Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in King City

Scratches happen. A dropped object, a dragged chair, or a pet's claws can quickly mark up your hardwood floors. It's frustrating, but it doesn't mean you need a full refinishing job. I specialize in repairing these indoor imperfections directly and effectively. My focus is on a solid, lasting fix that restores the integrity of your floor without the major cost or disruption of a full replacement.

My Repair Process

The first step is a straightforward assessment. I look at the depth of the scratch. Is it just in the top polyurethane finish, or has it gone down into the wood stain or the wood itself? The solution depends on the problem. A surface-level scuff might only require a professional buff and recoat of the affected area. A deeper gouge needs more attention.

For deep scratches, the process involves carefully cleaning the area, then using a professional-grade wood filler that is matched to your floor. This isn't the stuff you get in a tube at a big-box store; it's a durable product that bonds properly with the wood. After it's set, I meticulously sand it to be perfectly level with the surrounding floor, then custom-mix stain and finish to blend the repair seamlessly.

Why Not Just Use a DIY Kit?

Store-bought repair kits and marker pens are temporary fixes at best. They rarely match the sheen of your floor, making the 'repair' stand out just as much as the scratch. Worse, they can sometimes seal contaminants into the scratch, making a future professional repair more difficult. I use materials and techniques designed for high-traffic flooring to ensure the repair is as strong as the rest of your floor.

The Right Fix for the Right Damage

I handle all common indoor hardwood floor damage, from the fine surface scratches in high-traffic hallways to deeper marks from furniture. The key is applying the correct technique. I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Getting it done right means the repair will last and you can go back to living on your floors without worry.
