Hardwood Flooring Repair Services in San Francisco, CA: Expert Solutions from San Francisco Flooring Company

Our Hardwood Flooring Repair Services

We offer expert hardwood flooring repair services in San Francisco. Our skilled team can fix a wide range of issues and restore your floors to their former beauty.

Damage Assessment and Consultation

We start by doing a full check of your hardwood floors. Our experts look for signs of damage like scratches, dents, or water spots. We take notes and photos to show you what we find.



Next, we talk with you about what we see. We explain the types of damage and how bad they are. We also give you options for fixing the problems.


Our team answers your questions and helps you choose the best fix. We make sure you know what to expect from the repair process.

Precision Repair Techniques

We use special tools and methods to fix your floors. For small scratches, we might use wood filler or touch-up markers. Deeper scratches may need sanding and refinishing.



For loose or squeaky boards, we can secure them properly. If boards are cracked or badly damaged, we can replace them with matching wood.


Water damage is tricky. We dry the area fully, then fix or replace damaged boards. We also check for mold and treat it if needed.

Finishing and Refinishing Options

After repairs, we make sure your floor looks great. We offer many finishing choices to match your style:



  • Matte finish: Low shine, hides small flaws
  • Satin finish: Soft glow, easy to clean
  • Semi-gloss: More shine, shows grain well
  • High gloss: Very shiny, formal look


We can also stain your floor to change its color. Our team helps you pick the right shade to match your home's style.


For older floors, we offer full refinishing. We sand down the wood, fix any issues, then apply new stain and finish. This makes your floor look like new again.

The Repair Process

At San Francisco Flooring Company, we follow a thorough repair process to restore your hardwood floors. We start with a detailed inspection, move on to careful repairs, and finish with advice on maintaining your newly repaired floor.

Initial Inspection

We begin by examining the damaged area closely. Our trained technicians look for signs of wear, water damage, or structural issues. We check the extent of the problem and identify any underlying causes.



We use specialized tools to measure moisture levels and assess the floor's overall condition. This helps us determine the best repair approach.


We take photos and notes to document the damage. We then discuss our findings with you and explain our proposed repair plan.

Repair Workflow

Our repair process starts with preparing the work area. We cover nearby furniture and seal off the space to minimize dust.



For minor scratches, we often use wood filler and touch-up stains. Deep gouges may require board replacement. We carefully remove damaged boards and install new ones that match your existing floor.


For water damage, we may need to dry out the subfloor first. We use dehumidifiers and fans to prevent further issues.


After repairs, we sand the area to create a smooth surface. We then apply stain to match the surrounding wood and finish with a protective sealant.

Post-Repair Care

Once repairs are complete, we provide guidance on maintaining your floor. We recommend using felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.



We advise using a soft-bristled broom or vacuum for regular cleaning. For deeper cleaning, we suggest using a damp mop with a wood-specific cleaner.


We also explain how to control indoor humidity to prevent wood expansion and contraction. Using humidifiers or dehumidifiers can help maintain ideal conditions.


We offer follow-up inspections to ensure the repairs hold up over time. This allows us to address any issues early before they become major problems.

FAQs

Hardwood floor repair involves assessing damage, addressing issues promptly, and choosing the right service provider. We'll cover common concerns and offer practical advice for San Francisco homeowners.

  • What are the common signs that indicate the need for hardwood floor repair?

    Scratches, dents, and gaps between boards are clear signs your floor needs repair. Creaking or squeaking noises when walking on the floor can also point to problems. Discoloration, warping, or cupping of boards are other indicators that professional attention is needed.


    Water stains or dark spots might mean moisture damage. Loose or popping nails are another red flag to watch for.

  • How do you determine the extent of damage to hardwood floors?

    We start with a visual inspection of the entire floor surface. This helps identify obvious issues like scratches or gaps. We then use moisture meters to check for hidden water damage.


    Tapping the floor can reveal hollow spots or loose boards. We may need to remove a few boards to check the subfloor condition in severe cases.

  • Can hardwood floors be repaired if there is water damage?

    Yes, water-damaged hardwood floors can often be repaired. The key is quick action. We first dry out the area completely using dehumidifiers and fans.


    For minor damage, sanding and refinishing might be enough. Severe cases may require replacing affected boards. We always assess the full extent before recommending a solution.

  • What is the average turnaround time for professional hardwood flooring repair?

    Repair time varies based on the damage extent and repair type. Small jobs like fixing a few scratches might take a day. Larger projects could last a week or more.


    Refinishing an entire floor typically takes 3-5 days. This includes sanding, staining, and applying multiple coats of finish. We always provide a timeline estimate before starting work.

  • Are there any maintenance tips to prevent frequent hardwood flooring repairs?

    Regular cleaning is crucial. Sweep or vacuum daily to remove dirt and grit. Use a slightly damp mop weekly for deeper cleaning.


    Place mats at entrances to catch dirt. Use furniture pads to prevent scratches. Trim pet nails regularly. Maintain consistent indoor humidity to prevent wood warping.
