Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Omemee

A scratch on a beautiful hardwood floor can be incredibly distracting. It's often the only thing you see when you walk into a room. Many 'quick fixes' can make the problem worse, leaving a noticeable patch that doesn't quite match. We believe the only way to properly fix a scratch is with patience and an obsessive eye for detail, treating your indoor floor with the care it deserves.

Our Meticulous Scratch Repair Process

When you call us to look at a scratch, the first thing we do is assess it carefully. Is it a light surface scuff, or a deep gouge that has penetrated the wood's finish and stain? The type of scratch dictates the precise method we must use. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions because every floor, every piece of wood, and every scratch is unique. This initial, careful inspection is the most critical step to ensuring a perfect result inside your home.

For surface-level scratches that haven't broken through the polyurethane finish, we use a very specific cleaning and buffing process. This isn't about just rubbing something on it; it's about gently re-amalgamating the existing finish to hide the mark without altering the floor's texture or sheen. It requires a delicate touch and the right materials to avoid haze or a dull spot.

Deeper Scratches Require Deeper Care

When a scratch has gone past the finish and into the wood itself, a more involved process is necessary. This is where our obsession with detail truly shows. We'll start by meticulously cleaning the gouge itself, removing any trapped debris. Then, we carefully apply a matching wood filler or hard wax stick, building it up in thin layers. The most crucial part is colour matching. We custom-blend stains to perfectly match your floor's specific colour and age, applying it with fine brushes to ensure it only touches the repaired area.

Finally, we replicate the topcoat. Whether your floor has a matte, satin, or semi-gloss finish, we apply the correct polyurethane layer by layer, feathering the edges to create a completely invisible transition. It’s a slow, deliberate process, but it's the only way to make a scratch truly vanish. We serve homeowners throughout Omemee, and we take pride in restoring the smooth, uniform beauty of your indoor hardwood floors.
