When should you seek expert wood floor repair services?

Although durable, wood floorboards are not invincible. They can be damaged by pets, water, kids, furniture moving, and more. That, however, does not mean you need to replace them entirely. Just call our experienced home repair professionals and let us perform some quick repairs. We can get your flooring looking beautiful again in no time—and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with our work. We’ll start with a free consultation to understand your goals and preferences. We’ll then measure and assess your home to get the suitable materials. Once we’ve acquired the materials, we’ll install them after preparing the subfloor. Throughout this process, we’ll provide you with any updates so you know what to expect during each stage of the installation or repair. Contact your local Mr. Handyman to discuss your project today!

What hardwood floors cannot be refinished?

Engineered hardwood cannot be refinished. It only features a layer of real hardwood veneer over a plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) core. Once the hardwood layer is damaged, refinishing it will only damage the flooring further. Laminate flooring is made of a photographic layer that mimics wood, topped with a protective coating that sits on top of a composite core. If a laminate plank is damaged, it needs to be replaced.

Do you offer customisation options for hardwood floor installations?

Our team knows wood floors are a stunning option for any home. Custom wood flooring installation offers a variety of personalised options to create the perfect home interior you’ve been dreaming of. With our customised options, you can choose from different intricate patterns, colours, types of wood, widths, and more to achieve the flooring you want. We even offer customised finishes, like hand-scraped or distressed textures. Don’t wait to transform your space—book your wood floor installation now. Contact us to schedule an appointment. We’ll provide all the details you need and keep you informed every step of the way.

Do you seal hardwood floors after installation?

Yes! We typically do at least two coats of protectant finishing and one coat of sealer after installing unfinished hardwood flooring.

How long do you have to stay off hardwood floors after installation?

We recommend waiting until all the coats have been applied and thoroughly dried before you walk on them. Expect to wait around 24 hours to resume light traffic after the final coat. Wait to move furniture back onto the floor for at least three to seven days, if possible. Cure times depend on the sealant type and can take up to 14 days. See sealer manufacturer recommendations for details.

How often should wood floors be replaced?

Wood flooring can last a lifetime. It rarely needs to be fully replaced, especially if it is well-maintained. Plus, it can be refinished multiple times to restore appearance and address wear and tear.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace hardwood floors?

Typically, repairing or refinishing hardwood floors is cheaper than installing new hardwood floors—good news if you’re on a budget. However, depending on the extent of the damage, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. We'll provide a recommendation when we come out for our free consultation.
