Hardwood Floor Scratch Repair in Pickering

Hey there, neighbour! It’s frustrating, isn't it? You've got these beautiful hardwood floors, but over time, life happens, and scratches appear from pets, furniture, or just daily wear and tear. A lot of folks think they need to sand down the whole room, which is a huge and dusty job. But honestly, for most surface scratches and minor gouges, that's often not needed. We can usually fix just the damaged spots, saving you a whole lot of time and hassle.

Our Approach to Scratch Repair

Every scratch tells a story, but you don't have to live with it forever. The first thing we do is figure out what kind of scratch we're dealing with. Is it a light scuff that's only in the top layer of the finish? Or is it a deeper gouge that has actually dug into the wood itself? The solution depends on the depth. For light surface scratches, we can often gently buff the area and re-apply a matching top coat to make it disappear. This is a quick and very effective process that blends right in.

For deeper gouges that have broken through the finish and scraped the wood, the process is a bit more involved, but still manageable. We'll carefully clean the area and use a special wood filler that's tinted to match the colour of your flooring. Once it's set, we sand it perfectly smooth and then apply several layers of protective finish to match the sheen, whether it's matte, satin, or semi-gloss. We're meticulous about this part to ensure the repair is as invisible as possible.
