Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Lindsay

It happens to the best of us. A chair gets dragged, a toy gets dropped, or the dog gets a little too excited. Before you know it, you've got an unsightly scratch on your beautiful hardwood floor. Don't worry, it's a super common problem here in Lindsay, and it doesn't mean you need a whole new floor. We specialize in fixing those indoor scuffs and scratches, making them disappear and restoring the warmth to your room. It's a simple fix that makes a huge difference.

How We Tackle Different Types of Scratches

Not all scratches are created equal, and we don't treat them that way either. A light surface scuff in the top finish is very different from a deep gouge that's gone right down to the bare wood. The first step is always for us to take a look and see exactly what we're dealing with. This way, we can choose the right method that's both effective and kind to your floor.

For those minor surface scratches—the kind you might see in a high-traffic hallway—the solution is often quick and simple. We can often carefully buff the area and use specialized products to blend the scratch into the existing finish. This process doesn't take long at all and can have your floor looking fantastic again in no time.

For Deeper Gouges and Marks

What about those more serious marks? Maybe some heavy furniture was moved, or something heavy was dropped. For these deeper scratches, we take a more detailed approach. This usually involves carefully cleaning the gouge, applying a professional-grade wood filler that's custom-tinted to match your floor's specific colour, and then sanding it perfectly smooth. The final, most important step is to expertly apply a matching top coat to seal the repair and make sure it blends right in.

The best part is that even for these deeper repairs, we can almost always work on just the affected board or area. This targeted approach saves you from the cost and hassle of refinishing the entire room. It's all about a precise, careful repair that respects your home and your budget.

Why Not Just Use a DIY Kit?

We get it, those store-bought repair kits can be tempting. The trouble is, getting a perfect match for your floor's unique colour and sheen is incredibly difficult. A bad match can actually make the scratch look even more obvious than before! We've seen it happen. When you call us, you're getting years of experience and professional-grade materials that ensure the repair is as seamless as possible.
