Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Newmarket

A scratch on your hardwood floor is more than just a mark; it's a detail that's out of place. It draws the eye and disrupts the smooth, beautiful surface you love. We understand this because we look at floors with the same critical eye you do. Our work isn't about quick cover-ups; it's about a careful, precise process that restores the integrity and look of your indoor flooring. We treat every scuff, gouge, or scrape as a unique problem that requires a specific, thoughtful solution.

Our Meticulous Approach to Scratch Repair

Every scratch tells a story, but it doesn't have to be a permanent one. We begin every project with a detailed assessment. Is it a light surface scuff that has only affected the top polyurethane layer? Or is it a deep gouge that has penetrated the stain and damaged the wood fibres themselves? Understanding the specific type of damage is the critical first step to a flawless repair. This dictates the tools, materials, and techniques we will use.

For deeper scratches, the process is methodical. First, we carefully clean the damaged area, ensuring it is completely free of any dust or debris that could compromise the repair. Next, we may use a specialized, high-quality wood filler, applied with precision to be perfectly level with the surrounding surface. This is where attention to detail is paramount; too much or too little filler will be obvious. Once the filler is set, the real artistry begins.

Colour Matching and Finishing Touches

This is what separates a professional repair from a DIY attempt. We don't rely on a single, generic stain pen. We custom-blend colours to perfectly match the specific shade and tone of your floor, even recreating grain lines with fine-tipped brushes. After the colour is matched, we apply a durable topcoat, meticulously matching the sheen—be it matte, satin, or semi-gloss—to ensure the repaired spot blends in seamlessly under any light. We believe a successful repair is one you can't find after we're gone. It's about restoring the original, uninterrupted beauty of your indoor hardwood floor with precision and care.
