showed up when promised and started working without delay. They nailed and used adhesive where necessary. I am very impressed with their skill and attention to detail and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Delight Flooring and I look forward to my second floor hardwood installation."
